This court won’t be back in session during the 2021-22 television season. CBS has cancelled the All Rise legal drama series so we won’t be seeing a third season.
All Rise stars Simone Missick, Wilson Bethel, Marg Helgenberger, Jessica Camacho, J. Alex Brinson, Lindsay Mendez, Ruthie Ann Miles, Lindsay Gort, and Audrey Corsa. The series follows the chaotic, hopeful (and sometimes absurd) world of those who work at a courthouse in Los Angeles. At the center of this drama series is Lola Carmichael (Missick), a recently appointed judge who was previously a highly regarded and impressive deputy district attorney. She depends on the counsel of people like her Deputy District Attorney Mark Callan (Bethel), Supervisory Judge Lisa Benner (Helgenberger), and pragmatic judicial assistant Sherri Kansky (Miles). Lola pushes the boundaries and challenges the expectations of what a judge can be and receives both support and pushback from those around her.
Airing on Monday nights, the second season of All Rise averages a 0.45 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.01 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season one, that’s down by 27% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership. It’s one of the lower-rated scripted shows on CBS.
The cancellation follows a number of behind-the-scenes issues — including the departure of creator/showrunner Greg Spottiswood following misconduct allegations.
The de facto series finale will air on May 24th.
What do you think? Do you make a point to watch the All Rise TV series each week? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Would you have tuned in for season three on CBS?
My husband and I loved this show & would DEFINITELY continued to watch (unless on same time of his favorite NCIS_ha!) Actors did great job and the story lines were good. We were shocked it had lower ratings & only 2 seasons! We really miss the show!!~ Wish they could recreate and bring back!
They kept playing with All Rise with many breaks in the schedule! I enjoyed the show! I would’ve Definitely tuned in for season 3!
I enjoyed All Rise and faithfully tuned in every week! I’ll miss the show! I hope the show will find another home! I’ll be there!!!!
I really enjoyed all Rise. I was looking forward to new season.
I loved this show and would have kept watching it
I love this show! Why on Earth would you cancel it? I always look forward to watching. Why are all the good shows being cancelled?
I LOVED All Rise. It was such a great show and I’m very sad to see it go. I hate that CBS has gotten rid of a show that was conscientious of both sides of the justice system as well as the perspective of the judges and police.
I am so upset. This is a great show and you are canceling it. I hope another network will pick it up. This was one of my favorite shows to watch
