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 it and I don’t think it was given much of a chance all the cheesy shows they didn’t cancel makes me crazy mad you just get envold with the characters and then they cancel
will miss bluff city law…compared to the nonsense that is being renewed…this was a great show. The writing was great, the characters were engaging. So, so sad…hard to find shows like this. Will watch on demand. Hope another network will pick up. There are aren’t any quality dramas on nbc…maybe nbc should cancel the people who are making the wrong decisions.
I was waiting for it to return. I loved it. Wish they would reconsider.
Loved the show! I was so looking forward to the next season, very disappointed in NBC. The characters were great, as were the storylines. I’m from the south so I really enjoyed seeing (& hearing) the southern lifestyle shown in a positive light. Hopefully they will reconsider or another network will pick it up.
Love it. Please renew it.
I enjoyed this Season. Please renew it
I loved this show. Incredibly disappointed in NBC. Nothing more to say as it doesn’t matter. I’ll take NBC out of my extraordinary playlist!
I love this show. I would have watched the 2nd season.
I love this show. Sad to see it’s not returning. Jimmy smits is awesome. Other actors were great. Storylinescwell written.
Best series U’ve ever seen on TV. Stars writing etc too notch!!!
Each episode kept my total attention.
Had been looking forward to another season.
My family and I never missed an episode! This was the networks most promising primetime show in a long time. We most definitely would have enjoyed watching a second season. The network has made a huge mistake in not bringing it back for its sophomore year! The storylines were amazing and relatable. The talented cast and excellent acting made it easy to tune in each week. Jimmy Smits, come on…everything he touches is golden! PLEASE reconsider bringing it back! Bring it back before another network scoops it up. Keep sharing this amazing show with us. Fingers crossed.
This show was really good , please take another look. Your making a mistake
Big mistake.
I wish networks would give shows a chance and if not give the loyal viewers a wrap up show to not leave us hanging. Great shows go off the air and crappy shows are left on the air, don’t understand. This was a good show and had some great storylines !!
I believe they should change their minds and renew this show. Everyone in the cast is outstanding.
