canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Awake: Cancelled; No Season Two

by Trevor Kimball, May 12, 2012

Awaked canceled by NBC, no season 2It’s the nightmare NBC’s Awake fans were dreading. NBC has cancelled the show after 13 episodes and one season.

Created by Kyle Killen (Lone Star), Awake revolves around a police detective (Jason Isaacs) who, after being in a horrific car accident, finds that he’s living in two realities. In one, his son perished — in the other, his wife did. The cast also includes Laura Allen, Steve Harris, Dylan Minnette, B. D. Wong, Michaela McManus, Wilmer Valderrama, and Cherry Jones.

The complex drama had an unimpressive debut back on March 1st, registering a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.24 million viewers. NBC had released the pilot episode well in advance so some believed that hurt the premiere ratings.

Should Awake have been cancelled?

Theoretically the second episode should have shown signs of growth but it didn’t. Week two dropped 20%. Week three remained stable but subsequent weeks saw additional declines. Last week’s episode hit a new low with a dismal 0.7 rating and just 2.15 million viewers.

This season has averaged a 1.1 rating in the demographic with 3.5 million total viewers. Awake is the third-lowest rated drama on the network, beating only Harry’s Law and The Firm (both of which have been cancelled as well). On our NBC Ratings Report Card, which measures the relative demo performance of shows on the network, Awake has a “D+” grade.

TV show supportNBC has now cancelled Awake and the series finale is on track to air Thursday, May 24th. While it wasn’t intended as a series finale, Killen has said that he believes the finale is very satisfying.

What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Awake has been cancelled and won’t be back for a second season? Was the series too complicated for most TV viewers or did it have other problems?

I watched the first season when it was running on NBC. I’m here on this page because I still have a sort of PTSD that this hasn’t had at least a season 2 to tie up my theories. All of our theories. Shame. I was always hoping Netflix would have picked it up and resurrected it to fame, a la family guy.

Hopefully in a few years it reboots with an equally great cast and goes 4 to 5 seasons

I just finished episode 13, truly captivating series!!! That was honestly the best show I have seen this year! I am totally disappointed in NBC! I would definitely watch more series! I have already told so many of my friends and family to watch this! I know they too will be disappointed. NBC doesn’t know what the viewers want!

I just watched the series on Netflix. Although the acting and directing were strong, the plot had no where to go? I see only 3 outcomes. 1 , One reality is true and the other is false, thereby making a groaning dissapointment. 2 , Neither are true, making us hate the show for wasting our time. 3 , Both are true, making our hero the first person able to exist in multiple universes, which turns the whole thing into something it’s not meant to be.
