Mind Gameshas been canceled after just five episodes, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
The drama, which starred Christian Slater and Steve Zahn as brothers who work in psychological manipulation, debuted in February to 3.6 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the adults 18-to-49 demographic. Those numbers are on par with the equally dismal debuts of the now-canceled dramas Lucky 7 and Killer Women in the same time slot this season. Mind Games' most-recent episode drew 2.06 million and an 0.7 in the demo.
