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?
Loved Loved Bluff City Law.
Hate that you cancelled it!!
I loved Bluff City Law!! Every time I find a good show it doesn’t get renewed. Would love to see this show come back!
I loved Bluff City Law. So disappointed. Should not have competed with Bull.
Really liked Bluff City Law. Always heart warming ending and included the work for the poor and under payed all colors. Love Jimmy Smits here. Please bring back
I totally enjoyed this show and am so disappointed that there will be no Season 2! Loved the characters and actors, it was a somewhat unique story line.
Really enjoyed the show, u guys really disappointed me.
Really enjoyed Bluff City law! The characters were well-written and enjoyable and I loved it being set in that area, was a nice change! I definitely could see enjoying it for a few years! I sure hope someone, another Network 😉 picks it up! Good acting too.
We really liked this show. The cast seemed to enjoy working together. We are sorry it won’t be back
They should cancel NBC for canceling this show. I think it’s very strong, smart, sensitive show and has intelligent actors/actresses in Bluff City Law.

I loved this show and about to cancel TV because every show I like continues to get canceled.
I loved the show and really would like to see a second season!!
That’s terrible! How could Bluff City Law and Lincoln Rhymes: Hunt for the Bone Collector NOT be renewed? Both were just left hanging!!
Loved Bluff City Law, would love to see season 2
We are really disappointed to see a quality show dumped so quickly. It feels like NBC has ADHD, pandering only to an audience that suffers from the same. Quick, throw something shiny and outrageous on the screen for better Ratings.
The cancellation of well-written dramas such as Bluff City Law explains why I stopped watching network tv in the first place.
AGREED!!!!
