CBS tends not to miss very often with its new shows, especially its procedural cop shows, but it does happen. And it looks like it's happened with "Stalker."

CBS has been maintaining a pretty strong renewal average with its new shows for the past few years. This year, three of its four new dramas were renewed for second seasons: "Scorpion," "Madam Secretary," and "NCIS: New Orleans" (which wasn't much of a surprise). That just leaves out "Stalker."

The show was officially put on hiatus after its Feb. 18 episode, which, considering there are only a couple of episodes left in its season, likely means cancelation.

The series started out all right in the ratings, but it's been getting weaker. The most recent episode pulled in just 6.7 million sets of eyes. That may seem like a lot, but by CBS standards it's not great. (By comparison, the "NCIS: New Orleans" episode that aired the day before was watched by 14.7 million people.)

CBS gave it a full-season order back in October, but so far only 17 have aired. That means there are a few episodes left, but not enough that this could just be a mid-season break. It's more likely CBS will just air the leftovers in a slow period this spring or summer.

This is, of course, assuming that it doesn't get renewed, which is not official yet.

The series stars Maggie Q and Dylan McDermott as members of an elite police squad that hunts stalkers in Los Angeles. Q and McDermott are a couple in real life, so not only would cancelation be a disappointment for fans, but it would also ruin their sweet carpooling arrangement.
