NBC Cancels Do No Harm After Two Episodes; SVU Repeats to Fill Thursday Void
NBC has permanently suppressed Dr. Cole’s evil alter ego.
The network on Friday afternoon pulled the plug on its Jekyll-and-Hyde-esque medical thriller Do No Harm after just two anemically rated episodes.
The freshman drama’s Jan. 31 debut garnered 3.1 million total viewers and a 0.9 demo rating, making it the lowest-rated, in-season debut of any scripted Big 4 series ever. This week’s second installment fared worse, dropping to just over 2 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating.
Do No Harm wrapped production on its initial 13-episode order last month; it’s unclear if the 11 remaining episodes will see the light of day.
Encores of Law & Order: SVU will fill the Thursday-at-10 void through Feb. 21. It’s possible that Bryan Fuller’s anticipated Hannibal will take over the time slot in the spring.
TVLine’s 2013 Renewal Scorecard has been updated with the news.
