The doctor is out. There won’t be a second season of the Complications TV show. USA Network has decided to cancel the drama series after one season of 10 episodes.
Complications follows a disillusioned suburban doctor (Jason O’Mara) who’s still dealing with the emotional effects of his young daughter’s death from cancer. He unexpectedly becomes a vigilante hero when he intervenes in a drive-by shooting, saving a 12-year-old boy’s life. The rest of the cast includes Jessica Szohr, Lauren Stamile, Chris Chalk, Beth Riesgraf, and RonReaco Lee.
The series got off to a lackluster start in the ratings in late June with a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.91 million viewers. Viewership saw a big drop in week two and remained pretty poor for the rest of the season. The 10 episodes ended up averaging a 0.35 in the demo with 1.44 million.
Except for Suits, all of USA’s existing dramas have been way down year-to-year and none of their new ones have been a hit in the ratings (including Mr. Robot).
Despite Complications’ ratings challenges, USA was still considering bringing the show back for a second season. Deadline reports that execs had secured a four-day extension on the cast contracts while they made their final decision. Execs tried to work out an economically feasable deal with Fox 21 TV Studios for a second season but, in the end, it didn’t happen.
The final episode of Complications aired on August 13th.
What do you think? Did you like the Complications TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season, perhaps on another channel?
Yes. What’s the deal..Graceland and complications cancelled. Ridiculous!! Nothing left for me on usa.
Definitely was looking forward to a second season and now very disappointed to have come on here to find out it was canceled. Please bring it back!
I LOVED this show idc what the ratings are bring back the show
Complications was a great show and I was looking forward to seeing it come back. I’m sure the network execs and writers could come up with more great stories for the show. Each week it was action packed and interesting. The characters were very good. Please consider bringing it back. I loved the show.
I’m totally dissapointed! Loved this show and had been looking forward to season 2
Im so mad they cancelled Complications! Im 46 yrs old and it was the first show my 20 yr old son and I watched together and you took it from us! Thats so frustrating. I wont watch USA anymore!!!
The show should have a second season! I was really dissapointed reading this article. My sister and I loved watching this show together. My grandma also watched it. It’s too bad its been canceled.
Complications was an excellent show with great actors. I was looking forward to a 2nd season..so unhappy to hear it has been cancelled…
I really enjoyed this program and am very frustrated to learn it has been cancelled.
I love this show I’m upset its no season 2
My husband and I LOVE this show. We were looking forward to the second season. I think they need to find a way to bring it back.
They should find a way to bring it back! You are definitely right. This was the only show I liked on this network and I feel that they probably lost a lot of viewers due to the cancelation of this show.
I am disappointed that USA cancelled “Complications”. No classes this Spring. I was looking for the show on demand and could not find it anywhere. I previously recorded a few episodes. And stop because it was also on demand. Please USA bring back “Complications” for season ll. You had something great going on there. Don’t let it go.
i agree with am complications was a great show! it seems when usa has a good show they cxl it, makes me want to boycott usa network all together
Complications was one of your best shows and once again you disappoint
What a bummer! Wish this show could have a second season. If not, then perhaps the network would consider a movie that could wrap everything up– and not leave us on the edge of our seat! MORE PLEASE!
I was waiting for Season 2. There is not enough other people’s reality on TV now. Please bring the show back. Great cast.
I agree too many reality shows. They never give new shows a chance. I loved this show and hope someone will pick it up.
