Even though, during the last couple of seasons, the Scorpion TV show has dropped off significantly in the ratings, CBS has opted not to cancel it. The fourth season — which kicks off with a musical episode — will provide this action drama with a decent sized syndication package. Could it spell the end? Will Scorpion cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
Inspired by the life of a real computer expert, 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.
On the CBS series, Walter O’Brien (Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits 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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The third season of Scorpion averaged a 1.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.23 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like Scorpion TV series? Should CBS cancel or renew it for a fifth season?
*5/12/18 update: CBS has cancelled the Scorpion TV show so there won’t be a fifth season. Details here.
Couldn’t we atleast get the season finale episode online so that we can watch it
I love the show, but, after waiting for 3 seasons to see Walter and Paige together, it was destroyed by the newcomer! Put her with the big guy
the finale sucks
Tom H. Why cancel when all the actors work great together. Please don’t cancel. Better then Monday night football.rd
Hi please don’t cancel season 5 I fell inlove with the series from the very first episode and what makes it even more amazing is that every movie kind is featured in it I really hope you reconsider, scorpion is also very helpfull since a lot of people can relate to some of the events in the series
I am glad they cancelled Scorpion 5th season because now I won’t bother investing any of my downtime in shows and character that will eventually cancel anyway. I will find better use of my time doing something other than watching shows on this network. Thanks for giving me back time and making me realize that loyalty means nothing.
I really enjoyed Scorpion since Season 1. It was an intelligent show that was family friendly. I hope CBS has a change of heart. They are going to lose viewers, if they continue to cancel shows without a proper ending.
You have got to be kidding. How can you cancel such a good show. There is not much on Cable these days and the few shows that are good you cancel. Cable is going down hill and will be a thing of the past soon.
Please DO NOT CANCEL Scorpion. My whole family looks forward to this show on Monday night. It is one of our favorites.
Wait, there’s more.

Everybody sign up, please.
Please don’t cancel Scorpion, it’s a great show. CBS eat your bad decision for putting the show at 10pm, and give the actors better scripts (story lines) to work with, they are very talented actors. Put the show on Friday or Saturday night.
Please keep the shows, dont cancel Scorpion, Kevin can wait!!!!
Please reconsider and bring back for a 5th season!
Love the show, please dont cancel!!!!!!!!
