Its cancellation, as reported by TVLine, was basically assured not only by dwindling ratings – the viewership dropped from the premiere’s 4.5 million to a late-season low of 1.7 million people – but also by the creators taking on the gig as showrunners for the upcoming Good Wife spinoff heading to CBS All Access.
That’s almost certainly the case with BrainDead, the conspiratorial bugs-in-politics series from The Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King.
Though there was a four-season plan for BrainDead when it was conceived, it’s hard to go anywhere without a creative team.
Hopefully we get to see this talented cast land new jobs immediately.
