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.
Love this show! Especially Cam Gigandet and Anna Wood..( or Roy and Jamie..) It’s a great show and more people should know about it…PLEASE renew for several seasons ..I’m sure it’ll become the ‘Hit’ that it is!!
Love the show! You feel for the characters and want them together. Want to see how it turns out for Roy and Jamie in season 2. Please renew!
Loved it please do NOT cancel!

Great show. Please bring it back. My husband loves it too!!
I loved the show..really hope it returns.”.love the story line, characters and the setting for the show.. My husband loves it too.
Please don’t cancel Reckless–it has real potential and we love it.
Love the show. Keep it on!
I only saw the series starting Sept. 13 & 14. Love the show. Pls do not cancel. It needs more advertising 4 people to find out about it. It is a great show. I hope it stays on. Too many good shows r being cancelled after I get hooked on them. I hate it. It’s just not fair.
Addicted to this show and even have my husband hooked! Really hope there’s a season two!
Love the show!!! I hope it returns!!!
Please keep this program on, I LOVE IT!! I can’t take anymore reality shows! I recorded the shows, and did a marathon weekend. Now I’m hooked- telling everyone I know to watch next season. You need to give new shows a chance to develop and catch on before axing them. Maybe if more hype was given to the show prior, and during the summer the numbers would be much higher, like the way Modem Family is promoted constantly. DO NOT cancel this summer show, it needs a chance to develop.
Love this show, give it a chance!!
There are innumerable reasons to renew Reckless:
