NBC Cancels Trauma

NBC has opted not to pick up additional episodes from Trauma beyond the freshman drama’s original 13-episode order. The big-budget action medical drama from UMS has been in limbo after a weak start behind Heroes. It got a glimpse of hope this week when, against CBS repeats, it showed a small ratings uptick, prompting the network to book the series for three more weeks. The series now will finish production on its 13-episode order before winding down.
