Josh Holloway enjoyed a long run on Lost but unfortunately he hasn’t been as lucky with Intelligence. The CBS TV show has now been cancelled after one season of 13 episodes.
On Intelligence, Gabriel Vaughn (Holloway) is a high-tech intelligence operative who’s been enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain. It allows him to be connected directly into the global information grid. Other castmembers include Marg Helgenberger, Meghan Ory, Michael Rady, John Billingsley, P. J. Byrne, Tomas Arana, Lance Reddick, and Peter Coyote.
After the failure of Hostages, the network was hoping for Intelligence to be a ratings hit to fill their Mondays at 10pm timeslot. It wasn’t to be. Despite some impressive star talent and special effects, the show couldn’t draw enough viewers.
The network debuted it after NCIS on a Tuesday night and the show drew decent numbers but, once it moved to its regular Monday night slot, the ratings tanked. The season of 13 episodes averaged a 1.3 demo rating with 6.85 million viewer, making it one of the lowest-rated shows on the network.
That wasn’t good enough to mandate a second season renewal so Intelligence has been cancelled. The final episode aired on March 31st.
What do you think? Did you like this Josh Holloway series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think it didn’t catch on?
Only now finished watching the first season. It was a brilliant series and it ended with so many lose ends. Making a second season (and perhaps rethinking its timeslot) seems imperative. Please bring Intelligence back for at least one more season!
I cant imagine cancelling the series;
was searching for the next series, please bring it on
Me and my husband loved this show . I think the time slot was the problem not the show itself. PLEASE bring it back !!!!!!
This show honestly is one of the coolest shows out there, it reminded me on The Listener and it also reminds me of Scorpion, which are two great shows. I really hope they decide to bring it back, just because the first season did bad doesn’t mean the rest wont get more views. It takes time for a new series to reach more viewers.
Intelligence was the only time our family was hanging out together D:
No jk but still…
BRING IT BACK
Just watched on Amazon prime. Brilliant program, need a season 2…..pretty please.

I NEED ANOTHER SEASON…..ONE MORE
Just finished watching series 1 ob amazon. Loved it. Please bring series 2.
i really loved the 1st series. i was searching for the 2nd series but later got to know it was cancelled. please air the 2nd series.
Why do you cancel series that is really good and stuff that’s not nice you keep. So wrong, don’t understand the logic behind this. Intelligence was excellent, so was Rush and no season 2 for either of them. That is just bad business.
Loved 24, Scorpion, the Last Ship. Depressing that Intelligence wasn’t renewed for second season. Non-stop action show. Great story lines and great acting. Much more meaningful than the Mentalist.
Many of major success stories in TV were not major success in their first series so it was a mistake to cancel this after just the first series.
The people who cancelled it don’t deserve to be in the TV Series industry for giving up after one series. Intelligence was brilliant and it had the potential to be right at the top with the others. they shouldn’t have cancelled the show after one series. this was a very bad decision by someone or some people who don’t have an eye for something that could potentially be a topseller
