Telly’s Take

Will The CW cancel or renew Burden of Truth for season two? The series comes from Canada and has already been renewed for a second season of eight episodes there. It seems likely that The CW will air them next year but, given the lousy numbers, there are no guarantees. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
