Jimmy Smits won multiple awards for his work on the LA Law TV series back in the 1990s. Now, he’s back on NBC in another legal drama called Bluff City Law. Will his latest show also be a big success on the peacock network? Will Bluff City Law be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A legal drama, the Bluff City Law TV series stars Jimmy Smits, Caitlin McGee, Scott Shepherd, Barry Sloane, Michael Luwoye, MaameYaa Boafo, Stony Blyden, and Jayne Atkinson. Coming from a famous Memphis family that’s known for taking on injustice, a brilliant lawyer named Sydney Strait (McGee) used to work at her father Elijah’s celebrated law firm until their tumultuous relationship got in the way. After barely speaking to Elijah (Smits) for years, Sydney is suddenly thrust back into the family fold when her philanthropist mother passes away unexpectedly. In the wake of the loss of his wife and in hopes of reconnecting with the daughter he loves, Elijah asks Sydney to rejoin his Civil Rights firm and take on a chemical company whose product may cause cancer. Despite her lingering resentment and distrust, she agrees because she knows that working alongside her father is her best hope at changing the world — as long as they can find a way to get along. No sooner has Sydney returned than she stumbles on a secret that Elijah has been keeping from her that may change everything.

What do you think? Do you like the Bluff City Law TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*6/16/20 update: Bluff City Law has been cancelled by NBC so, there won’t be a second season.
Great show, so I have no idea why this show would be canceled. If NBC cancels, I hope another network picks it up. There are some pretty stupid shows that have been on TV and survived and they want to cancel a good show. Better advertisement may draw more watchers. Don’t cancel, we want more.
I was very upset when I saw Bluff City Law might not come back but I really want the show to return because I like all the actors and actresses in the show and I have enjoyed every story line that has been shown. I really cried of the finale tonight because of George and how the actor Barry Sloane will handle the loss. Please BRING Bluff City Law back PLEASE!!!!!!
Please keep Bluff City Law I look forward to every episode
I was very disappointed to hear that Bluff City Law was most likely going to bec canceled after tonights season finale ! I have really enjoyed watching the show and was looking forward to it coming back on in January . It’s just not right to cancel it , after the way it ended tonight ! Please bring it back for a second season !
I love Bluff City Law, the characters and story lines. It is one of the best shows on TV. Monday nights are no longer boring, until Bluff City aired. It’s a great show! Maybe if you moved it to an earlier time slot more people would watch! Give this show a chance. Please!
I really enjoy watching Bluff City Law. I love the characters and most of the story lines. I would be very disappointed to see the series cancelled.
Bluff City Law is a wonderful show. Brilliantly cast, written, produced and directed. It just works!

Bluff City Law better show than most. Great cast. Timely and interesting subjects. Keep it on the air!!
Please keep Bluff City Law! Love this show!
Bluff City law is one of the best shows on TV. Jimmy Smits is a renowned actor and he brings his skills to the show. The cast are all very likable and each are excellent in their part. The filming in Memphis is unique and enjoyable. It’s time for us to see something different than the cookie-cutter norm, and Bluff City Law is that something different.
I love bluff city law-please keep it!!!!
BCL is by far highly wanted in the Midsouth area. We Southern and folks don’t get the proper attention as they do in other areas of the country. Let’s do a second season and go from there. THANKS
Please keep Bluff City Law. I look forward to watching this show every week. GREAT SHOW DON’T CANCEL IT.
I absolutely love Bluff City Law please give it a chance it is an amazing show I look forward every week to it maybe if the time slot was changed it would do much better
