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.
Bill Paxton will be missed…. Great show please DO NOT cancel training days…..
I like the shoW hope you don’t cancel it. I would think they can somehow keep it going to add another great actor but keep frank remember
Very upset over the loss of Bill. Prayers to his family. Love the show. I think it would depend on who his replacement would be.
Please renew another season . I love this show …
I absolutely LOVE this show. Loved Bill Paxton so almost didn’t watch. That said why ratings aren’t fab. I KNOW many who said they didn’t want to see this since Bill passed and they knew it couldn’t continue as it was. I say watch. It is worth it.
One of the best shows on TV. Please don’t cancel.
This is a great show. I hope it can find staying power without Bill Paxton. RIP
we love the show and would continue watching it if it continue
Yes I love the show will miss Bill Paxton big time but would love to see this show continue
Loved everything Bill Paxton; except the hidden story within this script. So sick of shows with hidden story lines. I find it distracting and annoying. Would like to watch a program that is a fresh cut from one episode to the next, that way you don’t have to have watched from episode 1 to know what’s going on.
Don’t cancel this is a great show
Love show, hope find a way to continue show, really like,casting of tommy, becca, and kyle. Please keep the show.!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent series – and we will continue to watch the series even without Bill Paxton. A tragic loss of a talented person.
My husband and I watched this every week!!! It’s a great show and should be renewed!!! It’s a well written and acting is superb!!
This is the best I’ve seen of Bill Paxton, and I have seen the majority of his work. Sadly it is him that is the only reason I find the show the best new series and worth watching. His talent and the character of which he makes work when nobody else is going to be to the show what he was. There is no real talent and the other cast members only had a job because of him. He has no supporting cast worth mentioning or the time it takes to turn on the television. The show is a complete… Read more »
