Airing on the CBS television network, Scorpion stars Elyes Gabel, Katharine McPhee, Eddie Kay Thomas, Jadyn Wong, Ari Stidham, Robert Patrick, Riley B. Smith, Andy Buckley, Jamie McShane, Joshua Leonard, Dan Dratch, and Scott Porter. It is inspired by a real-life computer expert.
The series centers on Walter O’Brien (Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits. They are the country’s last line of defense against lurking high-tech threats. As Team Scorpion, these members of Homeland Security’s think tank solve the nation’s crises, even as they help one other on their quest to fit in. At the start of season four, they find themselves working with their nemesis, Mark Collins (Leonard), to prevent the extinction of the human race. Meanwhile, Walter and Paige (McPhee) feel awkward as they try to navigate their new relationship.

Telly’s Take
Scorpion premiered with much lower ratings than last year and they’ve dropped pretty low since then. Not a good sign. I’m thinking that it will either be cancelled or renewed for a final year. I will update this page as the picture grows more clear. Subscribe for free updates on any Scorpion cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Should the Scorpion TV show have been cancelled? Would you have watched season five?
Please do not cancel scorpion. .. it’s an amazing programme we watch it as a family and has had a real positive impact on kids working hard at school as they are inspired by this programme
Please do not cancel Scorpion! This show got hurt in the ratings because it was moved to 10PM. Put it back on at 9PM on Mondays! Don’t cancel Scorpion!
I enjoy this show its one of the three shows on tv I watch.
I LOVE THIS SHOW “SCORPION ” PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT!!!!!
Its our family time to watcht his together. WE LOVE IT!! RENEW IT PLEASE!!!
I love this show and feel it should continue. The writing has not been as good as in the past so they need to step it up a bit.
I’d definitely like to see this show renewed for a fifth season. This show keeps me and my husband on the edge of our seats through out the show. Love the plot lines and how they collectively put their heads together to come up with solutions to get out of what ever situation their in.
Everyone in our family loves this program. We watch and record so those that get up early can come over and watch. It has become a regular event for us and the grandkids.
I’d definitely like to see this show renewed for a fifth season. Do away with Florence and have Walter and Paige get married. After that, Walter can then adopt Ralph and all will be right with the world again.
Yes yes yes yes YES! THIS!! I know it might seem as though two people as different as Walter and Paige couldn’t work, but Florence belongs with Sylvester (if she MUST remain on the show). Sly married and then lost Walters sister, he’s been growing as a character, he should get to be happy too.
Save Scorpion have Walter adopt the kid and replace the lead actress….the chemistry has been gone for months now.
As in replace McPhee? No way. They tried to do that on “Family Matters” after Jo Marie Payton (the original “Hariette”) left and the show crashed and burned.
Please renewed need more seasons so good.
After using Google and Instagram about the lead actress, I was very heartbroken to read such negative articles.
So saddening
Please cancel….storylines are boring and no longer worth watching.
NO! DO NOT CANCEL!! Some of us like it. IF YoU dont lime it dont watch it but, those of us who do PLEASE RENEW it!!
Please renewed show really good with people disability as something as great enterntainment need more seasons to come.
I really enjoy scorpion and hope it is renewed. There are others I would like to see cancelled before scorpion.
I enjoy scorpion and would like to see it continued. There are a few others that I definitely would not miss at all if they were cancelled.
i am a really big fan of this show it better not be canceled..
