The (finally) judgment is in. NBC has officially cancelled Bluff City Law after only one season and 10 episodes.
The legal drama stars Caitlin McGee as Sydney Strait, a brilliant lawyer who joins her estranged father at his law firm after her mother passes away. The cast also includes Jimmy Smits, Scott Shepherd, Barry Sloane, Michael Luwoye, MaameYaa Boafo, Stony Blyden, and Jayne Atkinson.
The first season of Bluff City Law averaged a 0.56 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.66 million viewers. That makes Bluff City Law one of NBC‘s lower-rated series for the 2019-20 season.
The writing seemed to be on the wall when the network opted not to order any additional installments of the low-rated Monday night series beyond the initial 10 episode order. However, the network insisted that the show was still in the running for a 2020-21 renewal. The last episode aired on November 25, 2019.
Of NBC’s new crop of scripted series for 2019-20, only Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist was renewed for a second season. In addition to Bluff City Law, freshman series Indebted, Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector, Sunnyside, and Perfect Harmony have all been cancelled.
What do you think? Did you watch Bluff City Law on NBC? Would you have watched a second season of this drama series?
Seen the first two episodes and I love it. Too bad it has been cancelled 🙁
I’ve only just learned of this show today. I love legal dramas, enjoyed the pilot and look forward to the next episode. Hope this show returns.
you cant leave us hanging with jake going to her door ?????
I thought it was a great programme. Great actors, stories all kept my interest. I do hope NBC reconsider and get a 2nd season.
I can’t understand shows as good as this get cancelled after just one season but rubbish ones go on to 5,10 & 15 seasons.
Fantastic show, the Network don’t know what they’re talking about.
I really enjoyed this show and was looking forward to the next season ☹️ So annoying
Loved this show! Wish it would get picked up!
I liked it. The characters are complex and lovable . Great story lines ! Maybe move it to a different night
