Necessary Roughness: Canceled by USA
Matt Richenthal at .Dr. Dani has seen her final patient.
Following a third season that packed in the special guest stars, led by recurring player John Stamos, USA Network has canceled Necessary Roughness.
“We are proud of this show and its writers, which had a unique ability to address topical subjects before they unfolded in real life on the sports pages,” said USA in a statement. “We want to thank [creators] Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro, the incredible cast led by Golden Globe nominee Callie Thorne and our partners at Sony Television.”
The series, which was led by Callie Thorne as a psychologist, averaged around four million viewers per week over three seasons.
