NBC has cancelled Chicago Justice after one season, having opted not to renew the legal spinoff for Season 2, RenewCancelTV has confirmed.
The cancellation comes despite the network renewing Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. for the 2017-18 season.
Deadline adds:
Over the past month of so, there had been some chatter that one of the newer Chicago-set shows, likely Chicago Justice, might not continue. As can be expected after 30 years in business, the financial relationship between Wolf and NBC is complex, and, with few exceptions, network drama series are not as lucrative as they used to be, with limited opportunities in the SVOD and cable off-network space. There have been no syndication sales yet for Chicago Fire, finishing Season 5, or Chicago P.D, wrapping Season 4.
That said, the mothership Chicago Fire is NBC’s second-highest-rated and most watched drama series behind breakout This Is Us. All Chicago shows have performed respectably and are efficiently produced. For its freshman season, Chicago Justice averaged a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating (Live+7) vs. 1.9 for Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med and 2.3 or Chicago Fire.
RIP.

Ecas says
May 29, 2017 at 23:32I hate that this showed got cancelled. I’m tired of good shows getting cancelled.

June 7, 2017 at 13:37I totally agree with you.
What a shame.
Lori says
May 23, 2017 at 09:09That’s awful! The show barely got time! Well, a certain police officer who began on Chicago Fire and then was moved to Chicago PD and then got ripped away to join this cast, which was fine.. until now.. I surely hope he finds his way back to Chicago PD.
Jim Kay says
May 29, 2017 at 11:54Agree. John Seda as Antonio Dawson is terrific. In light of the Casey cliffhanger on Fire, I suspect Gabby will need her brother by her side.
Ina says
May 31, 2017 at 12:20Me, too!
Nikki says
May 23, 2017 at 10:41Another mistake! If they were going to shi*can one of the Chicago series to end, they could have chosen Med and that “pick” would have made more sense. But then, when to the networks ever make sense?
Ann says
May 23, 2017 at 10:58Hate Chicago Justice did not get renewed. Enjoy Chicago Fire & Med & was enjoying Justice also.
Maryann says
May 23, 2017 at 15:07What a mistake. Such a good show. Can’t believe the garbage they leave on and dump the good stuff. All 4 shows connected so well. Any chance they will reconsider. Hope so.
Emily says
May 23, 2017 at 21:51Not surprised in a way as the lead charactor was too arrogant and it was basically another law and order show…
Coalan says
May 24, 2017 at 10:52Well said Emily as was thinking that he and the main female were right smug gits, him , understand a bit given he has the time in, her nah still to green for that kind of smug arrogant look they both displayed and to think Apollo asked to leave Colony for this show. Hope they send the other two to CPD as dont like the new actress on CPD and think Erin is leaving so she can replace her
Jim Kay says
May 29, 2017 at 11:57I’m a fan of the Chicago series but I have to agree that this version tended to stretch the boundaries a bit. The cases always seem to require going around the law and became hard to believe. I’m cursed as a lawyer on this. Sure the others do the same – is it just me or does Fire cover the whole city? Nevertheless, I won’t miss this one that much.

May 24, 2017 at 21:00maybe beau can come back to colony now. i hope so.
faunmax says
May 26, 2017 at 13:45This wasn’t;t a bad show, just too many to keep up with. When they cross over that’s 4 show you have to commit too. I gave up on Chicago PD too. Sophia Bush is too political for me.
Lori says
May 26, 2017 at 20:00Sadly, for her fans, Sophia Bush is leaving Chicago PD.
Kylie says
May 26, 2017 at 23:59Noooooooooooooooooo please say this isn’t true!
faunmax says
May 26, 2017 at 13:46They wanted this show to fail that’s why they put it on sunday.
Brenda says
May 28, 2017 at 11:43I loved Chicago Justice. WATCH all the Chicago shows.
jackie lemke says
May 29, 2017 at 09:27Why do all the good shows get canceled?
Tana Reimer says
May 29, 2017 at 11:41Really disgusting, loved this show as well as all the Chicago shows. Certainly have had a lot of my favorite shows cancelled this season. Can just add this to the list of on-going decent TV shows being cancelled while they keep renewing stupid REALITY shows.
Patricia says
May 29, 2017 at 12:57I agree
Mary Davis says
May 29, 2017 at 12:37This is soooooooooo stupid!!! Such a great, smart show!!!! What will they replace it with??? More dumb reality shows!??? I will really miss this show
Patricia says
May 29, 2017 at 13:02I love the Chicago shows they keep taking the shows off that I like I really hate these reality shows they have gotten so boring
Betty Morrow says
May 29, 2017 at 13:41I love this show, this is a mistake. I can’t believe the networks cancelled this show. I would love to run the network. I would save a lot of good shows.
Lloyd Pritchett says
May 29, 2017 at 13:51I’m mad that it was cancelled. It was a good show, they should have given it more time!
Retired E8 says
May 29, 2017 at 14:35Why, why, why … another good show canceled! God forbid they cancel a “reality” show.
SV says
May 29, 2017 at 17:35NBC is famous for not giving some of the GOOD shows a chance. But if they are “stupidly” funny then you betcha they will be kept.
linda says
May 29, 2017 at 18:41I very rarely comment but…why…They were (are) good. Best of luck to the cast. Cheers
Ecas says
May 29, 2017 at 23:46It’s a shame that another good show got cancelled.
Doris Robinson says
May 30, 2017 at 15:25love this show love all the chicago series please give more of a chance do not cancel show
Caps says
May 30, 2017 at 17:08I’m a fan of fire, pd, med. That said, I figured this would be canceled as quite a few of the 13 episodes were really lame. Also agree about Mr. Dawson getting a raw deal as he was good on pd.
Carol says
June 7, 2017 at 15:05Producing another ‘Chicago’ show was chancy to say the least, but since they did it should have been given more than one season to prove themselves. They were just beginning to find their niche
Barbara says
July 10, 2017 at 08:54I hate this Good show
Lee says
July 13, 2017 at 09:45I’m gonna miss this show…bummer.
Kel says
July 20, 2017 at 18:00NBC messed up on this one! Show fit in perfectly with the “Chicago” series shows. I’m tired of good, decent shows being cancelled while utter trash is renewed season after season.
Fran says
November 7, 2017 at 23:29They’re taking alot of really good shows off the air,its unreal.
