NBC Reduces The Cape Episode Order
The Cape
NBC has cut the initial episode order for The Cape down from 13 episodes to 10, TVGuide.com confirmed.
News is not too surprising: Ratings for the superhero drama have fallen steadily since the show's premiere in January. Monday's episode drew 5.3 million viewers, down from the previous week's 5.7 million, and two-hour premiere's 8.4 million.
Ratings: The Cape continues downward trajectory
A rep for the show says NBC plans to air the remaining episodes as scheduled.
The Cape stars David Lyons as Vince Faraday, an honest police detective who turns into a caped vigilante after he is framed for a murder he didn't commit. Keith David, Summer Glau and James Frain also star in the series.
