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?
Will definitely miss this one. I don’t have time to watch TV but I made sure I caught this one every week!!!! Wish they would bring it back!
I would watch on any network. Great show. Sad to see its not coming back. Please reconsider
You got to be kidding! This show was one of the best! I never missed an episode and was always looking forward for the new episode. It had me at the edge of my seat every time! I really hope they reconsider and bring it back. I was really stoked to watch another season and then I came across this. Huge disappointment.
Really disappointed this show was cancelled . My husband and I was looking foward to new season
What!! I have been waiting for this show to return, I hope they reconsider again.
Seriously? We have so much junk on television that runs for 12 seasons but you all cancel Complications. This show was so interesting. We never missed an episode! The suits who decided what shows to keep and what shows to chop made a huge mistake.
ARE YOU KIDDING!! I was just searching to see when season 2 was going to start. I figured it would be soon and then came across this article. This show was awesome. I’m still on the edge of my seat. There really isn’t much worth watching on tv. But this show was!!!! It’s so sad that the masses crave sh. And the tv execs making the decisions produce nothing but sh!
USA the main reason I started watching your Network was because I saw Complications. Now… Back to ID channel
I’m sad to hear there isn’t going to be a second season. My family and I were looking forward to it. We don’t watch that much tv but we loved this show. I wish the would reconsider.
