CBS is taking this Bull by the horns. The network just announced they’ve renewed the TV show for a fourth season amid controversy over star Michael Weatherly.
The legal centers on the brash and charming Doctor Jason Bull (Weatherly), who combines psychology, human intuition, and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. The cast also includes Freddy Rodriguez, Geneva Carr, and Jaime Lee Kirchner.
It’s a little surprising that CBS has ordered another season of Bull. First of all, the show’s third season has dropped significantly in the ratings, going from 1.19 rating in the 18-49 demo during season two to only .75 this season with 6.686 million viewers. Compare this figure to season two’s 10.618 million viewers.
Additionally, the series is currently plagued by controversy. Deadline reports Steven Spielberg’s production company Amblin Television has left Bull because of recent sexual harassment allegations made against star Michael Weatherly.
Nevertheless, CBS has decided to pick up Bull for the 2019-20 season.

What do you think? Do you watch Bull? Will you watch season four?
I plan my week to watch “Bull”, one of the most intelligent programs on TV. Fabulous writing and acting with unexpected twists — all relevant today. Bravo!
I love to watch Bull. It is one of my favorite TV shows. I am very glad it was renewed.
We love Bull in our home. One of our very favorites. We look forward to it every week. The writing, the cast, the whole package is awesome. One of the best shows on tv. Michael Wetherly is wonderful. So thankful it was renewed.
SO glad this show was renewed. Love Bull and all the actors on this program. There are some personal problems going on but the show shouldn’t be involved on the basis of the show. So many allegations going on in this world….
I will definitely watch. I love the show and love all the chat. Especially R. bull. Best show ever.
Love this show. It’s prerecorded for the season on my DVR. So happy it has been renewed.
Yes! There’s only one “Bull” in my barn!
One of our favorite TV shows in our house here in Honolulu. We’ve never missed an episode, and we pre-program it to record in the unlikely event we’re not able to tune in. Love Jason Bull and love Michael Weatherly and his cast. SO GLAD it’s renewed !!!!
Watched for two seasons then just lost interest.
I really enjoy watching Michael Weatherly in this and his former show NCIS. Will continue watching many years in the future
Yea—can’t forget NCIS! Hasn’t been the same since he left! But he’s matured now and suits the role of Jason Bull perfectly!
Yes, my wife and I enjoy watching Bull, I had always enjoyed Michael Weatherly on NCIS also, if you want the ratings to improve, put it back on between NCIS and NCIS New Orleans. You will see that it will regain its ratings as it did before you put it on Monday night. Even the 9 pm eastern/ 8 pm central slot would help in the ratings. I’m sure The Code will hold is own get ratings. Even NCIS LA suffers from being on a bad TV watching night plus the CBS sports events of the day time shift it… Read more »
I watched the first two episodes of season one, it was dreadful.
Evedently you don’t know a good show, the strategy is the key to this show.
BOOO!!!
I will still watch!
Best show on television. I hope it runs for many more years.
Very pleased that CBS finally grew a pair and renewed BULL. It is well written and well acted–unlike a lot of other scripted series.
