Although there was never really any doubt, CBS has officially cancelled its Doubt TV show. There will be no second season of the legal drama, which went unmentioned (as expected), when CBS announced its schedule for the 2017-18 television season.
Starring Katherine Heigl as attorney Sadie Ellis, Doubt premiered in February to particularly low ratings for a new CBS drama, and was quickly pulled after just two episodes aired. The CBS TV series also starred Dulé Hill as Albert Cobb, Elliot Gould as Isaiah Roth; Laverne Cox as Cameron Wirth; Dreama Walker as Tiffany Simon; Kobi Libii as Nick Brady; and Steven Pasquale as Dr. Billy Brennan.
Doubt: A Look at the Ratings
The Doubt TV series premiere garnered a mere 0.76 rating in the 18-49 demographic and drew only 5.31 million viewers. This second episode drew a 0.60 and 4.03 million, respectively. Overall, the first season of Doubt averaged a 0.68 rating in the demo and an average audience of 4.67 million. Those numbers just don’t stack up against the other CBS TV shows.
Doubt: Will CBS Air All of Season One?
So far, CBS has not said if they would burn off the remaining episodes this summer. Only the first two are currently available for viewing on CBS.com. If the network announces it will run the rest of the 13 episodes which make up the first season, we will let you know.
About Doubt
The first season of this TV show drama centers on Sadie, a gifted lawyer. She represents pediatric surgeon Billy Brennan, who was recently accused of murdering his girlfriend, 24 years ago. Sadie develops feelings for him and has to hide them from everyone, including her close friend and colleague, Albert Cobb.
Getting involved with Billy could jeopardize Sadie’s career and happiness, particularly if he is guilty. She must work all the harder to prove reasonable doubt, even while she has some doubts of her own.
What do you think? Did you watch the first two episodes of Doubt? Do you think CBS should have given it more than two episodes, before cancelling it
bring the show back please.
Clearly someone made a hasty decision BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really rotten to leave us with this cliffhanger! I actually enjoyed the show and felt CBS was premature in cancelling it so quickly.
Very poor decision to cancel this show and how disrespectful to do it when viewers were waiting to see if Billy would face justice when Sadie learned of the scam Billy pulled offering his blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok if you want to cancel but unfair to not have a final show to tell us if he was found guilty. Shame on CBS!
REALLY liked the show -took me 2 weeks to get into it!!!! Wish there were plans for another season!!!
I’m so sad- I really liked this show. I thought the acting was really good- and the characters were developed well. It was original.
I hope someone reconsiders and puts it on a better night. Each episode got better and better!!!
Bring Doubt back. Really enjoyed it and we were left hanging at the end. Great show
We really liked Doubt! Why cancel it for a game show? Bring Doubt back! Get rid of candy crush!
I don’t know why you cancelled this series! Seems like every time you have a good drama, you cancel it and put junk like candy crush on! Bring Doubt back!!!!!
Really enjoyed this show! Don’t understand why they would not do another season. I would really like a second season.
Please bring it back my husband and I was neck and ears, so good.
Please air a season two. I was neck and ears in it.
I love Doubt… Please reconsider a second season. I watched the first season on Catch UpUp every week
Bring it back!!!!!!!!
Sure hope there is a season two, they left us with a really big cliffhanger?????
