It’s the end of the road for Rush Hour. According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS has cancelled the series after one season.
Based on the popular film franchise with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, Rush Hour stars Justin Hires as an LAPD detective who teams up with a detective from Hong Kong (Jon Foo). Wendie Malick, Aimee Garcia, and Page Kennedy also star.
Only seven episodes in, Rush Hour has not performed strongly in the ratings. So far, season one has received an average of .92 in the 18-49 demo and around 4.6 million viewers.
Hires confirmed the news on Twitter:
It's my unpleasant task to announce that Rush Hour is not being renewed for a second season.… https://t.co/9myYYDCLtC

What do you think? Have you been watching Rush Hour? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
Sorry to hear this awesome show is not going to continue.
Love to watch it with my husband and kids.
Shame on you for doing this over and over with good family shows like this.
I may not watch your channel ever again!
Nice show…family show….give it time to grow on people looking for action more like the old bat man show….
We looked forward to this show! It didn’t start in our viewing area until late April, or early May (with the.pilot episode). I see that (some where in the US) seven episodes ran. We only saw three, before it was dropped. I agree with all of the other viewer comments. The show was very family -friendly. It was the only show on Thursday this spring that we liked watching.
all i can say is “Why?!” I really fell in love with the show and really would like to see it continue , i dont write reviews like ever but seeing the show be cancelled so abruptly makes me upset. It would be cool to see a season two
I really liked the show. It was funny and entertaining. What a waste to let go of a good show.
I’m so disappointed Rush Hour is cancelled. My husband and I never miss it 🙁
I am a big fan of the Rush Hour movies, but I really did enjoy the tv show and I would love to see the show continue.
It definitely should have been renewed for a second season as Season 1 was fantastic & was extremely engaging & action packed. Rush Hour is a very Exciting TV show and one to really look forward to watching every single week. I just absolutely loved this TV show and am extremely disappointed it’s been cancelled by CBS which was a huge mistake. I hope that it gets picked up by Cable TV @ that the ratings are so high that it blows CBS out of the water (so-to-speak)!!!
I’m really disappointed my favorite TV series was just cancelled by CBS. I’m 63 years and it’s the best darn TV cop drama I’ve seen ever. You two guys are great. Drama with comedy.
I am sad to hear that Rush Hour has been cancelled. It deserves a chance to make it with a longer appearance.
It saddens me to here RushHour has been cancelled. It was full of action packed drama with comic relief. What happened? It needs a second chance, maybe Netflix or Amazon will pick it up if not another Network.
I loved this show. I can’t believe cbs is not renewing it or showing the rest of the episodes. How do you keep on other stupid shows like 2 broke girls etc and not this show. Every Thursday I looked forward to watching this or to rewatch it on demand. Very pisses about this! I finally looked forward to watching a show on cbs, which been a long time bc I think most the other shows aren’t that good. Please re think and bring back this show re new atleast another season give it a try I’m sure some people… Read more »
I am truly disappointed to hear this sad news. I absolutely loved this series. My family and i looked forward to every Thursday night to enjoy a good action/comedy cop show. I love Wendy Malik not to mention the chemistry between the detectives. I was so happy to hear the show was going to air. Now i have to watch reruns of other old cop shows. not happy at all
Anyone who enjoyed the movies and those who never saw them will enjoy this show. Our family it is great. Give it another chance. We were looking for a long run
I agree. And personally, I think that the first seven episodes were very entertaining.
Ive been a long time network tv watcher and this show is in my top 5. Dont give up on this show CBS. My dad is 65 and he loves it.
