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?
Two weeks ago, I asked everyone who had made positive comments on TV Series Finale to write a favorable review on cbs.com but saw no increase in comments on that website. Writing our comments to TV Series Finale makes no sense because it cannot influence the decision-making process. Only viewers can!! Change.org is now disseminating a petition for all of us to sign. PLEASE GO TO CBS.ORG AND READ THE PETITION AND SIGN!!!
Here’s the link for CBS.

well slewpo, I did as you said. I hope it helps. BTW, I tried to copy and paste my comment into this section, but for some reason it won’t allow it to do it on my phone. This one season and gone thing is really starting to kill me !
Thanks William. Don’t forget to sign the petition on Change.Org.
Slewpo, I think it would be easier to get the winning Powerball number, than trying to find the Restless site for petition on change. Org. I spent 20 minutes on the site I couldn’t find anything. I did however, sign the petition to make the NFL nonprofit!
Could someone please post a link to the change.org petition to save RECKLESS?
sorry, I do text to speech. When I said reckless, somehow it came out Restless. The rest of it still goes though, I couldn’t find anything. But I do ask everyone to sign the petition to remove the NFL as a nonprofit! 10 billion/year… Are you kidding me! 44 million dollars per year Godell(sp), this is just out of control.
William, what does “text to speech” mean?
handwriting was on the wall. too bad! i won’t look at cbs again!
Don’t cancel this show. We enjoyed every minute of it. We love thisshow.
Bringback Reckless next summer.
Shouldn’t have been canceled!! Too many good shows are not given a chance!! This show was during summer, people go on vacation!!!! Don’t run good shows during the summer and then cancel them because of low in ratings
What a total shame. I really enjoyed that show and was anticipating its return. I do hope that CBS reconsiders their decision and gives it another chance, but I guess a great cast, terrific setting, good storyline and entertaining aren’t good enough. Really, really sad.
Hendrika–the only reason why cbs would reconsider its decision is if you and thousands of others sign the petition on change.org. Please provide your support!!

You’ve got to be kidding me, they kept The Dome, which is getting so tired, and they cancelled Reckless. Networks just don’t program for a varied audience, just reality, plus junk.
Barlow–Please sign the petition on Change.Org.
Stupid! I liked this series so much. Why do they always have to cancel the good shows. Not so many people watched it, because they we’re on vacation, duh!
Why did they have to cancel it, it is too bad. I am going to miss it! 🙁
Great writers cast and crew. Especially Anna and Cam. Great chemistry. Beautiful scenery and fantastic storyline. I will miss watching.
Come on CBS! You’re cancelling one of the few great shows you had in the summer. I loved this one. Great story, great cast… what more do you want? Yet you kept Extant … ugh! And that disgusting 2 1/2 men for yrs!! Please reconsider your terrible decision and give it another chance.
Oh well what do expect from the Confused Broadcasting System programs we all like very much or what? So I know CBS is trying to out do both The ABC Mickey Mouse Disney Network that also cancels great TV Shows like “Killer Women” that starred a Hot Sexy Female Texas Ranger Molly and a great supporting cast and FOX TV renewing that dopey “Under The Dome” La La Land TV Series now then? And that alone proves the Major TV Networks Suck this Season! Come bring back Dallas,Killer Women and destroy
Under the Dome!….
I have just stumbled upon Reckless (online as I am in Australia) and I love it!!! I really do hope that the network rethinks it’s position on a second season. I truly believe that a series needs at least two seasons for fans to jump on board. I for one would love to buy the series on dvd for my rewatching pleasure. Perhaps the network should look at how it promoted the series and what time slot it aired it in. I have given up on watching television and only watch online or dvd. The networks are not loyal to… Read more »
The show may have had a slow start but has all the right things to make it a success. A wonderful cast, finally a different location with beautiful history and old school politics muddled with corruption. There is great chemistry between the main characters and if that was brought forth sooner the viewers would have definitely latched on. The viewers didn’t have a main couple to root for and tune into each week. The first season set up a show that could have had an amazing second season and finally a love between two people that aren’t corrupt that the… Read more »
Oh Man! I can’t believe it’s cancelled!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!! I hope it can come back!!
Please don’t cancel. One of the best shows on TV as far as I’m concerned! Want to see season 2!
I really think cbs is making a big mistake about canceling reckless it was a very enjoyable show to watch ,they kept extant which I think was terrible and didn’t enjoy at all I thought it would have been canceled.they keep all reality shows ugh. I am very disappointed with cbs!!!
Noooooooooo! Don’t cancel. I was so looking forward to season 2!
