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?
Omg! There’s only a few shows I absolutely love and complications was one of them I never could wait to see the next episode every week I loved every one of the characters there was so much action John and Gretchen were great together please come back!
Wow, another great show bites the dust. So sad to hear this. So much was left to tell in this story.
I was waited hella long for this show to come back on with s.2.. Tha only reason da show was dope cause Jason played a hood/doctor you gotta do bad just to have a good outcome, that went to see da OG in jail bad told him he’s not fckin with him nomore like a boss lol. Gretchen too she TOOO HOOOD nd I like how they made her play the big sister role… Ima hood nd I gotta say I was a fan nothing aint even no more.
Its sad no 2nd season, why do they keep the crapy realty shows but cancel all the dramas, then they wonder why people turn away from them. It was a good show, was looking forward to the 2nd season now boring crap to watch, guess I’ll watch reruns of NCIS and Law & Order SVU. Thanks USA
OMG!!!!! So sorry to learn that Complications was cancelled. We’ve just been waiting to hear the return date and found out it will not be returning for a season 2. Sooo upset!!! We’re so tired of all the reality shows. This was a great drama my family enjoyed; even those in several other states. I have never done this before (ask for a cancelled show’s return) and I’ll be 66 in January. PLEASE, HAVE A HEART, give it back to us.
Wtf? USA made a big mistake. This was and is my favourite show on usa.. Suits is so boring and when I saw complications being advertised just as Graceland was about to finish I was so f-ing pumped, and it’s such an entertaining series.. But if you guys are looking for another awesome series check out unreal on lifetime or power on starz you won’t regret it.
I just googled to see when the second season would start and was so sad to hear it got canceled. I definitely think they should bring back a second season. I loved the plot line and always looked forward to the next episode. I still have all of the episodes recorded on my DVR. The plot line and issues the characters faced were very relateable and heartfelt. Hope they reconsider and give it another shot!
Complications was one of my favorite shows! It’s a shame that we are constantly fed reality TV junk that endorses racial profiling and stereotypes but can’t get a scripted drama that doesn’t fall under soft porn! Dag USA networks..smh!!!
We also loved this show! Great characters! We hope you will reconsider and bring season 2!
Wow just googled to see when season 2 would start as it was a new favorite show. So Disappointed to find out it’s cancelled! Bad idea USA this was an awesome first season.
Very very upset they cancel the show I’d pay to watch it
Very disappointed there’s no season 2. I was looking forward to it, the actors and actresses were very good
Please don’t cancel the show. Complications was a great show!!
Please don’t cancel the show. We loved it. One of our favorite new tv series.
I am so disappointed this show has been cancelled, like many others I loved this show and couldn’t wait until Season 2.
