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?
Yes I believe scorpion should have been around for at least another season or two yes I believe that there should have been a season 5 possibly season 6 the characters because of the team members of the show there could have been more to season 5 and possibly season 6 of storytelling and not only that she could have been plenty of action sequences
I REWATCHED THIS ATLEAST 15 times waiting for season 5. needs 1 asap
OMG come on you cannot cancel the series of SCORPION on a cliffhanger someone needs to make a series 5.
PLEASE RETHINK YOUR DECISION there are alot of us waiting.
I definitely need a season 5 to scorpion. Please please bring it back. It did not have a proper ending. I have watched all the seasons several times and it still has a story to tell.
You should bring season 5 back with more OTT and digital platform in picture, you should not be worried about it not doing well.

So for the sake of my well being and many others just renew the show or something along the lines of that.
You took the words right out my mouth…
You guys really need to bring season 5.It was a nice movie buh the season 4 didn’t end well.

I am watching reruns, and enjoying every episode. It’s probably too late for a final season since all actors have moved on. How about a movie to bring this series to a satisfying
