He’s the maverick head of a special unit that hunts the city’s most dangerous criminals.

The rest of the CBS cast includes Katrina Law, Drew Van Acker, Lex Scott Davis, Julie Benz, Christina Vidal, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.

Telly’s Take
The ratings for Training Day were terrible right out of the gate and they haven’t gotten any better. The series had little chance of being renewed for a second season and now, with the unfortunate passing of Bill Paxton, I am sure it will end after 13 episodes.
5/17/17 update: CBS has cancelled their Training Day after once season. Details here.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Training Day TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that this CBS show has been cancelled??
First all my prayers to Bill Paxton’s family
I believe that they can find a way to make season 2 work and I absolutely love this show !!!!
I love the show and Bill Paxton is an amazing actor. I would love to see the show continue.
Why was there not sufficient advertising of this amazing show? If there had been even with Bill’s passing the show would not be being cancelled! I don’t think that unless you got Christian Slater to play Frank Rourke that the role should be recast but the story could go on. I also believe that’s what Bill would have wanted.
Love the show, great storyline. Bill Paxton was great in his role and should not be recast however, I do hope the series returns with a twist.
I love this show! Please bring it back!
I love this show and I think the other characters were strong enough to carry the show with good story lines.
I love this show! It would be awesome if they brought someone like Mel Gibson or Dennis Quaid to Replace Bill Paxton. RIP. Maybe even Bill Pullman. People always mix them up anyways.
I know u don’t care what we think but I like the show. I would buy the first season on dvd. But more than likely it won’t be available. There isn’t much on tv these days!
Please bring it back for season 2
I sure that cbs can find a way to replace Paxton in a meaningful way. Using the CIA ? person to advance the findings of the father of his trainer.
The show most continue
I was so hurt when I found out Bill Paxton died I love his character. I love the show! Give it a chance! I will watch!
I hope to see it return for the second season. I absolutely loved it.. looking forward to it returning.
We loved watching Bill Paxton and will miss seeing him on the show, we hope that it will be renewed and feel that it has a lot of great actors and hopefully they can find a way to continue without Bill.
Love the show sorry to hear about Bill Paxton he was a great inspiration on the show his witty humor made it fun to watch I hope CBS continues it
I really hope they renew it. It is a good show. It is sad we lost a good guy like Bill Paxton and that he will no longer be a part of it. His wise cracks were just one of the reasons why the show is so good. The whole cast is awesome! Please renew it!
I absolutely love Training Day and watch it every week. I am so sorry and shocked by the passing of Bill Paxton and my heart goes out to his family and friends. I know it would be hard to replace Bill Paxton but maybe we can honor him by keeping his show on the air. His partner on the show is fabulous. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OFF TRAINING DAY. Thank you for considering my request.
RIP Bill Paxton, but the show must go on we want a second season and more CBS, DONT LET US DOWN!
