If not for the incredibly low licensing fee for the series, NBC might have already cancelled the show. According to Reuters, Sony and Entertainment One sold "The Firm" to international networks, "to cover almost the entire cost of production before they sold it to NBC. That means that NBC pays a much lower licensing fee for the series to air."
The show isn't expected to do any better in "Saturday-night TV's no-man's land," which may lead to it being cancelled in the near future.
The Thursday slot will be taken by the upcoming Sci-Fi drama "Awake," which is set to air March 1. Until then, NBC will air reruns of the fantasy series "Grimm."
"Awake" stars Jason Issacs (Harry Potter, The Patriot) as a detective leading a double life--in two different realities.
