NBC is done with this case. The network has cancelled the Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector TV show so it won’t be returning for a second season.
Based on the novel The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver, the drama series brings former NYPD detective and forensic genius Lincoln Rhyme (Russell Hornsby) out of retirement to hunt for an enigmatic serial killer who left him paralyzed. The cast also includes Arielle Kebbel, Brían F. O’Byrne, Tate Ellington, Courtney Grosbeck, Ramses Jimenez, Brooke Lyons, Roslyn Ruff, and Michael Imperioli.
Airing on Friday nights, the first season of Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector averaged a 0.47 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.66 million viewers.
While the show’s ratings were quite low, even for a Friday night show, it wasn’t NBC’s lowest-rated scripted series. Of the network’s shows for the 2019-20 season, Lincoln Rhyme ranked 14th out of 19 scripted series. Fellow first-year NBC shows Perfect Harmony and Sunnyside have also been cancelled.
What do you think? Have you seen Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector? Would you have watched season two on NBC?
Why doesn’t it surprised me?! I don’t know why they keep canceling great shows but keep terrible shows instead.
Typical everytime there’s a good series on tv , it gets cancelled. Lincoln Rhyme was brilliant
My partner and I watched every episode religiously every week, we looked forward to bring enthralled by the accuracy, the acting and the exciting story lines. We would definitely have watched a series 2, we live in England so our views probly don’t count though unfortunately. The writers actors and producers should be proud of what they achieved with this series.
It would have been well nigh impossible to have a credible second series when the character in the title (i.e. The Bone Collector) was filmed confessing then arrested in the final show. The ending – when a mysterious package arrived in a bar and a mobile phone rang as the main characters were paying honage to a fallen colleague was ridiculous – saying he was the bone collector!
I loved series 1 of Lincoln Rhyme. It was brilliant. It makes you wonder why you watch new shows because they just get cancelled bring back Lincon Rhyme
I have really enjoyed series 1 of Lincoln Rhyme. It is so disappointing when they keep cancelling shows all the time. It makes you not want to watch any more news shows. They should renew it. It had a great cast and the the story line was brilliant. Sick off watching the same boring shows every year.
Seems like every time I find a new show that is extremely well written and performed, the networks cancel them. So sick of the majority of folks not wanting to watch anything by mindless tripe, and then networks cancelling them. Bring back Lincoln Rhyme!
Seems like every time the networks product an excellent, intellectual series, it gets cancelled. So sick of the mindless tripe they retain. Bring back Lincoln Rhyme.
I loved that show. Very disappointed that it is cancelled
omg im so upset! i loved this show. i cant believe it got cancelled with the cliffhanger ending to season 1
Very disappointing. It was a show that both my millennial son and I liked.
What a waste. I love this show, the cast and the stories. I would really like to see networks give shows more than one 10 episode season to catch on.
Say it isn’t so, I loved this show
I’m sorry to see that this show has been cancelled. Seems like that always happens to a show when I like it a lot.
Exactly. Seems like no one wants to watch a show with brains. Tired of the tripe they retain.
I loved this show. Sorry to see it cancelled. Hopefully it comes back somewhere else.
