What’s This TV Show About?
A CW legal drama from creator Brad Simpson, Burden of Truth stars Kristin Kreuk, Peter Mooney, Star Slade, Meegwun Fairbrother, Anwen O’Driscoll, Sara Thompson, Michelle Nolden, and Varun Saranga. The series centers on attorney Joanna Hanley (Kreuk), who walked away from her partnership at a corporate law firm in order to figure out why a mysterious illness was afflicting high school girls in her home town of Millwood, Manitoba. By the end of season one, Joanna was estranged from her dad and changed her last name to Chang — her mother’s maiden name. In season two, she has joined a Winnipeg firm, where a new client involves her in a case full of political and cyber intrigue.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Burden of Truth averaged a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 478,000 viewers. Compared to the first season, that’s down by 42% and 34%, respectively. Learn how Burden of Truth stacks up against the other CW TV shows.
Burden of Truth has been renewed for a third season which will debut May 21, 2020. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Since you don’t have to worry whether The CW will cancel or renew Burden of Truth for season three, just sit back and enjoy the drama. The series originates on CBC in Canada, so the price must be right for the network to pick up a third season before season two debuted. The early renewal was something of a surprise, since last year’s Nielsen ratings in the US were low, even for a CW summer series. Though it has already been renewed for a third season, I’ll still update this page as the season progresses, so subscribe for free Burden of Truth cancellation or renewal alerts.
