We finally have some news about the fate of Fairly Legal — and it’s not good. It’s being reported that the USA Networks TV series has been cancelled after two seasons on the air.
Fairly Legal revolves around a young female lawyer (Sarah Shahi) who changes her profession to become a mediator at the law firm that her father founded. The cast also includes Michael Trucco, Virginia Williams, Baron Vaughn, and Ryan Johnson.
The first season registered lackluster ratings — a 0.9 demo rating and 3.55 million total viewers — so USA decided to revamp the show when they gave it a renewal.
Despite some cast changes and a new showrunner, Fairly Legal did even worse in its second season, garnering a 0.6 rating with 2.74 million viewers.
Shahi has been booked on NBC’s struggling Chicago Fire. In a statement to Deadline, USA said, “Sarah Shahi is undoubtedly a star and we’re thrilled she’ll be joining our sister network NBC on Chicago Fire… We are proud of Fairly Legal and thank the very talented cast and crew for two fantastic seasons.”
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Fairly Legal has been cancelled? Did you like season one or season two better?

Don’t remember myself being so frustrated because of the TV show being canceled. That’s exactly what I was looking for so hard and I am terribly intrigued. Please move on.

I love this show, i’m french and i just want more Kate, Ben or Justin!
I watched the show when it was on the air and I totally loved it. I was really disappointed when they canceled it. I wish they would bring it back.
I loved this show…finished watching all episodes. Disappointed that it was cancelled. Bring on season 3…
I’m italian, I didn’t see the first season but I just finished to see the second! It was fantastic!! I loved everyone characters and actors (above all Kate and Ben)!! I’m very sad for this news!!
Am very sad; as one working in the legal industry, I looked forward to every episode; I felt the chemistry was great but really was upset when they left us hanging with that ending!!
This show was just fantastic and the actors were so believable and they knew their stuff. I always watched and waited for the next show then the ax, really did not want that,sad…
I looked forward to this show EVERY week. I just Love Sarah Shahi. She is sooooooooo cute, driven, dynamic, spunky and has a special and unique sense of right and not so right. Just to add a different comment. II feel she is completely awesome in Person of Interest. She kicks butt in both programs. One in Court, one out of court. I just think she is a great actress and adorable doing it.
No!!! I loved this show. Anything law related is great but Kate’s zany personality really made this show fun. I’ll miss it.
I am so sad
I really loved this show and I was wattling for season 3 am not happy for the bad news of no season 3
I watched every episode of Fairly Legal. I actually liked the basic concept but felt that the scriptwriters needed to write a few “crew shows” and then get back to their real job.
I also felt there was an important societal massage lost in the void left by cancellation.
If it returned, I’d watch it again.
Am so upset, agree with most of the others everything is fake reality tv. This show was good I was waiting for the new series, and really wanted to watch it.
Looking all over for when Fairly Legal was coming back on. Disappointed its been cancelled. Watch a lot on USA but they messed up on this cancellation.
