BrainDead Cancelled? CBS Dumps Series To Sundays

July 15, 2016 by RenewCancelTV 12 Comments

braindead cancelled or renewed seasons

CBS has effectively cancelled BrainDead after one season, with the network dumping the freshman comic thriller to Sundays and replacing it with Scorpion repeats, per THR:

The network is moving its freshman series BrainDead to Sundays at 10 p.m. beginning Sunday, July 24 and replacing the low-rated comic thriller with repeats of Scorpion.

Scorpion will first return to Mondays on July 18 at 9 p.m., leading into the network’s hourlong primetime coverage of the Republican National Convention at 10 p.m. Two weeks later, after primetime coverage of the Democratic National Convention on July 25, Scorpion will move back an hour to 10 p.m. — its normal timeslot during the regular season.

Here’s the updated schedule:

Monday, July 18

8-8:30 PM    MOM

8:30-9 PM     2 BROKE GIRLS

9-10 PM         SCORPION

10-11 PM        CAMPAIGN 2016: REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Sunday, Effective July 24

8-9 PM          BIG BROTHER

9-10 PM        MADAM SECRETARY

10-11 PM       BRAINDEAD (New Time Period)

Monday, July 25

8-8:30 PM    MOM

8:30-9 PM     2 BROKE GIRLS

9-10 PM         SCORPION

10-11 PM        CAMPAIGN 2016: DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Monday, Effective Aug. 1

8-8:30 PM      MOM

8:30-9 PM      2 BROKE GIRLS

9-9:30 PM      MOM

9:30-10 PM    THE ODD COUPLE

10-11 PM         SCORPION (New Time Period)

Coupled with BrainDead‘s low-ratings, scheduling moves like this usually signal cancellation – and has the reaper sharpening his blade.

BrainDead entered the world with a four-season plan, which now looks extremely optimistic.

Can BrainDead survive its Sunday shift, or is it indeed dead after one season? Stay tuned…

    I am surprised that CBS has allowed “Zoo” to continue as it is so different. “Braindead” is different and unique. I think CBS bows out on a series too quickly and goes for the mundane comedies and cop/investigative shows to stay safe. You’ll never keep up with competition such as: The Walking Dead, Lucifer, Damian, Preacher, if you don’t take some chances. I only watch CBS for Braindead and Zoo.

      You think any of these shows are better than “Good Wife”?

    I think cancelling this show would be a short-sighted and a mistake. This is one of the best short season shows on this network in a long time. While it’s ratings aren’t that great, I believe it has a loyal following that would continue to grow in a better time slot. And I don’t doubt it could gain prestige for the network through awards for it’s writing and cast. The bean counters have far too much say on what stays on the air and what doesn’t.

    Really enjoying the show. It is original, quirky and offbeat and the cast is great. I cannot imagine where the show is headed from week to week which makes me want to tune in all the more. Not sure why such a good show is on CBS however.

    I Love this show. Just watched the first season finale and sounds like no season two. The ending just about said it. Too bad. One of the only series I still watch on CBS.

    Too many shows being cancelled these days it makes you very careful about what you watch.
    I tend to wait for a second series until I start a new show these days, I’ve been stung too many times !
    For instance, I stay in the UK, Scotland, SyFy has being advertising “Hunters” for ages, they’ve
    really been flooding the ad breaks BUT I know it’s been cancelled so I’ve been saying to my friends
    DON’T BOTHER WATCHING it’s dumped already. SO when the series ends on a cliffhanger…NOTHING !
    Braindead is one of the few shows I’ve watched from the start and it’s a breath of fresh air, good story line, good acting, quirky and funny. BET YOU A MILLION DOLLARS IT’LL BE CANCELLED ?

      Hope it is. The same writers cancelled Good Wife. Good Wife was a show worth watching

    I loved this show. Casting was spot on. Braindead was witty, satirical, and intelligent. In other words it is doomed.
