The Lincoln Lawyer will not be seen on CBS. The network has canceled its plans for the new David E. Kelley series before it could even start production on a pilot. The network had a series commitment for the series, and this back out of their plans will cost them some. The move by the network was a shock. Kelley is known for his legal dramas.
Per Deadline, the series will likely be shopped elsewhere by A+E Studios. The cast and crew of the series learned that the series would not move forward on CBS on Friday. The series is based on the novels by Michael Connelly. A film starring Matthew McConaughey was released in 2011.
What do you think? Are you shocked CBS canceled its plans for The Lincoln Lawyer. Did you plan to watch the new David E. Kelley series once it arrived?
not impressed with cbs these days they cancelled tommy and are not producing a david e.kelley series.what r they thinking?!
Was very disappointed. The movie was great & would have transitioned well into a series.
Was really looking forward to the Lincoln Lawyer series. Will be watching to see what network picks it up and will watch it there. I think CBS is making a mistake in this call.
Was really looking forward to the Lincoln Lawyer tv show. I guess, I’ll have to watch it on another channel!
I’m not sure what’s up at CBS. Cancel good shows, have some pretty poor ones and greed to only be able to see next day on all access.
I’m sure it would have been excellent, but… do we need yet another lawyer show? We need more comedies!
Michael Connelly is one of my favorite authors so, YES, I had planned to watch the TV series Lincoln Lawyer.
Absolutely planned on watching! Was waiting in anticipation. Michael Connolly and David E. Kelly? What a combo! Hope another network or streamer picks it up! They’d be fools to not start production when able.
Yes, I have watched ever one of his Series.All good.
Do very disappointed. Loved the movie.
What a disappointment! I was really looking forward to it!
So sad! I was looking forward to this!
I have been waiting for David E. Kelly drama to come back to Network TV and CBS is the perfect network so I’m interested to know why. Hope this series comes to fruition soon on network TV
I will give any new David E. Kelley show a chance, especially when it involves the law. I was expecting this one to be a network friendly version of Goliath, which I enjoyed.
I’m disappointed. I had planned to watch this new show. Cancelled, before production started, not given a chance. Hopefully, another network will pick it up.
