CBS Takes “Bull” by the Horns, Cancels Michael Weatherly Legal Series After Six Seasons
Say goodbye to “Bull.”
The Michael Weatherly legal show has been canceled by CBS after six seasons.
Weatherly came to “Bull” after many seasons on “NCIS.” He was a favorite of Les Moonves, who loved him on the latter show and worked to promote him to his own show.
“Bull” was problematic during its run. The show and Weatherly were sued by actress Eliza Dushku for sexual harassment after a difficult second season. She accepted a settlement of $9.5 million. It’s amazing, actually, that the series continued after that.
Weatherly could possibly return to “NCIS,” although a full time gig seems unlikely after he was paid to be the lead on “Bull.”
Hello all! It’s been my privilege to play Dr Jason Bull but after 6 Seasons of incredible storylines, I’ve decided it’s time to pursue new creative challenges and bring his story to a close. It has been an honor to work with this talented cast, crew, 1/2
