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?
Both my husband and I loved this show. Why do good shows like this get the ax and some of the silly sitcoms stay on. Don’t understand and am very disappointed in NBC for canceling this very good show.
HUGE MISTAKE NBC!!!!!! Bluff City Law was the ONLY show i watched on NBC…. back to CBS for me.
So very sorry to see this BCL cancelled yet the network continues to renew ridiculous shows like Manifest. I looked forward to the next episode of BCL every week. It was always a new story line unlike the stupid repetitive story on Manifest. Whoever makes these decisions should be fired.
This is a good show for the times. Great story line and actors. Real life situations.
Bluff City Law is a great show. It had a good story line. Good actors. Very entertaining. Better the watching Nightline!
You take off the good show like this one. One that you can learn from some of the cases they take on. Then you keep shows that don’t make sense. I am getting so disappointed with all the networks here lately, where they are taking off or not renewing shows that are good one. I am getting to the point, I am just going to stop watching some networks, because I don’t like the shows they are leaving on their network.
Drat!!!! I was hoping for a second season…why was it cancelled???
I miss BCL. I think it was the highest quality show of the season. Deep story lines. great acting and Memphis was a great backdrop. Soundtrack unique and refreshing. break out role for Caitlin Mcgee
Yes, I definitely was intrigued and would love to see it continue!
