The CW will not run a new episode of the Lovers and Liars series next Thursday. Instead, the network will air a rerun of Police 24/7 and has apparently pulled the show ahead of its season finale.
Hosted by Nikki Glaser, the dating competition series was initially titled FGirl Island and is a spin-off of FBoy Island, which had an unsuccessful run on the network. The show follows three of the latter’s former contestants, Benedict Polizzi, CJ Weathers, and Casey Johnson, as they look for a serious relationship. The men and 24 women are relocated to a tropical locale. Half of the women want to make a genuine connection, but the other half are just there to deceive the men, stick around until the end, and win the cold, hard cash. At the end of the season, each male will choose one of the females. If they have a genuine romantic connection, they split a $100,000 prize. If the female was just in it for the money, she takes home the cash prize all for herself.
The CW revealed next Thursday’s schedule in a press release.
An encore episode of POLICE 24/7 will air Thursday, May 30 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET)
THURSDAY, MAY 30
POLICE 24/7
“The Chase” – (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)
Suspects lead police on a car chase then a foot chase through houses, Officers apply first aid to a gunshot victim and arrest his roommate; Officers confront a man about domestic violence against his girlfriend (#102). The original airdate was 5/7/2024.
The details for the Lovers and Liars finale were previously released by The CW.
“Failure Swift” (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, DL) (HDTV) Forced to share the men with their competition on group dates, tensions between the ladies reach an all-time high! Nikki Glaser surprises with a riveting performance. Tough choices are made and the men shock everyone with their final eliminations (108).
Lovers and Liars is one of the network’s lowest-rated shows of the season, and Police 24/7 is one of the highest, so the network will likely get better ratings with this move. However, pulling a show so close to the end of the season seems unnecessary.
It’s possible that the network could still air next week’s episode at some point in the future, but that seems unlikely. According to the network’s site, the remaining episode will still be released online on May 30th.
Update: The CW released the final three episodes of the season online.
What do you think? Have you been keeping up with Lovers and Liars? Are you disappointed the network has pulled the series so close to the end of the season?
I was extremely invested and excited to discover how the end of the show ended up very disappointed that I am now left hanging so close to the end. Not a happy follower
Like we need another show following police around abusing American’s civil liberties. Bring back the good tuff. Mindless garbage. I love the show.
Yup, I’m POed… until I found out that they dropped episode #8, #9, and #10 on the CW App, so make sure you download that app, watch the final episodes, then you can boycott CW next season, like I plan to do!
Yes I’m PO’d and I’m not intended on watching any CW next season bc all these networks do not want to stand behind their shows. I’m looking at you, CBS as well, how rude of you for what you did to SO HELP ME TODD!
I really don’t understand why you would not have the finale of this show…totally a stupid move…wth!
WOW I can hardly believe this THE CW is actually dumping LUST AND CAN NOT TELL THE TRUH OH SORRY I MEAN ( Lovers and Liars ) ???? Shows like his should not even be thought of much less shown on TV but everyone is initialed to mess up and the CW is doing a lot of that by dropping good shows and showing this kind of shows as well as CBS is doing ??? I am so happy kids do not have to see and hear the things shown and said on these kinds of shows for not everyone… Read more »
I’d prefer the CW not yank a low rated series when it was so near culmination. The hippie movement/culture and rally cries of sex, drugs,& rock n roll; tune in, turn on, tune out; don’t bathe or shave and let it all hang out was a gross time to go through puberty and young adulthood than what Lovers and Liars presented as current culture. It was refreshing to see the young females in the series exuded confidence past generations were taught to stymie, suppress because it was an unattractive trait to males. Only agree that females will benefit if they… Read more »
