CBS Cancelling DMV Feels A Lot More Painful Now That The End Date Is In Sight

The weeks are counting down.

The majority of the news out of CBS in the 2026 TV schedule so far has been positive, starting out the new year with ten renewals and wasting no time on ordering a second season of Marshals and a second season of CIA. Alas, there was bad news for the last two shows that were on the cancellation bubble: comedy DMV and medical drama Watson, both of which got the axe. The network revealed the finale dates just hours before the newest episode of DMV, and the end feels a lot more imminent now.

DMV Is Ending After One Season

DMV was cancelled in the evening of Friday, March 27, so fans had the weekend to process that the end was nigh before CBS officially released when the series finale will hit the airwaves. The comedy premiered back in October 2025 as the network's only new sitcom of the season, and the odds seemed good at the time of at least a second season in light of The Neighborhood ending and cutting down CBS' count of comedies.

Plus, with SNL vet Tim Meadows and Colin from Accounts alum Harriet Dyer on board, there were some strong comedic actors. (Cast member Alex Tarrant's bad luck streak on CBS continues after NCIS: Hawai'i was abruptly cancelled in 2024.) Nevertheless, DMV was one of CBS' lowest-rated shows, and the network now has a slot available for a new half-hour comedy in the 2026-2027 TV schedule. The comedy ranks as one of the most disappointing TV cancellations of the spring so far….
