The crime drama won't return for Season 2.
May 8, 2015
Fox has cancelled Backstrom after one season. The freshman crime dramedy was Rainn Wilson's first prime time starring role since his eight year stint on The Office. The midseason series started with decent ratings but lost a lot of its audience as the weeks went on, concluding at a series low on April 30.

Damn shame. The show was fantastic. However I had a feeling this would happen. They really need to move away from 'Live' viewership as if it mattered.

I'm you. I'm a television mucky-muck. I don't want to pay actors. I don't want to pay writers. I'll start a new reality show and cancel Backstrom. I'll get a bonus. Screw the thoughtful public.

I was really starting to enjoy Backstrom, it was entertaining the characters were great and I loved all of the innuendos. And truthfully I got tired of Bones which I stopped watching two years ago. Stop pulling shows that have some substance that those of us in our 50s and 60s enjoy.

I just found out Backstrom was cancelled. This is B.S. I looked forward to watching it. I think he says what people are really thinking. But we live in too much of a political correct world for it to be accepted.

I just found this show and liked it. The exec's need to earn their pay so "cancel" is the word of the day.

i think i've stopped watching when he stopped drinking and smoking and they brought an ex-wife into the show. just lost it's edge within a few episodes...

A quirky but truly enjoyable show. Too many "events" competed with it. It is a shame the plug has been pulled. I am you. I rethink the decisions I have made lately and I realize Backstrum needs another run.

Hey dips**t The ratings were low because they put it up against Scandle?! What did you think would happen? Fox dropped the ball and the show payed the price? God forbid they couldn't put on Monday nights up against DWTS any things better then watching that crap? Product placement is everything? Stupidity is ever present!

FOX re-ups "The Simpsons" for two more seasons but cancels one of the most original crime procedurals I have ever seen. Why did the have to do that?!
