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?
I love All Rise, I wish someone would pick it up!!
So disappointed All Rise has been canceled. It’s a great show.
Every Monday night. I looked forward to Seeing All Rise.
Was my night to myself. I loved this show so much.
Where do they always cancel the best ones.
Please bring it….
I’m sure there are others that want it back..
I love All Rise. I don’t know why you take good shows off the air. I’m very disappointed
All Rise is an awesome show. Monday is my favorite night and taking this show off is a mistake. Bring it back!!
I’m so disappointed to see that All Rise was canceled. It was one of the few shows that I looked forward to every week. It examined issues from viewpoints we rarely see on TV. Please reconsider and bring back this diverse cast with well scripted episodes every week!
There are two fans in this household. We love the dynamics and relationships. I HATE that the network is throwing in the towel just when others get to know this crew. Monday nights are my Must see TV. Please reconsider. A whole lot know better than this.
I love All RISE! A fresh insight on what judges do and portrayed well. If you need to hire a better writer do it. I can’t believe you are canceling this show when we are just getting through COVID and great to see how court system did it! Give it another chance PLEASE!
I agree with most here, All Rise had a great cast, handled current issues and I looked forward to Monday for that reason. Positive role models, family friendly, CBS thought you had hit the bullseye here but you actually missed. Big mistake cancelling, very disappointed.
Ugh! Sorry show had been cancelled definitely would have toned in for season three. Too many cop and medical shows that all feature same storylines. So wish CBS kept it at least through mid season see what happens. Do they truly have a following it all the breaks in between.
Looks like I won’t be watching CBS any more. I loved the diverse cast looking to change our justice system & make it more humane & root out discrimination. I am so tired of most TV. I still miss God Friended Me.
I am sorry to see this show go. It had a very balanced way of looking at issues with a great pinch of comedy inserted. I will miss watching it!!
Why cancel all rise I Love that show. That’s what I always watch on monday
We will miss it. It is one of only about 5 “must sees” every week in our household
What can I say that hasn’t been said before. CBS you SUCK. You keep the crappy shows and get rid of good ones. Wise up!
