It appears that Battle Creek has lost the ratings war. The low-rated Sunday night police series has been cancelled by CBS.
Battle Creek revolves around two mismatched law enforcement officers — Detective Russ Agnew (Dean Winters) and FBI Special Agent Milton Chamberlain (Josh Duhamel) — who have polar opposite views of the world and end up being partners. The rest of the cast includes Janet McTeer, Kal Penn, Aubrey Dollar, and Edward Fordham Jr.
The show debuted on March 1st to a disappointing 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.92 million viewers. The numbers got even worse in later weeks and has fallen to lows of a 0.7 demo rating and fewer than six million viewers.
Those numbers aren’t good enough for CBS to order a second season so they’ve now cancelled it.
There are four unaired episodes remaining and the last installment is currently scheduled to air on May 24th.

Yes it should be brought back. It was I know of several people that loved it. It was a wonderful crime comedy great actors and stories.
What do I say, I just can’t believe Battle Creek is being canceled. I just watched the entire season 1 on Netflix and loved it!!! Every episode loved it! The acting was amazing, the actors were amazing, the writing was amazing. Dean Winter’s portrayal of his character Russ Agnew was spot on, he played his character from the top of his head to the ends of his fingers and toes. Wonderful to watch! Josh Duhamel was great too! Enjoyed watching how their characters rubed each other the wrong way, and became the thing they each needed. Then the actors who… Read more »
LOVE the show. The depth of character interplay and geniuine soul-ful bantor is not found anywhere else. BRING IT BACK! find another network !
What about the rest of the world? I love Battle Creek, its intelligent and funny! Great actors and good script. Aussie fan!!!!
It just amazes me that 6 million viewers aren’t enough to keep a show! Not everyone likes the same thing I get that but if 6 million people agree it’s good for ***** sakes! I love it!
I think it should have a second season. It is a really well done show.
Yes ! It should go on
We love the show and found it on Netflix. Both funny and serious. CBS should know when they have a good show and put it in a good time slot. oR maybe Netflix should take it over.
This is a great cop show. It is rough and funny at the same time, while falling in love with all the characters. Definitely want to continue watching.
We watch on Netflix and love this show. Bring it back!! It is both serious and funny which is a great combination
This show is sooo good. I love Dean Winters!!!!! I All the characters are hilarious and I think the story lines are funny but also have a serious side that makes you want to learn more. Bring it back ! It’s a mistake to cancel it.
Really liked this show. Fun. Quirky , good characters. Thoughtful. Not trashy. Bring out season 3
I absolutely love this show. We just binge watched the entire season. Highly disappointed to discover there is no season 2. It would be great if Netflix, or some one could pick up the series!!
