CBS reduces 'Numbers' order

CBS has cut back its episode order for crime procedural Numbers.

The network will now order 16 episodes instead of 22. The series, currently in its sixth season, has slipped in the ratings this year, leading to the reduced order, says The Hollywood Reporter. The most recent episode attracted 7.9 million viewers.

A decision has not been made about Numbers’ future beyond the 16-episode order, a rep for CBS said.

Numbers stars Rob Morrow, David Krumholtz and Judd Hirsch.
