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 the show
Disappointed to hear that season 2 was cancelled
Love the show disappointed to hear that there’s no season 2
Omg!! I am so disappointed Reckless is cancelled. Such a great show and addicting to watch!!! The ending of season 1 is horrible considering there is no reason 2. Roy will finally bevwirh the woman he loves, Leanne just got all the money, then the father inlaw getting shot, WHAT THE HECK PEOPLE, COME ON AND FIGURE IT OUT!! GREAT WRITTEN SHOW.
This show should not be cancelled. It is a program I throughly enjoyed watching and would like to continue to watch. Looking forward to a 2nd season.
This show is WONDERFUL. it has everything !!!
Bring it to Netflix if CBS doesnt want it.
Great characters! Great stories. WE NEED ANOTHER SEASON !!
It happens too often that you start a good series, then with a knee jerk reaction to ratings cancel the series without even giving the viewers closure. Can not describe how tired I am of this outcome & will no longer waste time watching any TV series until it is completed & can see if the last epsiode makes watching the series worth while.
Great show! Let’s keep it going!
I have watched all of season 1 over a 3 day period. Really hoping for season 2.
I watched Reckless in 1 day. I was hooked from the beginning. Bring it back. It’s a really
Good show.
