CBS has effectively cancelled BrainDead after one season, with the network dumping the freshman comic thriller to Sundays and replacing it with Scorpion repeats, per THR:

The network is moving its freshman series BrainDead to Sundays at 10 p.m. beginning Sunday, July 24 and replacing the low-rated comic thriller with repeats of Scorpion. Scorpion will first return to Mondays on July 18 at 9 p.m., leading into the network’s hourlong primetime coverage of the Republican National Convention at 10 p.m. Two weeks later, after primetime coverage of the Democratic National Convention on July 25, Scorpion will move back an hour to 10 p.m. — its normal timeslot during the regular season.

Here’s the updated schedule:

Monday, July 18 8-8:30 PM MOM 8:30-9 PM 2 BROKE GIRLS 9-10 PM SCORPION 10-11 PM CAMPAIGN 2016: REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Sunday, Effective July 24 8-9 PM BIG BROTHER 9-10 PM MADAM SECRETARY 10-11 PM BRAINDEAD (New Time Period) Monday, July 25 8-8:30 PM MOM 8:30-9 PM 2 BROKE GIRLS 9-10 PM SCORPION 10-11 PM CAMPAIGN 2016: DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Monday, Effective Aug. 1 8-8:30 PM MOM 8:30-9 PM 2 BROKE GIRLS 9-9:30 PM MOM 9:30-10 PM THE ODD COUPLE 10-11 PM SCORPION (New Time Period)

Coupled with BrainDead‘s low-ratings, scheduling moves like this usually signal cancellation – and has the reaper sharpening his blade.

BrainDead entered the world with a four-season plan, which now looks extremely optimistic.

Can BrainDead survive its Sunday shift, or is it indeed dead after one season? Stay tuned…
