DMV – Canceled By CBS After Only One Season

CBS opted not to move forward with another season of DMV. The series finale aired in May 2026 on the network.

Why? It appears to be all about the ratings.

“We aggregate all the numbers, and we have to make those tough decisions in order to make room for new shows,” Amy Reisenbach, CBS Entertainment President, said (via Deadline).

DMV is a single-camera comedy set in the place everyone dreads going most – the Department of Motor Vehicles – where employees are making minimum wage dealing with customers who are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Working at the East Hollywood DMV office are: Colette (Harriet Dyer), a driving examiner with a big heart and bad boundaries; Gregg (Tim Meadows), a misanthropic former English teacher; Vic (Tony Cavalero), a former bouncer who loves putting difficult drivers in their places; Barbara (Molly Kearney), a newly promoted manager who tries hard but often misses the mark; Noa (Alex Tarrant), a charming surfer who seems destined for much greater things; and Ceci (Gigi Zumbado), a scrappy photographer who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Fortunately, this quirky crew has each other to navigate the twists and turns of the DMV together.
