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’m so tired of networks cancelling shows before they even have a chance. Only 2 episodes? Come on. That’s nuts.
That’s so sad !!! It was a GREAT show !! Goodness…. give it a chance !!!
It’s nice when awful shows get cancelled…but after TWO episodes! Sweet!
I really liked the show. It was a refreshing and different premise than most lawyer shows. Please don’t leave us hanging. I want to know how it ends.
I found DOUBT very engaging and interesting and was pleased to see such a variety of characters and points of view.There was humor but also our respective the viewers intelligence after two viewings I think it is very unfair to cancel. Please rethink your actions !!
I liked it. Can’t believed it was cancelled
I really enjoyed this show & upset it has been cancelled. Please reconsider!
I loved the show and so did my daughter! (I am 53, my daughter is 25). We have not liked Katherine Heigl too much in the past but now we love “Sadie.” She is doing a beautiful job of mixing professional lawyer but vulnerable, slightly frazzled woman. So believable! And Dule Hill is NOT the guy on Psych anymore. WOOH! We love him even MORE than ever! The diversity of characters was wonderfully IGNORED! People are just people with stories and hearts. And three times in the second episode I was filled up with tears. ALREADY! The different story lines… Read more »
I loved this show found it very entertaining am sooo disappointed!!! If the time slot didn’t fit…change it around great show!!!!very sad!
Bring it back please.
I like the show and want to see more episodes. Don’t cancel please.
First new show I have liked in a while. Very disappointing that CBS would pull it. I just watched the 1st 2 episodes on Demand and was looking forward to some decent TV on Wed night.
Give the show a chance. You have to watch at least three shows to get all the back stories and secondary characters history. I enjoyed the show and want it to continue. CBS give it a chance – make it a summer replacement.
I like it and want to see more episodes!
I love the shows on CBS but am very disappointed in DOUBT being cancelled. I thought it was quite good – such good actors on one TV show. CBS needs to give shows more than 2 airings!
