DMV Season 2: Will CBS Renew It or Pull the Plug?
CBS has locked its next-season lineup, and fans of DMV want answers. After the freshman comedy wrapped its first run, is it cleared for Season 2 or headed for cancellation? Here’s where things stand.
So, if you were holding out hope that CBS’s new workplace comedy 'DMV' was coming back for another season, you might want to sit down. Here’s exactly what’s happening with the show, why it got the axe, and what you can check out if you’re still curious about all the hijinks at the East Hollywood DMV.
What Happened to 'DMV'?
Despite picking up a bit of an audience thanks to its group of dysfunctional DMV workers and the unending stream of oddball customers (relatable, right?), 'DMV' has officially been canceled after just one season. CBS confirmed the news as it rolled out its TV slate for the 2026–27 season, making it clear that the May 11 episode was the end of the road.
‘The network has made the official decision to cancel the sitcom, which means it will not be returning for Season 2.’
If you’re reading between the lines, the main reason 'DMV' didn’t make the cut was low viewership. It just didn’t pull in enough eyes for CBS to keep it around, and with the network shuffling its comedy lineup, something had to go. And that something was this show.
What Was 'DMV' Actually About?
Let’s be honest—if you ever wondered what a sitcom set inside the chaos of a real-life DMV would look like, this was it. The series, created by Dana Klein, followed a pretty quirky (read: sometimes borderline incompetent) group of DMV employees as they tried to survive another day of unpredictable customers and cringe-worthy office drama. East Hollywood never looked so hectic.
The Main Cast (Yes, It’s a Solid Lineup)

Want to Catch Up?
Even though the show’s not coming back, all episodes of 'DMV' Season 1 are still streaming over on CBS and Paramount+. So if you feel like wallowing in what could have been, or you just want to see Tim Meadows try to keep the DMV from burning down (figuratively), all the episodes are there.
Bottom line: 'DMV' was a promising but short-lived attempt to turn the stress and weirdness of a real DMV office into something funny, but with CBS moving in a different direction, this comedy has officially hit the end of the line.
