After being canceled by CW after one season, “Good Cop/Bad Cop” is also exiting Netflix next month.
In February 2026, the series’s lead star, Luke Cook, confirmed that the John Quaintance-created comedy procedural will not be renewed for a second season.
“Sad to let you know this, but we will not be doing a Season 2 of ‘Good Cop/Bad Cop,'” Cook shared on TikTok. “I loved making that show, I loved making friends with everybody on that cast and crew, and John, who wrote the show. They’re all my great friends, so I’m sad we won’t get to do it again. But thank you to everyone who watched the show, like thank you.”
The actor continued, “People who were like, ‘Oh, there’s Luke, I’m going to watch him in that show.’ It’s very kind, and I’m glad you loved it. Everyone wrote to me and said they loved it, and I’m so glad that you did. I’m sorry that it didn’t work out, and we won’t be doing more of it. But it’s a tough business. Hollywood has the ability to make your dreams come true and also break your heart. Onwards and upwards. Thanks for the support.”
