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?
My mother and I really enjoyed the show and watched each week. We wish it could be brought back. I am almost 60 and she will be 78 on the 6th. Thank you
Well, I guess there is no more reason for me to watch USA. I have all of the NCIS seasons on DVDs. With out Complications, they have nothing to watch
It was a great show. Well worth watching , I told all my friends and family about it an they also enjoyed it.
Complications was an awesome show.
Complications was a really good show. My husband and I loved watching this show and we was looking forward to the second season all to find out it was canceled. We want Complications back please very great show truly missed.
I’m so disappointed that there is not going to be a season 2
This was one of the top three shows on TV. I think all the fans of power and empire, would’ve liked it. I came across it while searching for something to watch one day. Turned out I’d missed most of the episodes and ad to catch up on on demand. It was a great show, I’d love to see season two and three. Mister robot? ?????? Are you kidding me? … bring back complication.
I loved this show I would love to see a season 2 I’ve been looking for the show to come back on
Great show. I think it wasn’t promoted well and was given a poor rating due to this. USA needs to do something
Am so pissed without the 2nd season
So disappointing…I rarely watch TV and the few shows I get hooked on are canceled…bummer.
I’m still in shock that this show what cancelled. I can’t imagine no one watching the show! We had weekly chats about it, I recapping! It’s very disappointing when TV shows don’t get the opportunity to comeback for a second season. It seems like a rash/quick decision for the network to cancel the show!!!!! Not happy at all!
So Disappointed Loved the show please bring it back or at least think about putting it on Netflix with many more seasons or Switch the days you guys air it to catch more views
I loved this show its really good, i want to see next season. :)))
Yes most definatly I would still see it if they decided to bring the show back for a second season.I hope that they do bring it back really soon.
I loved this show. Was so looking forward to another season. I’m so disappointed.
