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?
I really like this show. I am soooooo sick of reality shows. Finally found a show that was entertaining.
I can’t believe this show has been pulled, we loved it!!! Please bring it back.
Would definitely watch season 2
I can’t believe a smart show about the military would be canceled when you have shows like Blood and Treasure still on the air which I couldn’t make it through one episode! This was a treasure in the CBS schedule!
An intelligent, entertaining show. Do the network need another reality, game or talent show. As a formerly active duty Marine, I can certainly appreciate the challenges present by the Code.
I too am upset that the Code is being canceled. I have just finished up to episode 12. I hate when this happens and it happens a lot more lately. You get hooked on a new show only to have it canceled after one season or 2 (Whiskey Cavalier, Quantico, The Village, Code Black, For the People). It is so disappointing, makes you NOT want to even start watching a new show. Or then you see new shows with the same theme’s (law or medical) for the upcoming year preview on commercials and you think ….. what was wrong with… Read more »
My husband and I loved this show. It seems anytime you get a decent show it get pulled totally. We are tired of stupid shows or every hop into a different bed shows. Please reconsider returning this show. Be different and put a good show back on.
We loved the show!!! Please do not cancel this great show!!
I really enjoyed the show and was sorry to find it had been cancelled last week. I do not care for “reality” shows and I have watched every episode of this series. Please reconsider the cancellation.
It boggles my mind that The Code is gone but the hairbrained Blood & Treasure are still being streamed. World is upside down.
I enjoyed watching “The Code” Something beside the crazy game shows! Real sorry to see it go. Hope to see it back or picked up on Netflix
I really like this show. I record it so I can watch later when I have time. I am so bummed.
I don’t understand how they are cancelling a really good show. I knew nothing about it being on. Poor announcement of a new show. I had to watch it on demand and could not get enough of it. People don’t watch tv the same way as the old days. I think they had a winner here. The worst marketing ever of a new show.
Very sorry to hear the show may be cancelled! It was a good fit for Monday nights.
Love the show and am very disappointed that it will not be back.
