The Player won’t be playing for much longer. According to Deadline, NBC has cut down the freshman series’ episode order from 13 to nine.
The action drama, which stars Phillip Winchester and Wesley Snipes, follows a Las Vegas security expert who is drawn into the city of sin’s crime world after an intruder shoots his ex-wife. The series premiered on September 24 to fair ratings, but its viewership has only recently seen an increase.
The Player will air at its regular slot on Thursday at 10 p.m. until the ninth episode airs later this fall.
No official news of a cancellation yet.
What do you think? Do you watch The Player? Would you like to see more the series?
This is a good series. Several people I know watch The Player.
Can’t believe this show is being cancelled. It’s definitely one of my favorites!
Show is gaining viewers so, of course, why give it more time or a better time slot? Network geniuses!!
If the player is canceled I would
Be every disappointed what is going on
Everyone who likes the Player who has
Watched the show knows what may
happen
Everyone who likes it, send in a deck of cards to to the network to show how much you love the series!
I truly enjoy watching The Player every week and really wish the show was not being CANCELLED. However, only because its airing on NBfrickinC, I look every week just to make sure. I watch it every week. I think NBC tanked the show intentionally by showing an awesome first show followed by an atrocious second show which lost many many people that I know. The shows have gotten better since the lackluster 2nd show and I have recorded the entire series in hopes to make sure I understand the entire story. Because of the many NBC pilots that have started… Read more »
Cutting episodes is a such sign that the show will be cancelled. It’s toast.
The Player is good after I soon the
show which I saw
from the characters and the drama
I would like for the series to continue
NBC never gives a show a chance to catch on. Sean saves the world, Constantine. Not all shows start out as rockets in a bottle. The Player is a great show. I’m over Blacklist. She should of been dead by now. How many times can your but be saved I stopped watching when she didn’t kill Neil. Ridiculous storyline.
I’m tired of this “game” too. It makes no sense that they won’t give new shows a chance. I just wished all the shows I watch came on theses upper channels like Jerry Kramer mentioned. Don’t these same networks that cancel shows so much own these other channels or are you talking about online streaming as well .
Player is a good show I don’t know why you’re cutting the back from 13 to 9 I love the show or brother loves to show and everybody I talk to loves to show.
Just another reason to stop watching any series that the networks air. Don’t give the show time to gain a following. It doesn’t mater if there are people who like the show and have taken time to get connected to the story. Networks have no willingness to give a show a chance. If the network isn’t willing to support their shows, why should we the people who enjoy watching them take time anymore. Everyone don’t get sucked into this network game anymore. There are so many shows on the upper channels where those networks are much more willing to give… Read more »
I never miss an episode. Please don’t cancel!
Not very happy about the news at all. If The Player gets canceled, I will definitely give up on Blindspot just because I enjoy the Strike Back guys in Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester.
