Overview
- CBS, which announced the decisions Friday, canceled sophomore drama Watson and freshman comedy DMV as it locked its 2026–27 schedule.
- Watson’s series finale airs May 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, and DMV’s final episode runs May 11 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT.
- Nielsen figures show recent episodes at about 3.1 million live-plus-same-day viewers for Watson and 2.8 million for DMV, placing both near the bottom of CBS’s scripted rankings.
- The cuts came after rapid renewals for midseason entries Marshals and CIA and new series orders for Cupertino and Einstein that helped set next season’s lineup.
- After the cancellations, cast members such as Watson’s Rochelle Aytes encouraged fans to tune in for the remaining episodes.
