Sorry Reckless fans, there won’t be a second season of the steamy summer legal drama. CBS has cancelled the series after one season of 13 episodes.
Reckless revolves around a beautiful litigator from the north and a charming southern attorney who must hide their intense mutual attraction as a police sex scandal erupts in Charleston, South Carolina. The TV show’s cast includes Cam Gigandet, Anna Wood, Shawn Hatosy, Georgina Haig, Adam Rodríguez, Michael Gladis, Kim Wayans, and Gregory Harrison.
The series debuted in late June to just a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.99 million total viewers. The numbers didn’t get much better over the course of the season and ended up averaging just a 0.6 demo rating with 3.91 million viewers. The network burned off the final episodes on a Saturday night.
What do you think? Did you like the Reckless TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season?
I love this show. Why, why, why? Give it another chance please
I love this TV Series. I’m very disappointed that the show has been cancelled. I’m in Adelaide Australia, so we haven’t seen all of the episodes yet. Just got all my friends interested in it. Very Very disappointed.

Sure sorry to see Reckless was canceled. It was a great relief from all of the reality shows that networks seem to think are so popular. The comedies are far from being funny and the networks have to use laugh tracks to tell people when to laugh. Maybe the network execs aren’t actually watching their own shows. That is the only explanation for canceling good shows and keeping and renewing the shows they believe are popular.
I just now watched the show, and read this comment from back in 2014. A lot of people commented with the same thoughts, so I have to ask….. y’all do know cancellations happen BECAUSE of ratings, right? Networks bring back the same crappy reality type shows, because it’s what the most people watch. Anyway… this comment caught my eye, because the same thing is still happening 5 years later. So called reality crap still fills the airwaves, and shows that many people enjoy, and exercise their minds while viewing don’t seem to catch on with enough people . In some… Read more »
I was an extra in this show. Lot’s of fun to shoot, and I enjoyed the finished product, since we “backgrounders” never knew what was going on.
I love this show…Please tell me it hasn’t been canceled. CBS did not give this show enough time to grow. Please bring Reckless back!!!!!!
How disappointing that Reckless was cancelled. The characters and location were so good and the storyline was gripping. TV shows are a business now and no longer just for entertainment. I thought CBS was smarter than this.
What!?!?! NONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!! Oh well… I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a DVD release of the show so me and my mom can watch it. Or we can find some other way to watch it.
The only surprise here is that this TV show lasted that long.
Good thing Reckless got canceled. Terrible series in more ways than one even though the season finale aired on a Saturday. 🙁
Cancelled? Just when it was getting good? Shame, shame………………
Loved the show, I think they should have re-breed!!!!
Loved this show.. was so in hopes it would be renewed. I missed the first episodes but quickly flipped over this series, once I found it. Promo’s apparently fell short of the mark on this series. Maybe someone will have the good sense to pick this series up and run with it!! I am definitely a committed fan of Reckless who is just not happy right now!!!
That is wrong! Have you not read all the positive comments on the show? What idiot made that decision? Why don’t you take off one of those d____ gay shows instead. You have plenty of those on. And who wants to see that crap!
What gay shows are you talking about on CBS, Billie McNew?
If there were any, I would “want to see that crap.”
Oh no … say it isn’t so. Left too many unanswered questions. Before cancelling shows, the networks should at least think about the loyal fans and give them some closure in the series. At least ABC did finish THE ASSETS although it did take a lot of screaming fans to get their attention. Feel the say way about A&E’s LONGMIRE. Give us the closure we deserve after being loyal fans!!!
Loved this show! Was hoping it’d be renewed. The finale left so many unanswered questions. Not happy about this cancellation news!
Great show. Intriguing. Lots of twists and turns. Love the chemistry between actors. A real who done it. Whoever cancelled this show had no idea how appealing to the viewers. Bring it back!!!
As it turned out there weren’t very many viewers appealed by it. The ratings were dismal… It never caught on with a wide audience.
The thing that most surprised me was the creators didn’t see the cancellation coming in time to change the ending.
I personally was disappointed with how the story played out in the final couple of episodes, anyway. It was made worse when there wasn’t really an ending.
