CBS recently dropped Stalker from their schedule and replaced it with a new TV show, CSI: Cyber. Now, there’s word that it’s coming back on the air — but for how long?
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.
After airing 17 of the show’s first season episodes, CBS took Stalker off the air. However, according to star Maggie Q, fans will get a chance to see the remaining episodes. She recently tweeted, “That’s a wrap on Stalker Season 1! We are back on the air at the end of the month! Thank you so much for your support!”
So far, there’s been no official word from the network regarding the unaired episodes. That seems a little unusual considering there’s less than two weeks left in the March.
While it’s good news that viewers will (hopefully) get a chance to see the remaining unaired episodes, it doesn’t change the fact that Stalker’s unlikely to be renewed for a second season. The ratings have been a disappointment at best and, so far, CSI: Cyber’s been doing much better in the same timeslot.
What do you think? Will you be watching the remaining episodes of Stalker — whenever they air? Do you think the series should be cancelled or renewed?
4/1 update: Stalker returns on May 4th. Details here.
Please renew stalker. I love that show and its characters. I am not interested in cyber csi!
The show is well written and well acted so please keep it on.CBS Cyber it’s replacement isn’t very good.
Please kkeep it on!
CBS, what are you thinking? It almost takes a season to get a full grasp of the characters you are developing so we can actually care about what is happening. You worked so hard to put this show on the screen only to pull the rug out from under the audience you were working to develope. I have started to become cyncial about trying new shows as it seems many of them are pulled before they get a chance to fully gel. Just as you start to show us how you might explore the next chapter in the lives of… Read more »
Well said, Rob G! Stalker has much more potential than the executive decision makers seem to understand. I, too, resist getting involved in much of the new programs because there is no commitment from the networks to give the really superior shows time to find their audience. Stalker should be renewed but the networks seldom listen to the viewers.
Do CBS not realise they will always get a big audience on the start of any new series or,is this there strategy Be bold and give a thought to the happiness and enjoyment you give to a mere two million or so devoted fans of Stalker
I can’t understand why CBS are not giving Stalker a second season the show is different, performances are exellent, stories are excellent. Lots of chemistry good format shot like a thriller horror. There are to many CSI spin offs. Change the timeslot
My friends & I are getting together so we can send out e-mails to other networks in hope that ONE of them will pick it up on their network. We have been waiting to see what CBS was going to do with it. And sure enough. They announced they would be canceling it after the last 3 episodes. CBS has now cut it with my Mom & I. We will miss Criminal Minds; but taking Stalker away was the last straw for us. We watched Bold & th Beautiful also but they chose to let one of their characters come… Read more »
I personally loved “Stalker”. In my opinion the show that needs cancelled is “CSI-Cyber”. I love Patricia and have watched everything she has done and was excited when I saw that she was going to be in a television series. However, I have been extremely disappointed with this one. The story lines are good, I just can’t get past the poor quality of acting. As I said previously in my opinion they should cancel “CSI-Cyber” and bring back “Stalker”.
Hey CBS. Quit thinking about what other show on your network that you can introduce another transgender person on. RENEW STALKER. Least you could do for the MAJORITY of your viewers that were sickened over your so-called BOLD move on The Bold & the Beautiful. All my friends & myself almost stopped watching CBS entirely. But we like Criminal Minds & Stalker. But we have agreed that if Stalker goes so do we. Forget Criminal Minds. And believe me when I say this. We will get everyone we know to BOYCOTT CBS. Not a threat. Just a promise.
LOVED STALKER!!!! I really wish i got to finish watching the first season! Why don’t’ they just try a new time slot!
Cancel NCIS New Orleans, that show sucks and the cast has no chemistry. Keep Stalker, it is way better and the cast has way more chemistry.
I loved stalker leave it on and renew it!
I love Stalker! CBS don’t you think you have enough CSI’s already?? Break it up a little. I won’t watch CSI Cyber just because you replaced Stalker with it and I’m making sure to spread the word. I had my best friend hooked on stalker and she doesn’t watch TV…she reads books. Renew Stalker please! Or I’ll hive up on CBS like I did NBC.
I Think its discusting they arent doing a second season of stalker , so what if they havent got the viewers they want , what about all the people who realy enjoy the show ? surely we should be counted 🙁 be very upset if i dont see this return .
we love Stalker!!! always interesting !! we need a 2nd season!!
This is one of my favorite shows of all times. We have shows that should have been cancelled or not aired.
Stalker should be renewed! Great show!
They will be stupid not to put it back on!!! Love this show an was upset when it went off. Who cares about another csi show really why take the good ones off!!!! That’s just plain stupid on CBS part
