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?
I loved this show and very disappoointed it is not returning. Such great storylines I loved it
Bluff City Law was a great show! The writers did a great job and never disappointed. What I don’t understand is why the demographics are only represented by 18-49. What about the 50+. We watch tv also. Don’t the baby boomers represent a larger demographic than the millennial’s?
We really liked Bluff City Law. Why do you keep canceling all the good law shows. Just love Jimmy Smits!
Bluff City was much better show than most on air these days.it was entertaining & intelligent. Unlike all these reality shows!! Sad network didnt even give the show a fair chance.
Awesome show. Great acting. Interesting storyline every episode. Too bad a network with more common sense hasn’t picked it up.
Ok,another heartbreak for me here,gonna miss Sidney!! Everyone else,too,but mostly Sidney,lol
heartbreak to see Sydney gone
I loved Bluff City Law and am very dissppointed that it is canceled.
I wish NBC would have given this show another season to gel. it had potential.
I’m sorry to hear about Bluff City Law, but not surprised. I wrote it off based on the new season promotions, but a third of the way through the season I found it and to my surprise I loved it.
That’s really too bad. That was an excellent show!! I would have loved to see a second season.
Dumb move to cancel this one. I absolutely loved this show. It was very unique, had the family thing going on with working through problems. Teared up a few times. This would have been a great show once people discovered it.
I loved watching Bluff City Law and hate that it was canceled
Very disappointed that Bluff City Law has been canceled. Great characters and intelligent storylines. Lots of potential. Love Jimmy Smits and Sydney’s character was great. Bad decision.
I definitely would have watched this show again. I’m sorry it was cancelled
This should have been renewed as should have Lincoln Rhyme. Does NBC not understand that they are cancelling good shows? It seems they have no clue!
This was the best show of the season… Excellent writing… Excellent acting… What a shame!
