The Professionals series is an international production that was filmed overseas back in 2020 and was released in various countries over a year ago. Since the drama was produced that long ago, a second season doesn’t seem very likely. But, could positive ratings on The CW improve Professionals’ chances of being renewed? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
An international action drama series, the Professionals TV show stars Tom Welling, Brendan Fraser, Elena Anaya, Ken Duken, Saïd Taghmaoui, Ken Duken, Lisa Loven Kongsli, August Wittgenstein, Stevel Marc, Tanya Van Graan, and Nic Rasenti. In the story, Vincent Corbo (Welling) is a top-tier security operative who is paid to protect the interests of rich and powerful clients by any means necessary — legal or not. After a next-gen medical satellite explodes on launch, Corbo is hired by the rocket’s designer, billionaire futurist Peter Swann (Fraser), who suspects sabotage. Complicating Corbo’s new job is the fact that his former paramour, medical visionary Dr. Grace Davila (Anaya), is now Swann’s fiancée. She’s also racing to help stave off a global catastrophe. As Corbo and his team of veteran security professionals investigate the rocket disaster, they expose a lethal conspiracy of Swann’s corporate rivals, corrupt government officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Professionals TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*6/14/23 update: Professionals has been cancelled by The CW.
Kinda like this show now. Fraser and Wellings are solid . The plots are better so are the characters
I always give a Kristin Kruek or Tom Welling show a chance. But the pilot was very boring.
Just watched episode 2 and it was better. Really established the series and Tom Wellings team role.
Was Brendan Frasier given the stage direction: “make your character as annoying and obnoxious as you can”? If so, he succeeded.
The rest of this? Not too shabby at all. I’ll watch ep #2.
