The Red Line has reached the final stop at CBS.
The Eye network has swung the ax on the freshman drama after one low-rated season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"[The show] did not get picked up for a second season, so it will exist as an elegant novel," co-showrunner Sunil Nayar revealed to the website at the Atx Television Festival.
The Red Line ultimately averaged 3.85 million total viewers and a CW-esque 0.36 rating in the adults 18-49 demo.

It was the network's second-lowest rated scripted drama, coming in marginally ahead of Saturday drama Ransom.
The Noah Wyle fronted drama focused on a white cop in Chicago who mistakenly shoots and kills a back doctor.
The series followed three different families with connections to the case, and the story was told from each of their perspectives.

CBS has decided not to pick up “The Red Line” for a second season, a person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap on Friday.

For all that broadcast TV’s power has attenuated in recent years, what they choose to put on still means something — and, from a certain point of view, something more than the choices made by prestige outlets. After all, the reach of broadcasters is without parallel. They’re simply in that many more homes than prestige cablers and streamers, even as their peak audience (or even their audience five years ago) seems unattainable now.
Which makes it important and worth noting when a network makes a choice more ambitious than the mix of family comedies and procedurals that still performs well enough. Not every element of CBS’s new drama “The Red Line,” about the aftermath of a police shooting in Chicago, works perfectly, but the show is trying to do something unusual in today’s landscape — use the big, broad emotional strokes of broadcast at its best to usher...
