If you’ve been looking forward to watching The Code TV show on CBS this Monday night, you’re going to be disappointed. The network has pulled the drama series from the schedule. Will it back? Has it been cancelled?
A military legal drama, The Code stars Luke Mitchell, Anna Wood, Ato Essandoh, Phillipa Soo, Dana Delany, and Raffi Barsoumian. The story unfolds at the Judge Advocate General Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia and centers on the prosecutors, defense lawyers, and investigators who work on the legal challenges facing the U.S. Marine Corps.
The first season of The Code debuted in April drew pretty low ratings, right from the start. The eight aired episodes have averaged a 0.57 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.10 million viewers in the live + same day ratings. It’s one of CBS’ lowest-rated scripted shows of the 2018-19 season.
The Code has been pulled from the schedule and will, for the immediate future, be replaced by reruns of Magnum PI. Right now, the plan is for The Code to return on Monday, July 1st, but those plans could change.
While The Code hasn’t been officially cancelled yet, CBS pulling the series from the schedule certainly points in that direction. Some of the series’ small audience will get out of the habit of watching the program and the first week in July is traditionally one of the lowest-watched weeks of television. The ratings for the next episode will be much lower than they have been.
If there was any hope of The Code surviving to see a second season, I think this move makes it clear that CBS has given up on the series.
What do you think? Do you like The Code TV show? Do you think it will be cancelled? Would you watch season two?
This is one of our FAVORITE shows in my house! We are a military family that truly enjoys watching this show together. Please bring it back!
we enjoyed it
As a veteran of the USMC I have really enjoyed The Code. As member of the Armed Forces we all lived under the Code of Military Justice. I certainly will continue to watch the show if it returns for a second season.
Please keep it on It is a good show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please bring back the CODE…….it’s a great program
Please bring back the code. I can’t believe it has such low ratings. I’m Veteran and I’m always getting the “Thank you for your service” Almost getting sick of it………key word ALMOST. Here People have a chance to see what Military Justice is like and they don’t watch it. but they will Watch Law and Order………….. Go figure
Probably one of the best shows in a very long time. I think it would be a real blunder to cancel this show.
Please bring the Code back. It is a different and entertaining show. We were just getting to learn more about the characters and I would hate for you to end it now. Give it a chance.
I just watched the whole season and it’s really good. Please bring it back!!
I have been watching since inception and enjoy the show very much. Please put it back on and get rid of a lousy show, not a good one.
Loved the show. Please keep this on the air.
Please bring the code back and sign it up for next season
The Code is well written, very well acted, suspenseful and entertaining. Very sad to see it on hiatus and it likely needs time to build an audience. Ending it prematurely will not help that. Please bring it back.
please dont cancel the Code! I finally found a show that was have way decent
The Code is a very good show-much better than dumb reality and supposedly comedies. Please don’t cancel it. Give it time.
