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’m so disappointed! My husband and I looked forward to Monday nights together watching “The Code”. Finally a show worth taking the time and they pull it down. So disappointed!!!!
Excellent show. It deserves a chance. Please don’t cancel.
Grow a pair. Renew the show.
I just binged watched all eight episodes. I really enjoyed it and was looking forward to tonight’s episode. Disappointed when I read it might be cancelled.
So sad quality TV shows are cancelled
I really like this show. I is too bad they didn’t premier it right after NCIS.
YES! This show would be a great crossover show for “NCIS.” 🙂 And Tuesday night, or ANY other night, would be a far better time for “The Code.” Just can’t imagine it in competition with “Monday Night Football.”
It’s a great show!! Leave it alone already! Especially since so many other great shoes are going to be cancelled the ratings will be going up cause there’s very little sis left to watch!
Love this show. Hate all this everything ending at the end of May and there is nothing much on for 3 months. Please bring it back
I thought it is a great show. Please don’t cancel it. I don’t like watching reruns. I guess that means I won’t be watching CBS on Monday nights.
Please don’t cancel THE CODE. It’s entertaining and informative. and I agree, reminds me of JAG.
CBS please reconsider this rash move and bring it back not only this season but next!!!
My husband and I watch The Code every week! It’s stories are good and the acting is good. CBS, don’t mess up and cancel this show!! Please!!!
The Code was put on right when the weather changed and families were at little league baseball games! Put it on in the fall and you will HAVE A FOLLOWING
I like the show! Regardless of whether canceled or not it SUCKS that CBS would pull it and not air the last few episodes! I like Magnum PI bit would much prefer the new episodes versus reruns!!!
Really – Magnum PI reruns? Bring Back The Code!
I like this show and I don’t want to see it cut. Watching reruns of Magnum PI just won’t cut owith me. I am 77 a Vietnam Vet and I liked JAG.
