Well, that was quick. After just two weeks, CBS has pulled their new Doubt TV show from the Wednesday schedule. Has the series been cancelled? Will it be back?
The Doubt TV show stars Katherine Heigl as Sadie Ellis; Elliot Gould as Isaiah Roth; Laverne Cox as Cameron Wirth; Dreama Walker as Tiffany Simon; and Kobi Libii as Nick Brady. Sadie is a brilliant attorney who starts to fall for her charismatic client. Pediatric surgeon Billy Brennan (Steven Pasquale) was recently accused of murdering his girlfriend, 24 years ago. Sadie has to hide her growing feelings from everyone, including her close friend and colleague, Albert Cobb (Dulé Hill). Getting involved with her client could put Sadie’s career and happiness at risk — particularly if Billy is found guilty. She must work all the harder to prove reasonable doubt, even while she has some doubts of her own.
When the series debuted two weeks ago, there was no “doubt” that the new CBS drama series was already in trouble. The premiere attracted a meager 0.76 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.31 million viewers. This week’s installment drew a 0.60 rating with 4.03 million. Those figures are just too low for “the most-watched network” and CBS has now pulled Doubt from the schedule.
On March 1st, Doubt will be replaced by a rerun of Bull and, on March 8th, CBS will launch the second season of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. While CBS has not officially cancelled Doubt, there’s no chance that they’ll be renewing it for a second season.
The network ordered 13 episodes of Doubt and all of them have reportedly been completed. Prior to the series being pulled, CBS had only scheduled four more installments of Doubt. In the past, CBS has burned off leftover episodes of cancelled series on Saturday nights over the summer months.
What do you think? Do you like the Doubt TV show? Do you think that CBS should cancel the series? Would you watch the remaining episodes?
I can’t believe CBS cancelled this show after only 2 episodes! Ridiculous! Please reconsider this decision!
I WANT IT BACK, 2 WEEKS?, PLEASE IT IS BETTER THEN THAT
I don’t know why CBS canceled Doubt after only 2 episodes?! I feel like it would have only been fair to run the full. first season, before cancelling & give viewers a chance to discover it! I enjoyed the show very much and began telling people about it after seeing it on CBS access, only to find out there were no more episodes. The cast was excellent, the storyline intriguing , entertaining. smart and funny as well. With so little worth watching that is even a little bit different & entertaining – this was a welcome relief and pft- then… Read more »
I really wish CBS hadn’t cancelled the show! I really liked it. I’m getting tired of this happening, they come up with shows that I get hooked on then cancel them before we know what’s the end result. It’s getting annoying, I may just drop cable all together and watch Netflix. At least tell us if he did it or not jeez!!!!
I liked the show at least put it on Netflix or tell us if he did it or not. I hate when you leave people hanging when a series is cancelled.
Both my husband and I loved the show I would at least like CBS to air the remaining 11 shows and not leave us up in the air as to whether the doctor is guilty or not.
Had the first two episodes taped. Just watched and loved the show. Can’t believe CBS cancelled!!! Not happy.
I really enjoyed this show ….looked for it for two weeks and finally looked it up to see it was cancelled. So disappointed Network TV is just awful. Now I set Comcast dropped CBS
Yes I would watch the remaining episodes of Doubt if CBS aired them during the summer or Saturday night.
We were really disappointed when CBS cancelled Doubt. It seemed like a promising series that had the possibility of interesting story lines and character development. The cast was terrific. It’s too bad CBS didn’t give this new series a chance. Another rehash of Criminal Minds is just more same old same old and we’re bored with it. What a shame.
I am shocked. I loved the show. I caught up with it on demand. This is a huge mistake. Such great acting. I went to look for it tonight. Judith Light come on.
So tired of watching network tv just to have shows pulled after a few episodes. THey did this to Katherine’s other show.
I liked the show.
I totally agree!!
I loved the show and was looking for it the past couple weeks. I can;t believe CBS yanked it off the schedule after just 2 episodes. Will definitely watch again
I loved the show. I believe that CBS should give it another shot. Maybe a new night and time slot will help. I thought Doubt was the best new show that CBS has had in a long time.
I loved the show. It was bright with an amazing cast. I would definitely watch any remaining episodes. This is tv at its best not reality that has no beginning or end, Doubt told a story
I loved the show and would watch the remaining episodes.
