Forest Whitaker, you deserved better: CBS has cancelled the low-rated freshman drama Suspect Behavior, which was a spinoff of the Criminal Minds mother ship. The network has found great success with spinning off its other procedurals like CSI and JAG, but it just didn’t work out for Suspect Behavior, a dark drama that also featured Janeane Garofolo and Matt Ryan.
The show’s ouster should make room for either the new drama Unforgettable, which features Poppy Montgomery and is about a female NYPD detective who possesses the special ability to remember everything, or The 2-2, which is from Robert De Niro and follows six NYPD rookies as they balance their personal lives with learning the beat on the streets of Manhattan. Both dramas were ordered this week.
CBS will announce its fall schedule Wednesday in New York.
