Bluff City Law Cast And The Untold Reason We May Not See Season 2

Quick Facts

After a promising September 23rd debut for Bluff City Law, current statistics seemingly depicts a decline for the American legal drama television series created by Dean Georgaris and Michael Aguilar. Although Bluff City Law has not been officially canceled by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) all indications show that an official statement for the cancellation is on the way unless there is a miracle to save the series. NBC has since opted not to have any additional episodes to go into production even with additional six scripts that were written prior to the legal drama’s debut and were expected to be part of the episodes of the first season. The NBC has aired six episodes of the series so far and Bluff City Law cast will continue to appear on your screen during its Monday 10 pm timeslot until the last of its ten-episodes scheduled to air on the 25th of November, 2019.

The Untold Reason Why There May Not Be A Season 2 of Bluff City Law

Bluff City Law is an American legal drama television series created by Dean Georgaris and Michael Aguilar which tells the story of a lawyer Sydney Strait who gets to work together with her dad Elijah on a tough Civil right case, even though they are not in good terms.

Ratings for the series have continued to dwindle over the weeks with lesser viewers than expected for each new episode. So far the first season of Bluff City Law has an average a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.99 million viewers. The series in its premiere drew a 0.81 rating with 4.61 million viewers. The numbers are disheartening and the producers have since announced that shooting of the series will end on the 31st of October, with the completion of the show’s 10th episode.

NBC had estimated it would spend $35 million in Memphis during its first several months of production with the hope of grossing profitably from the series but this seems unrealizable with the current figures so there is a possible plan to let go of the series without a second season.
