After shifting new drama Extant from 9 PM to 10 PM earlier this week, CBS also is moving the finale of the sci-fi series starring Halle Berry. Extant was slated to end its season with a two-hour finale from 9-11 PM on premiere Tuesday, Sept. 24, following the season premiere of Survivor.
Instead, it will wrap the season the previous week, Sept. 17, with an hourlong installment airing at 10 PM. Sept. 24 will now be an all-reality night on CBS, with an expanded, 90-minute opener of Survivor leading to a 90-minute season finale of Big Brother. The move keeps Extant away from premiere week competition. Also, the sci-fi drama has not fared well with a reality lead-in, leading to CBS’ recent decision to put it behind a Criminal Minds rerun instead of airing it after Big Brother as originally scheduled.

ReplyDeleteMight as well announce the cancellation news!
ReplyDeleteSorry guys, I'm not sure if it means there's only 12 episodes :(
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda sad news, I was really enjoying this show.
September 17th and the 24th, are both on Wednesdays, not Tuesdays.
ReplyDeleteThis move to 10pm, messes up my schedule. I watch The Bridge then. So Extant will have to wait, until i have time to watch it on demand.
This sucks! So what about the 2 hr finale? are they really cutting it down to one episode?
ReplyDelete2 episode...
ReplyDeleteConfused and sad. I want answers if they cancel this show!
ReplyDeleteCBS isn't being very nice to this show. I'm enjoying it and the new time and finale date changed I don't think it's going to get better :(
ReplyDeleteNo, that is out of date. All 13 episodes will air.
