The new drama is pulled from the schedule.
February 24, 2017
After just two weeks on the air, CBS has pulled the plug on its mid-season drama Doubt. The freshman series is the latest starring vehicle for Katherine Heigl, who has yet to find a long-term gig on broadcast television since her 5-year Emmy-winning turn on Grey's Anatomy.
Doubt is a legal drama that starred Heigl as a top attorney who starts to fall for one of her clients who may or may not be guilty of murdering his past girlfriend. Premiering February 15 in the 10:00pm time slot, the series struggled out of the gate with its first two episodes losing in the ratings to both Chicago PD and Match Game by a considerable margin.
With such low viewership, the network opted to cut its losses and has removed the show from its schedule effective immediately. Replacing Doubt next week will be a rerun of Bull. Starting the following Wednesday, March 8, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders will fill CBS' 10:00pm time slot.
As for the unaired episodes of Doubt, it is currently not clear whether they will ever see the light of day. All 13 ordered episodes have already been produced, so it is possible we will see them burnt off at a later date.

I hope no one waste their money for CBS all access.

Did not have high hopes for this one. I hadn't seen much advertising for it - or any, to be honest. My dad likes to try just about anything once and after watching one episode the best he could say was "it might be watchable". Cancelled after 2 episodes is bad enough, but being replaced by reruns is really adding insult to injury.
I wanted to see it to succeed for Dule Hill since I'm a huge fan of Psych but here we are...

I called it. The second they cast that Trans guy Roderick Cox into the show, Katherine Heigl was once again doomed to a cancelled show. No one wants to watch a show with that ridiculousness in it. Hollywood has completely lost the pulse of its consumers and only panders to the outer fringe kooks now.

Jeez.....cancelled already!!! While i wouldn't call it great, the show certainly wasn't bad (there is much worse that gets renewed). I think they could have at least tried a different night or time slot since the remaining episodes are already finished. Hopefully they'll air the remaining episodes this summer or at least online so that the time spent watching the first few won't be a total waste. If a network is going to air any show with a story that continues through a season, then they should have the decency to air the entire season. Otherwise, I'm only going to start watching shows where the story concludes within each episode ( CSI, SVU, Criminal Minds, etc).
