CBS Renewal Status Report: ‘The Equalizer’, ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’, ‘Elsbeth’, ‘CSI: Vegas’ & ‘So Help Me Todd’


CBS has some painful cancellation decisions with several drama series in limbo, Equalizer, NCIS: Hawai'i, Elsbeth, CSI: Vegas and So Help Me Todd.

CBS’ schedule this season has been performing well, led by new breakout hit Tracker, and all five dramas in limbo rank #22 or higher among all non-sports broadcast programs in linear Nielsen most current viewership ratings (2/12 to date). One of the best reviewed broadcast drama series in years, the show comes from top CBS/CBS Studios creators Michelle and Robert King, it is part of The Good Wife franchise, giving the crime procedural formula a quirky twist, and it’s been doing well in the early going, especially in multi-platform viewing. CSI producer Bruckheimer Television has another CBS drama series, hot sophomore Fire Country, which has been renewed for next season and may spawn a Sheriff spinoff which is on a slower development track.
