CBS Cancels "Training Day" and "Ransom"
by Kat Rosenfield
May 17, 2017

The last two shows on the CBS bubble have officially gotten the ax, as news came down today that "Training Day" and "Ransom" will not be returning for a second season.

The two shows were among the least-watched and poorest-rated in the CBS lineup, and their cancellation, which was reported by TV by the Numbers, comes as no surprise.

"Ransom", which starred Luke Roberts as a hostage crisis negotiator, debuted in January to respectable numbers but saw a sharp drop-off in viewership after its season premiere.

"Training Day", a cop drama based on the 2001 film starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, tragically lost one of its stars Bill Paxton after the acclaimed actor unexpectedly passed away earlier this year.

"Ransom" concluded its first season in April. "Training Day" will air its series finale on Saturday, May 20.

"Pure Genius" Canceled at CBS after 1 Season
by Nellie Andreeva
May 17, 2017

Medical drama series "Pure Genius" was the lowest-rated among all of the network’s new fall series last season, and did not get additional episodes beyond it’s original 13-episode order.

While it remained in contention for a season 2 renewal, its chances were dropped after CBS didn't include it on the network’s 2017-18 slate of new and returning series released today.
