The remake of the BBC series debuted soft, drawing only 6 million viewers in its Thursday at 10/9c timeslot. Its latest outing drew 4.86 million viewers. After ordering six more scripts of the cop drama last month, NBC did a big push to drive viewers, airing repeats every weeknight at 10/9c for a week, along with an airing on Saturday night.
The news comes one day after NBC released its midseason schedule without a slot for the show. Other shows missing from the lineup include new series Bent and Awake.
