Training Day TV show star, Bill Paxton, passed away on February 25th, at just 61 years of age, due to complications following surgery. Since his new CBS cop drama is only four episodes into its 13 episode first season, fans have asked how the loss of this accomplished actor will affect the first season, and if CBS will cancel or renew Training Day for season two.
Picking up years after the movie, Training Day follows Detective Frank Rourke (Paxton). He’s the maverick head of a special unit that hunts the city’s most dangerous criminals. LAPD brass assigns heroic Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) to pose as Frank’s trainee. Kyle is to spy on Frank and report on his off-book methods. The rest of the CBS cast includes Katrina Law, Drew Van Acker, Lex Scott Davis, Julie Benz, Christina Vidal, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
Will Training Day Season One Continue? Will this TV Show Be Cancelled or Renewed for a Season Two on CBS?
The first season of Training Day is currently averaging a 0.77 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.165 million viewers. Compared to other CBS TV shows, the cop drama currently ranks 22nd out of the 25 scripted Tiffany Network TV shows we’re tracking. Even if we hadn’t lost the talented Mr. Paxton far too soon, CBS was unlikely to renew Training Day for season two.
There is one bright spot for fans. Deadline reports that season one production wrapped in December, which means all 13 episodes from the show’s first-season have already been shot. There are still nine new Training Day episodes, starring Paxton, to come on CBS.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Training Day TV show? Will you keep watching it, without Paxton? Should CBS cancel or renew Training Day for season two? Let us know, below.
Training day is one of my favorite shows, truly sad about Bill Paxton. I think they should keep the show on the air.
My wife & I both enjoy Training Day and hope that the show continues and somehow is able to work the story around the untimely loss of Bill Paxton.
I love the show, we used to watch it on demand..
Great show. Would like to see it return! What about Daniel Craig? He would make a nice replacement for Bill.
My hubby and I enjoy the show. We’d love to see it return. Has anyone thought of Mark Wahlberg to replace “Frank”?
This show is outstanding! I don’t understand why networks only care about 18-49 year old. People over 50 have more disposable income and shop more than 18 year olds. This show deserves a second season.
I like the show and hope they will continue with season 2
Love the show, please renew
Love the show, please renew.
Love Trainging Day. Please renew
You should renew the show please thank you
I like the show a lot and wish it could be renewed for a second season!
I like the show and hope they will continue with season 2.
I like training day ad hope they will continue the series
I love the show. Please continue the series. Please.
Love training day. Hope it continues. Love Bill though. So sad
Television studios really don’t give shows a chance for people to get into them. I love this show, I was afraid it was going to be canceled even before the passing of Mr. Paxton. He had an awesome resume I believe I’ve seen everything he has done. My favorites are Tombstone, Aliens, and Predator 2. CBS should give the series another season. The last 12 episodes have been really good and I’m looking forward to more. I like Kevin Bacon as a possible, but I would really like to see someone like Dylan McDermott in the role.
