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.

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.
How can you do this , Scorpion is the only show I really enjoy watch, CBS you have so many other stupid show you really show remove, but Scorpion, bring it back. The show is smart show I alway looked forward to Monday night at 10:00 pm to show this show. Please bring it back.
This is one of really good TV shows that is floating around the ocean of crapy shows. It is a TV show that bring a lot of intellect and positive energy. It might require the audience to be intellectual to follow up the pace of the plot so that’s why it only received a minor popularity because the majority are just being so secular.
Scorpion = best show ever!!!!!!!!! Every Monday night I am so excited to watch scorpion!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Scorpion!!! It was a very enjoyable show and taught our youth that just because your different doesn’t mean that you can succeed. This show should have been renewed for another season. Never missed an episode!! Reconsider and bring this show back so that we can continue to learn it.
is it over cuz the autistic guy keeps fighting with his girlfriend
I really love watching this show… It’s my favourite so far…. please bring it back. it shouldn’t end like this..
#SaveScorpion #TeamScorpion !
Scorpion is one of the best tv shows . It deserves to be renewed
To the 3 major networks…ABC, CBS, and NBC. You all stink, we the people are the ones your advertisers are trying to reach and they are not going to reach me anymore because you are cancelling the shows I love. There are a lot of channels on cable and many of them are rerunning the really good old shows, some I had totally forgotten about, like Nash Bridges and many others.
I absolutely Love the show. It’s one of my top 10 favorite shows. But, if I like it that means it’s probably domed. This year most of my favorite shows have been canceled. NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!
please don’t cancel scorpion.we didn’t get to see things work out for the team.And if it matters am a scientist and seeing them solve problem (both government and love)inspires me.Thank you
My husband and I love scorpion , it’s a great show. Please bring it back at least to give closure on each person.
Please don’t cancel Scorpion. I know that all great TV shows must come to an end, but this isn’t the end it should have. Typically these type of shows last 8-9 seasons. I hope that another company may take over scorpion and give it the lasting life it deserves. There is not many TV shows like Scorpion, so please don’t cancel it.
Please don’t cancel scorpion it is awesome to see the way geniuses figure out problems. The interaction with the others and with normal people. It is very informative and interesting to know a snippet of what the group portrays they do for the government.
Please don’t cancel Scorpion…We love our nerdy geniuses and Gabe and Paige too…We enjoy watching this show and laugh at all their quirks, lack of social skills and different personalities. They are a great team of lovable, intelligent misfits!
OMG you can’t cancel scorpion!! I love this show. I always look forward to my dvr to see it. I can’t believe you’d end the show with unanswered question for each member. Need to bring it back. Pretty please!!
They’re not doing the show for people, but merely for money. Don’t expect much from a decaying business.
We are trying to beg please
