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?
I really liked the series, I hate it was cancelled and wish another network would pick it up. I use to be a fan of USA network, it was my go station, but don’t watch any longer, nothing really peaks my interest anymore on the network.. Sad just sad.
I liked the show and was looking forward to seeing season 2. I wish they hadn’t cancelled it.
This was an incredible show!!!
I’m incredibly surprised that a second season isn’t going to air. They didn’t give it a fair chance.
I wish it would of been renewed. I really liked it!!!!
This series should have never been cancelled. It seems that the shows with great story lines don’t seem to make it. Puzzling.
BRING IT BACK!!! Only show I liked on that channel! So much that is unknown when it ended. I need closure!
Amazing show…. I loved it!
This was an amazing show .. and not a show that was like Empire priding homosexual relationships or like other shows like Bad Girls Club trying to convince our population that fighting is “cute” .. This show had a story and despite a few things was a realistic situation .. I think the ratings were low due to people simply not knowing wat it was .. I loved that show and wish there was a new season starting soon
This Was By Far The Best Show Aired Last Summer . I Am Shocked It Did Not Get Any Good Ratings . Each Episode Made Me Want To Continue And Watch The Next One The Following Week . Really Wished They Would Air This Again .
I loved this – at first I was not sure – it got better as it developed the main characters and introduced new ones – BRING IT BACK – who was asked as per ratings? This has it all … great acting – exciting plot and at first I did not think it was believable but as it unfolded it was possible – needs a bit of cleaning up (nurse is a bit over the top) but what is perfect?
Its crazy to me how the show did not get any good ratings. We got drama and action show with a really good storyline, the show is amazing and keeps you hooked. Smh the show deserves a 2nd season…and should be advertised more for more viewers and better ratings.BRING IT BACK!!!!
Really upset that USA cancelled season 2. My husband and I absolutely loved this show. So tired of getting so deep into a show and BAM. It’s cancelled and it’s always the good ones that get cut.
Please bring back the show
Personallying it was a very great show and was hoping for more
please bring the the show back!!! My husband and I were both glued to this show, it was awesome!! I couldn’t wait to see the next episode and then when it was all over i was hoping so bad for another season real soon. This needs to come back!!! USA was not smart to cancel this show! it was one of the only really good ones out there anymore
