We also thank our loyal viewers and look forward to providing them with a final run of compelling episodes filled with the humor, intelligence and twists that have made the drama a fan favorite.”Bull has had a rollercoaster run.

The series, headlined by NCIS fan favorite Weatherly, got off to a hot start, becoming an instant ratings hit. Six seasons in, it has remained a solid performer, drawing audiences in three different time slots, most recently Thursday 10 PM this season.But Weatherly early on became the center of a controversy over sexual harassment allegations made by former co-star Eliza Dushku.
