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.

*5/12/18 update: CBS has cancelled the Scorpion TV show so there won’t be a fifth season. Details here.
rewatched season 1 and 2 and thise seasons were excellent now they arw okay but some episodes are stupid, make the episodes interesting they may not be realistic but that doesn’t mean make them idiotic
I hope it returns. It is fun and I like the geek stuff.
Love the show. Just wish it wasn’t on so late Pacific time. Usually watch the next day.
Please don’t cancel! This show is highly entertaining! The characters are so lovable even though all the storylines aren’t realistic. It’s just good clean fun!
Season 5 please!!!
I LOVE Scorpion! It’s one show that’s different. There’s so many shows that are the same. How many shows about firemen? How many N.C.I.S shows are there? All the same. Scorpion is funny and unique. The characters are lovable and makes you care about them. Season 5 should definitely be ago.
Season 4 it’s so awesome and very touching. It’s a show everyone should watch. There should be a season 5 this show must continue
I hope Scorpion gets a 5th year. The fact that it was about geniuses attracted me right away. The shows that are violent look like guns solve everything just like throw enough money at a story and that’ll solve whatever they’re suffering from. Scorpion is truly unique. I like the problem solving. I don’t like reality shows or guns. They don’t solve anything. The only other disadvantage is the 10:00 time slot. I liked it better at 9.

I LOVE Scorpion! One of my favorites!! <3
Oh I groan at the plots, but still somehow care about the characters. Please renew.
There has to be a season 5. I look forward to watching this show every Monday. I think it’s one of the best shows on tv. Please make another season!!
Please do not cancel it.I love this show.
I like the relationship between the members of the team,especially Walter&Page,Doc&Happy.
At the end I appreciate they solve all the problems.
Of course they have flaws as much as they have qualities,even if they are geniuses.
I want, season 5,with no excuses!
Greetings from Romania. #Oana
This show is our family’s favorite. We look forward to it every week. Please, please don’t cancel it!
I would love to see a season 5. I hope it will happen
Please do not cancel it. It is soooo hard to find a good show WITHOUT bad words and sexual innuendo now a days. I totally value this in a great show like Scorpion. Especially since I watch with my 8yo daughter. She is in love with the show as much as I am.
