Shoot the Messenger was cancelled after one season on Canada’s CBC. There will be no season two on WGN America. Could it return somewhere else? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Shoot the Messenger originally premiered in Canada in 2016, and CBC cancelled it after just one season, so we’re not tracking its ratings on WGN America. In the past, I might have speculated on whether WGN would pick it up for a second season, but they’re not currently running their own original series. Parent company Tribune Media dumped all its original programming like cancelled TV shows Underground and Outsiders, to be primed for a merger with Sinclair. For now, Shoot the Messenger is one and done, and I must dress for dinner. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the trades, in case it makes an unexpected comeback.
