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?
I loved this show. I can’t believe it was canceled. I know I never missed an episode. I wish there was a way that they could truly count everyone who watches their show. I wonder if it would help if I watched my favorite shows on-line as well as downloading them for later viewing. Then my viewing of the video would be counted. Any thoughts?
I thought Almost Human was getting better with every episode. Really enjoyed watching it. I’d like to cancel Fox.
Awwwww, c’mon…the show was AWESOME, someone shoud definately continue with the second seasond, third..and so on…please !
Awww crap, why was this show cancelled by Fox? I was following this show from the Netherlands and enjoyed it very much. Was taking so long for new episodes so I decided to look it up today and to my horror found out it was cancelled…..BOOOOOO!!!!!
I hope some other network will pick it up
I Love this Show… Kanax and those characters i miss them.. and sorry to hear that Almost Human was cancelled by them. If this show is picked up by another network, I will certainly give that network my loyalty.
This should NOT have been cancelled. My family ages 24, 22 and 54 all loved this program!!! I hope the SYFY channel picks this up and runs the episodes in order. We will definitely watch it. They could have at least given it closure if they were going to cancel it.
Why is it that the networks give us a really good show, and just as we start to really look forward to seeing what will happen next, it is cancelled? Makes me want to not get invested in watching anything new.
I love this show, the chemistry between the actors and the character development. Why is it when a network airs something new and refreshing (that isn’t a gameshow or reality tv) it gets cancelled? I really hope SYFY or another network will pick it up. This show deserves another chance.
I agree.
I’m a Dutch resident and can see this series too. Amongst the few TV series I like, this series is one of them and ranked in my top 5. Every (other) week or so I was anxiously waiting for a new episode. OK, granted, not every episode was an outstanding 10 but which series can level that? The interaction (or rebelliousness) of the main character Lennox and the overall characters has made me enjoy this series. It was not all about Sci-Fi but had all the ingredients, a plot, drama, love, suspense etc… I regret FOX letting this one go… Read more »
the higher ups are not making sense. Many shows need 2 seasons to get their audience together. Good character development and plots. I guess we need yet another 20 phony reality shows instead of good story lines and engaging characters.
I thought this was an excellent series I hate to see it go, I believe it should gotten a 2nd season at least that would of given it a fair shot.
Almost Human was the best show on Foxby far! But when you air the episodes so badly out of order, no wonder the viewers got confused. It looked liked continuation errors! Makes you wonder if someone in charge at Fox wasn’t trying to push another show – if you know what I mean… Just look at Firefly and Dark Angel, same effing story!
I am sorry to hear that Almost Human was cancelled by Fox. It’s been the only Fox show I’ve made an effort to watch on a consistent basis besides 24. If this show is picked up by another network, I will certainly give that network my loyalty.
This was one of the _few_ FOX shows that I enjoyed watching. May give up watching FOX altogether.
My fiance and I are disgusted by the cancelation of Almost Human. We enjoyed the show thoroughly. I don’t feel that the show was given a fair chance. Time slot matters and where they placed it for a 1st season was crappy. Many shows increase during 2nd season. Karl and Michael were great together . We can only hope that it gets picked up by someone else.
