Legal and crime dramas are a big part of the CBS schedule during the year. This summer, the network started airing another one — Reckless. Has this new TV show been a ratings success? Will it be renewed for a second season or, will it be cancelled instead?
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. That was a very poor start for a scripted series — even one that airs during the summer months when expectations are lower.
Reckless’ ratings have held fairly steady and have even seen some slight improvements at times. That’s positive but the series is still the network’s lowest-rated summer series — by far. With such low ratings, it’s hard to imagine that CBS will consider renewing Reckless for a second season.
For now, CBS has only scheduled 10 of the 13 episodes. Hopefully for the loyal fans, all of the episodes will air and the series will have a satisfying conclusion.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Reckless series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
10/9 update: CBS has cancelled Reckless after one season. Details here.
Keep, one of our faves!!!
CBS. I’ve been looking all over for Reckless and am in shock that you might cancel the show. Reckless is my favorite show and I look forward to seeing it every week. Charleston is an is an excellent place to film this beautifully written courtroom drama. I believe it trumps Good Wife by far and absolutely Deserves a Second Season. Thank you.
Please renew for a second season! I’m sick and tired of starting new shows only to have them get cancelled without the conclusion viewers deserve. It’s all about money money money! God forbid they don’t make their millions in advertisements because ratings are a little lower than some of the other crappy shows out there that are all the same.
PLEASE RENEW. It our favorite show on TV.
Keep this show coming. It was great!
We LOVE this show! We need AT LEAST a second season to see everything come together as it should be!
Love it, please renew
PPPPLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE!!!!!!!!! make a second season of Reckless- fabulous show!!!!!!!!
To CBS, I really enjoy Reckless, its easy to watch not just plain nasty like two broke girls and Two and a Half men, or criminal Minds and stalker teaching how to kill, kidnap and just plain cruel. Reckless is a good show. I have switched to other stations when these other four shows come on. It seames CBS the nastier, and criminally vishous a show is the better. Wonder where some of the crazy nasty people get some of their ideas. Reckless is good and if you cancel maby another station will pick it up.
Please renew reckless!!!!!!
Too many good shows get cancelled because they fly under the radar,
This show is excellent with an amazing cast.
Can’t wait to see more!
