Uh, oh! USA Network cancels 'Shooter' - No season 4 for the Ryan Phillippe drama
Sad news for 'Shooter' fans, their favorite series has been dropped and will not be renewed for a fourth season. The USA Network has decided to cancel out the Ryan Phillippe drama just after three seasons, reports Deadline. The show which commenced in 2016 is currently airing its third season on Thursdays at 10/9c, with five episodes still to run. The third season's rating shot down to an average of 740,000 viewers and was under a 2.0 demo rating, much less than Season 2' 1.25 mil/0.35.
'Shooter,' an adaptation of Stephen Hunter's book 'Point of Impact,' follows the story of Bob Lee Swagger. The book was turned into a film in 2007 by Antoine Fuqua and shared the same name. A highly-considered Marine Corps sniper, played by Ryan Phillippe, Bob is pulled into the action when he is assigned by his commanding officer Issac Johnson (played by ER‘s Omar Epps) to protect the President of the United States from a possible threat.
