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.

Deborah–You’ll see the link to the petition, under the ID of slewpo, in the comments section on TV Series Finale.
Reckless is a fantastic show and has great actors They all work so well together and make this a truly great show. Please bring us a second season. There is a lot playing out and a second season could be even better than the first season. I never even saw this show advertised for its’ premier, but was very lucky to catch it on Netflix!! Please bring us another season of Reckless!!
I want a second season pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease !! If there is a petition please tell me about its site and I’ll sign it out quickly ! This show is better than many other Crime and investigations dramas that turns to become border and border these days !
Dodi: Yes, there is a pettion. Click the link below. Also, the first 13 episodes of Reckless are now on Netflix. So people who love the show are writing letters asking Netflix to produce the second season. so, think about doing that, too. Here is the link to the petition:

I THINK IT’LL BE RECKLESS FOR CBS TO CANCEL RECKLESS!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEASE DON’T CANCEL. IT WAS THE SUMMERS SULTRIEST SITCOM OF ALL NETWORKS. IT KEPT YOU SUSPENSE….WONDERING WHAT TWIST AND TURNS THEY COULD GET OUT OF OR INTO NEXT WEEK. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL RECKLESS I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON TWO. WHO SHOT THE OH SO HANDSOME AND CHARMING GREGORY HARRISON????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a summer replacement the show had little chance to grab a audience! Watching on Netflix found the characters and story lines to be addictive. Hopefully they change their stance on canceling the series! Or hopefully Netflix buys the rights to the show and continues the series.
Go Netflix !!!!! Show CBS what a mistake they
Made by canceling it!!
I just saw it all on netflix, bummed it ended so soon, great show!
I never heard about the show until it came on my Netflix and I watched the whole first season in one day. It was AMAZING I was very upset to find that it was cancelled.
