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.

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.

HUGE Mistake to Cancel this Series. SMART Decision would be to RENEW with the Original Cast for a 5th season…etc…etc….

Let’s hope Netflix, Hulu or The CW picks it up for a fifth season this year.
Bring Scorpion back as a sequel series or a limited series, please.

Being scorpions show back!!!
Totally want to watch Season 5… get me binge watching all shows to bow out on an unresolved problem? Frustrating… bring it back!!!
I am so sad……..Scorpion was a great show!!!
Bring Scorpion back. It’s a family show and if you didn’t change the time slot to 10:00 P.M. it would have done much better in the ratings. I don’t understand the logic in the time change.
What is wrong with CBS???? They keep cancelling good shows! Bring SCORPION BACK!!!! Guess after Bib Bang Theory ends I’ll only have 2 shows left NCIS and Criminal Minds! So thanks CBS for ruining our t.v. shows!

We enjoyed Scorpion. Very fresh and innovative. Character development was great.
I loved the show scorpion so sad that CBS has cancelled it CBS is canceling a lot of good shows lately
Really CBS. I hope you lose your 1st place network status. First Code Black then Scorpion. This network is bad and getting worse. Have fun trying to getting viewers as you’re losing me as a supportive viewer. Good luck CBS!
Scorpion is a really great family show. Please do not cancel.
I really looked forward to each week.I love the character developments that slowly came on the scene.i would watch it if another network picked it up. Please reconsider your decision to cancel the show completely.Thank You.
