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?
The show was very interesting. I thought the actors had a very strong cohesive quality. I liked the idea of have a main plot and then having other sub-plots with the supporting case. With all the garbage on TV and legal themed programs like Law and Order now history that CBS pulled the cancel trigger far too fast!
I just watched both episodes on the CBS app and I thought the show was great!!
I then realized that the 2nd show aired in February and had to Google it, only to find the show had been canceled. I hope CBS will reconsider or allow another network to pick up the series and air it.
I liked this show and the characters .I can’t believe it’s been canceled
Looking forward to it and now I know why I cannot find it…..Why are shows with strong women not popular??? I agree with Paula please post when and where the unaired is playing and I will watch.
I liked it…fast paced..was looking for the next episode and gets cancelled? The networks keep the stupid reality shows on though.
Yes, I would watch all episodes, it was a good show! The powers that be always do this, I like something, but their numbers are not good so they give up. Give a show a chance to get people hooked, and back it up with more promotional information.
THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH INFO ON THE SERIES BEFORE IT STARTED. I MISSED EP 1 BUT WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THE NEXT EP AFTER SEEING EP 2. I WENT ALL THRU THE SCHEDULE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT EP AND FINALLY WENT TO THIS WEB SITE TO LEARN IT HAD BEEN CANCELLED. PLEASE POST WHEN & WHERE THE UN-AIRED EP’S CAN BE VIEWED. I WATCH A LOT OF TV SERIES ON CBS. A DISAPPOINTED VIEWER. PAULA
I wish you guys would’ve given this show a fighting chance. First, you put The Good Fight on All Access, then you cancelled Doubt because of the younger crowd. I’m 52 and love to watch TV while the youngsters are out and about. Please put Doubt back on. Please
The show Doubt is a great show!!! Please put on the 11 shows that has been taped!!
I loved the show. Love Kathryn heigl and dule hill. Hate to see it cancelled
I loved it sorry it’s been pulled… not happy
Bummer. I liked the show. Hope they air the season at some point.
I thought this was a good show, plus I like K.Heigl and I know other people do too. Is this a bunch of 20 year olds making this decision? You need to give shows a chance. There’s no set formula for success.
I’m truly bummed! They shouldn’t of canceled it so quickly. I really like that show!
