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?
I was looking forward to watching season 5 of scorpion but the longer I waited, I became more suspicious. I googled when season 5 would be released and realized that it was cancelled. I am not very happy about it…
I will watch scorpion on whatever network picks it up. This is a great show, with talented actors and writers who create a heartwarming and hilarious story, and I will miss it tremendously if no one continues the series.

I hope scorpion comes back . I love the show . in belgium it is a hit !!!
CBS was the reason for Scorpion’s downfall. They moved it from the 9PM slot to 10.
I loved Scorpion. This is heartbreaking. I hope some other network will pick them up. I would definitely watch. And they also ended on a bad note. Paige dumped Walter. The team deserted him. This is not good at all. Please don’t leave us hanging like this.
Scorpion deserves a renewal
Scorpion should be renewed.it is the best tv show on CBS
We Loved “Scorpion”,
We want it back.
Amazon has saved The Expanse and Netflix has saved Lucifer. Now, let’s hope one of them saves Scorpion. We all got our fingers crossed.

It was my favorite show please re-consider
I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER SEASON
Please bring back scorpion for one more season the end was bad it needs closer
I can’t believe that CBS has cancelled Scorpion! Even though some of the stories this season weren’t up to the previous season’s standards, the characters and core story line were unique and interesting. I would suspect that the change may have had something to do with the demise of the leads off-screen relationship. When Ralph and Paige’s chemistry was in evidence the show was great. This season seemed like the writers were looking for ways to keep them from having to be romantic. Nevertheless, it was always worth watching! As another reader said, don’t just end a series without wrapping… Read more »
Disappointed they cancelled. That said, the latest season’s stories weren’t that great. A shame because originally writers created some really interesting characters and I think there was great potential for future stories exploring those characters further, rather than spending so much time on over complicated geek speak. CBS when you cancel a series without wrapping it up you alienate viewers who then go elsewhere. Wrap it up with another season and then it will do fine in re-runs and you’ve kept your viewers happy – it’s not rocket science folks!
