It looks like the remaining two episodes of Stalker will be the last for the CBS series. The network has cancelled the show after one season and 20 episodes.
A cop thriller, Stalker follows the work of the LAPD’s Threat Assessment Unit, a team that investigates incidents of stalking. The TV show stars Dylan McDermott, Maggie Q, Victor Rasuk, and Mariana Klaveno.
The series got off to a moderate start on October 1st with a 2.0 rating and 9.07 million viewers. Stalker’s ratings dropped a bit in week two but then continued to dwindle downward over the course of the season.
CBS pulled it from Wednesday nights with three installments left in the season, replacing it with CSI: Cyber. It started looking clear that Stalker was destined to be axed.
After more than two months away, they aired one episode on April 27th. The remaining pair are slated for May 11th and May 18th.
What do you think? Do you like the Stalker TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
If I did my job like a CBS programming exec, I would have been fired years ago. Take an engaging show with great actors, great writing and unique plot lines. Then promote it as little as possible, jack it around on your schedule so its audience can’t find it, pull it off the air, release a few episodes in spurts… then marvel that the numbers aren’t stunning enough to keep it on the air. Don’t you get that audiences do NOT want to see yet another retread of formula shows like CSI? And while I love NCIS, we do NOT… Read more »

Why would you cancel the best show on TV??? Not happy at all. Please reconsider your decision. Make a Season 2 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Here we go again! Another great show cancelled. So sick of television and the networks that cancel something worth watching while leaving crap reality shows on. Getting so over it, time to get rid of television and just watch Netflix!
WHY OH WHY?!! EVERY GOOD SHOW GETS AXED!
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE BIONIC WOMAN?

Disappointed UK viewer!! I love this show me and my Mum both watch this show and we are so not happy With desicion…really hope another station picks up please
CBS PLEASE DON’T CANCEL STALKER!!!! it’s such a great show and the details in each episode is just unbelievably great! can they have a petition for continuing the show ?
Wby do all the great shows get the ax from the CBS “higher-ups”? Do they think they have the pulse on America? And do they ever listen to us? Noooooo!!!!! Stalker is a great show with great actors, with a great subject matter, and not ever boring. What else do you need? Dylan McDermott is hot, the girls are pretty and can act, and even the secondary actors are great newcomers. What will it take for CBS to listen to its viewers, and, also to allow a good show to build up a following? Stalker needs to stay. All the… Read more »
OMG….. Seriously… WHYYY!!! Every show I really enjoy they are getting canceled… This show Stalker is Sooo good… I’m truly sad that there is not going to be a season 2…..
All the best shows end up cancelled, those stupid reality-based shows are the ones needing to be canceled.
I think CBS should be boycotted! Everytime they put on a good show they cancel it. I am now at the point where I am no longer going to watch anything from CBS, maybe if enough people would do that they would get there head out of there arse. Instead they rather be sniffing ass and brown nosing all day long while hanging out with there 2 best friends, the marbles.
Only a Boycott on not watching CBS will get there head out of there ARSE!!!!
BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! CBS YOU SUCK!!!!!!!
All the networks do the same thing! Good shows gone, crappy reality etc. stays. Maybe if we all just stop watching them all they will get it??? I no longer will watch new shows any network puts on because if i do and get invested they cancel them. Netflix here i come. Heck with this!
Of course cancel this interesting show, with a different plot twist than most crime shows. But make sure we have another Criminal Minds and who knows how many more CSIs. How about “The Well Behaved Wife” or “Bluer Bloods”. Not saying these shows are bad, just want a little more creativity. That’s why cable and Netflix and Amazon and Hulu will soon dominate. Who wants to watch a rehash of an already existing show. And has anyone noticed that all these franchises repeat very similar plot lines just weeks apart?
I’ve never watched TV until I seen a show on my TV guide for “Stalker”. it was probably already on it’s 4th episode when I discovered it. It turned out to be quite interesting. A shame that they cancelled such a good show. It’s almost as if CBS wants to lose it’s audience.
