The Unicorn Canceled by CBS

The Unicorn has gone extinct, as CBS has canceled the comedy series after two seasons. The series was reporedly an internal favorite at CBS, but its ratings were simply too abysmal to justify another season. It was the third lowest-rated show on CBS, ahead of only SWAT and Clarice, and averaged a 0.45 in the 18-49 demo in season two. It had a shortened second season and often aired episodes behind repeats, and didn't seem to have much going for it. The series, which starred Walton Goggins, Michaela Watkins, Rob Corddry, Omar Miller and Maya Lynne Robinson, ran for thirty-one episodes over its two seasons. This is a correct prediction for the TV Ratings Guide.

Weekly Questions #3: An Open-Ended Discussion

 

The Unicorn Renewed for Season Two

The Unicorn will be back for a second season on CBS. The sitcom was a middling performer for CBS that had modest retention of lead-in Young Sheldon, but it seems to have been well-liked by CBS and was still their #2 new sitcom this season. The show received a shorter episode order than the usual sitcom, with a back-five instead of the usual back-nine, but that may have been an issue of too little space vs. an actual sign that CBS wasn't happy with the show. Walton Goggins stars in the series alongside Michaela Watkins, Rob Corddry, Omar Miller and Maya Lynne Robinson. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
