USA Network is putting the safety on Shooter for a little while longer. Variety reports the network has delayed the new series’ debut until the fall.
The drama stars Ryan Phillippe as Bob Lee Swagger, an ex-military sniper who returns to action in order to prevent a plot to assassinate the president. The cast also includes Omar Epps and William Fichtner.
Last week, USA announced they were delaying the series’ planned July premiere by a week due to the recent police shootings in Dallas. Now, due to more deadly shootings across the nation, the network is postponing the show’s debut until the fall season.
An exact date has yet to be announced.
What do you think? Are you interested in watching Shooter? Do you think the premiere delay is appropriate?
please no this show is great don’t cancell
I understand postpone until fall shows begin. Please don’t cancel. It looks to be a good show and we had shows in past were presidents, etc. We’re shot. Example TV series 24. We should not let murders dictate what is on TV.
In interested in this site, but it fit better in summer. There will be shootings in the fall. There are always shooting. This isn’t new.
There will be shootings in the fall too. There are always shootings. Site looks good, but it fit better in summer.
I was looking forward to watch this series, and I understand the reason for postponing it, but as long as it’s done in good taste I think the show should go on.
I have been waiting for this show. Unfortunately we live in a violent world right now and a show will not change that. They should announce the premiere date and stick with it. My opinion.
I am ready to watch it now. It was announced in People magazine that it would premiere on USA on July 19. This is a show, it is not real life. It is entertainment, not real life. An intelligent adult can make the decision whether to watch it or not.
I totally agree with this reply.
fall is not going to be any better.
how about we stop making shows like this for awhile?
I was going to watch and I understand the first delay since it involves a sniper, but not this one
I’m tired of networks doing this. Unfortunately, things like ‘shootings’ happen. That is REAL life. This is NOT about sensitivity-it is about POLITICAL correctness run amuck.
