FOX has lowered the ax on Almost Human. The show has been cancelled after one season of 13 episodes.
Taking place in the future, Almost Human follows the partnership of a distrustful cop (Karl Urban) and an android capable of emotion (Michael Ealy). The cast also includes Minka Kelly, Mackenzie Crook, Michael Irby, and Lili Taylor.
The series started strongly in the ratings but the numbers declined over the course of the season. The season finale hit a series low with a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.6 million total viewers.
Almost Human was reportedly still in the running for a second season until recently. Apparently several of FOX’s new pilots are strong contenders for next season so network execs have decided to let Almost Human go.
What do you think? Did you like this series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
fox has a great “tradition” of cancelling shows and placing something tepid in its place go back to Brisco County and others as well
I am very disappointed to learn that Almost Human will not have a second season. I suspected as much when I was checking out Entertainment Weekly and did not see the show listed last week as returning.
The show had great potential, and I can’t believe that Fox pulled the plug without giving the show a chance. Poor judgement, Fox!
Loved this show. Please reconsider putting out season 2
So disappointed! It was a great show; unique ideas, great effects, interesting characters.
Please Fox, reconsider!
I loved that show. It’s a shame that they don’t give a show any chance anymore. All
they want is these stupid reality shows. I can’t get into that. They need to get back to the way it was in the 70’s 80’s and part of the 90’s. Bring back the neilson ratings.
Poor judgement by fox an excellent show with high talent casting it did not help that in the UK it was broadcast out of order. I hope Abrahams takes this on as a movie, with scripts this good it’s a seat filler. Again bad decision fox.
I just don’t understand who makes these decisions, I thought these people got paid to know what people like to watch. I was very impressed with Almost Human and couldn’t wait for the next season. I hope some other network will pick it up.
This is a great show figures it’s cancelled. It was a very creative show which is hard to find nowadays. Maybe TNT or Tbs or USA will pick it up like they did cougar town.
Cancelled…they must be crazy as FOX!
As usual, network tv is catering to those with diminished capacity, instead of running with the creative and thought provoking concepts. It’s going to be more ridiculous reality tv and celebrity drama. Here comes idiocracy. All hail “ouch my balls”!
Fox made another huge mistake. This was a great show with some strong actors.
I thought this was a GREAT show! This makes you not wanna NOT watch anything new because as soon as you think this is the show…..Fox cancels it.
This is one of my favorite TV shows of all time! I makes me so sad this it got cancelled
This season was horrible for new shows. It appears that all the networks just threw a bunch of new shows on and there were just so many to watch that none of them did really well. So a lot of them got canceled, “Almost Human” is one of them. The show I found to be very entertaining and enjoyable to watch. It also had a lot of stories to offer and was building a good base to build on for several season worth of entertainment. I am very sad that it wasn’t continued, and even more horrified at some of… Read more »
FOX has a nasty habit of canceling great shows with top notch creative people behind them. Like Firefly, Almost Human is a well-written, well-crafted, well-acted program with stunning effects and plots that actually hold my interest. But, also like Firefly, you can kiss it goodbye in its current form. Hopefully, much like Joss Whedon did with Firefly, JJ Abrams will find a way to continue the franchise in movie form, although for me, that only allows for a less elaborate story. Let’s face it, FOX has no faith in science fiction.
