Ransom Canceled by CBS After Three Seasons

Ransom, the only original scripted Saturday program on broadcast, has been canceled after three seasons on CBS. The show was very steady this season, but even its incredibly low cost (due to it being internationally co-produced) couldn't make up for it being watched by pretty much nobody. It averaged a 0.26 this season, completely even with its season two average. Luke Roberts, Nazneen Contractor, and Brandon Jay McLaren starred in the series.

Ransom Renewed for Season 3

CBS has decided to pay the Ransom once again, renewing the series for season three. The internationally co-produced drama costs the network very little and helps keep the lights on on Saturday nights. With 0.3s being the norm for the show, it cleary isn't a hit, but its also apparently enough to justify whatever cost CBS is putting up for the show. Luke Roberts and Nazneen Contractor star in the show.
