This team of geeks and misfits is sticking together. CBS has renewed the Scorpion TV show for a fourth season which will air as part of the 2017-18 broadcast season.
Airing on the CBS television network, Scorpion revolves around computer expert Walter O’Brien (Elyes Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits. They’re this country’s last line of defense against complex, high-tech threats. The quirky masterminds have found the perfect job: a place where they can apply their exceptional brainpower to solve the nation’s crises, while also helping each other learn how to fit in. The series also stars Robert Patrick, Katharine McPhee, Jadyn Wong, Ari Stidham, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Riley B. Smith.
Season three kicked off in October 2016 and 20 installments have aired so far. Ratings-wise, Scorpion is averaging a 1.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.26 million viewers. Year-to-year, that’s down by 31% in the demo and down by 25% in viewers. To be fair, the show did shift to a later timeslot.
With these declines, Scorpion is currently in the middle of the pack among CBS’ other current scripted series. The renewal isn’t a surprise, however. It’s co-produced by CBS Television Studios and a fourth season will give the series plenty of episodes for a syndication package. Could season four be the end? We’ll have to wait and see.
What do you think? Do you like the Scorpion TV show on CBS? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a fourth season? Should it have been cancelled instead?
I glad that Scorpion has been renewed. I believe that the shows ratings would improve if the broadcast time is moved back to the 9pm time slot.
Broadcasting the show in the same time slot across the country would also help the ratings.
I love scorpion! Characters are fabulous, and the plot is always exciting, entertaining and educational. I’m delighted it’s being renewed!
Love this show. Can go a long time if CBS gives it a chance.
We really enjoy Scorpion and are it has been renewed for another season.
I love Scorpion I just wish it would go back to airing at 9:00 p.m. All of the sitcoms that come on before it are not very good so it makes it hard to sit up that late to watch. I can’t wait for next season!
A funny show that keeps your attention and never gets old or boring. Love all the characters and the show.
So glad season 4 has been ordered. I love this series and wait for the next episode every week. It’s been great watching this group of “misfits” become a family and support group for each other while keeping the show so much fun. I hope it goes on and on. Thank you CBS for a show without murder, mayhem, blood and gore. And Walter and Paige could be such a great couple. Look forward to seeing that develop.
I fully agree with you! It’s refreshing to be able to watch a show that is family oriented with none of the murder, mayhem blood and gore! You nailed it!
Yes love the show. My husband and I watch weekly. It’s great to have a funny show focus on science and match and family vs one focused on violence and sex. Thank you CBS! Keep it going please.
I love this show. I am 60 but am able to share enjoying the programme with my children & my grandchildren. I watch the new episodes on TV & also have the DVD collection.
Please don’t cancel.
