As expected, USA Network has cancelled Common Law after one season and 12 episodes. There won’t be a second season.
Common Law revolves around a pair of LAPD detectives who successfully solve crimes together but can’t stand each other. As a result, their boss sentences them to attend couples therapy. The cast includes Warren Kole, Michael Ealy, Jack McGee, Sonya Walger, Elizabeth Chomko, Alicia Coppola, Nora Zehetner, and Reed Diamond.
The series debuted on May 11th and ran on Friday nights through August 10th. The ratings were poor from the start, even by the cable channel’s standards. The season averaged a 0.6 demo rating with 2.12 million viewers.
In September, it was rumored that Common Law was essentially cancelled. The showrunner had taken a job on CBS’ Elementary and the cast’s contracts had all expired. Word was that the sets had already been dismantled as well.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that there won’t be a second season for Common Law?

What I find sad is that, given the chance, this show would have gained popularity over time but the media, like our culture, is too impatient to wait the time required of any new show to make a name for itself. Thumbs down to the producers who were blind… Read more »
thats mean comon law is the only show i watched in usa guesse i wont be watching usa no more, you guys suck for canceling comon law.
Why do they keep the boring shows and cancel the interesting ones. What determines that an entertaining show goes off the air. Nobody asked me! The premise was different. Maybe that was the problem. It wasn’t a cookie cutter copy.
i hae that you cancelled common law iwatched every single episode i dont think im going watch usa again
A funny and entertaining show to watch, my son and I enjoyed watching Common Law every week it was on! It sucks that it will not be returning. Yet, networks keep trashing the air waves with stupid reality shows!
Why do so many good shows get cancelled?! This is a lot of fun to watch,and would have developed an audience.
My sister and I really liked this show, if people knew that there might not have been a second season then the show should have ended better.
I can not beleive that Common Law will not be returning. Enjoyed the show very much especially the cemestry between Warren and Michael and the rest of the cast. All GREAT shows are taken off the air.
Common Law was a great show!!
Just found out Common Law has been canceled. Can’t believe it…….why are the good shows canceled and yet other stupid reality, etc shows they keep. Common Law was a good show with it’s humor and good story line. Looked forward to watching it every week.
I just heard that this show was cancelled. My wife and I were looking forward to watching the 2nd season. The shows that stay on like honey boo boo and sime of these other stupid reality shows are just that stupid. Common Law had great story and great acting. Bring it back!
