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 really liked Bluff City Law and sad that is has been cancelled. A good mix of great actors and good storylines. The good ones always get cancelled!
Bring back Bluff City Law
Please bring back Bluff City Law. Loved the cast and Memphis.
I was extreme sad to hear Bluff City Law was not renewed. I loved the characters and stories.How do you cancel Jimmy Smits? Perhaps a diffetent time slot. A terrible injustice to fine cast.
was brilliant series excellent cast and writers
it is my mothers serrie
This show was top-shelf work. The writing was awesome – the show was very relevant – and the acting did it justice. Episode 10, Perfect Day” was one of the most emotional hours of TV drama I have ever seen. This show could have been promoted better and would have picked up viewers if that had been done. I would love for this show to return. Netflix???
I really enjoyed bluff city law. But then I in a different demographic. Please bring it back. I watched home economics and recognized “Sidney”.
I loved the series. I have just binged on it and am disappointed to see that there isn’t another season.
I loved this show – I’m not happy that it’s cancelled
Bone Collector was worth watching too.
I really enjoyed this show too!!!! Please bring it back.
I thought Bluff City Law was a good show and would definitely watch a second season
Can’t believe this great show is not coming back. With all the stupid shows on, they canceled this one. Why
Enjoyed this series. Was looking forward to Season 2.
