True Lies Canceled After One Season by CBS

CBS has canceled True Lies after one 13-episode season. The drama was CBS’s sole scripted midseason show this season, and aired most of its episodes after reruns of FBI. While it had solid retention, ratings were simply too low. Its 0.24 A18-49 Live + Same Day average matches that of former time slot occupant The Real Love Boat and trails everything else CBS aired this season. Additionally, True Lies is owned by Disney, further complicating its chances for renewal. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
