'True Lies' Cancellation Leaves Fans Disappointed

By Megan Behnke - May 13, 2023 10:18 pm EDT

After only one season, CBS canceled action drama True Lies. Based on the 1994 film of the same name, the series didn't bring in the same traction the movie did and wound up being one of two new shows of the season that got the ax. With the two-part finale airing next week, there's no telling how the season will come to an end, and now that it's not coming back, it will bring more worry to the fans.

Speaking of fans, the show's loyal followers quickly took to social media to vent their feelings about the cancellation. In the midst of many shows being renewed or canceled these days, True Lies' news just adds on to a growing pile of shows that are no more. Very appropriately, fans are disappointed and feeling a whole lot of emotions.

This Cancellation Season is Brutal

So four of my shows got cancelled: #KungFu #BigSky #TheCompanyYouKeep AND #TrueLies. It was a bloodbath for me. Ugh. This sucks. Well this is why streaming is the game these days, nothing left of interest on broadcast except NCIS/Rookie/FBI franchises.

"Hating this cancelation season. Fox canceled #911onFOX but it thankfully moved to ABC, #SWAT was canceled but then saved for 1 final short season, #NCISLA was canceled, #TheResident was canceled , #BigSky just got canceled and so did #TrueLies [and] #TheCompanyYouKeep," one fan pointed out. "

Some Fans are Fine With the Cancellation

I'm not surprised it was cancelled, it was watchable with a good premise but they somehow made a show about spies bland, that was the issue#truelies
