The new CBS medical drama “3 Lbs, which stars Stanley Tucci, will be pulled from the schedule after three unsuccessful weeks on the air.
The series premiered on November 14 to a weak 9.86M viewers and has been declining each week. According to preliminary numbers, its third, and most likely final aired episode, averaged 7.95M viewers and a 2.4/6 in adults 18-49.
CBS has yet to officially confirm the shows cancellation.
8 episodes of the series have been filmed and it is not yet known whether CBS will air the remaining episodes at a later time. Its possible they may choose to run them on their online video service Innertube.
The time slot will likely be filled by an hour repeat of one of many crime procedurals CBS has at their disposal.
