After two seasons on the air, TNT has cancelled Dark Blue. No season three for Carter Shaw and his LAPD team.
Dark Blue stars Dylan McDermott as the leader of an undercover unit whose members are so covert that some of the members of the department don’t even know they’re involved. The rest of the cast includes Omari Hardwick, Logan Marshall-Green, Nicki Aycox, and Tricia Helfer.
The cancellation of the cop drama doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Despite a decline in ratings, the series was renewed for a second season last December. The second round of 10 episodes began airing in August and the numbers were worse than they’d been in year one.
Season two averaged a 0.6 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and 2.25 million total viewers. Those figures make the series the worst performer of TNT’s summer season and ripe for cancellation.
Dark Blue ended its run with two episodes on September 15th.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that the TV show has been cancelled? How would you have ended the series?

Dear TNT
Please reconsider bringing back Dark Blue.
Believe me when I say this. Your lousy rerun
Show’s that are running now are NOT good at all.
Men of menopause is a show that should have been
Cancel on the first episode.
Sincerely: a great viewer.
I can’t believe this show was cancelled!! What the heck? I was looking forward to Season 3 and all the gorgeous men and fantastic story lines. I love this show. 🙁
I loved this show! I’m boycotting TNT I’m pissed!
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE PREVIEWS BUT NEVER SAW THEM……….GIVE ME DARK BLUE NOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!
VERY VERY sorry to see Dark Blue has beem canceled. With so many bad show, you guys take off one of your good ones…
DO NOT TAKE THE SHOW AWAY!! I LOVED the show. I hope they come to realization that this show was a great show.
What the hell? I just figured I’d come here and check when the new season would be starting but I find this instead. How could you TNT?!!
Here I was to think that Dark Blue would be back this summer. I had enjoyed both season 1 and 2 and was looking forward to season 3. But like always the shows I like best has low ratings (very poor measurement of TV programs) and it is removed from the air. Yes, I have a busy life and I DVR everything. I don’t have to worry about show changing times or moving days because the DVR finds it and I’ll have it available for me when I’m home and can watch it at my own time. You know TNT… Read more »
I’m very upset that Dark Blue was canceled!! I just found out. The best show on TNT. Memphis Beat should have been canceled.
I am up here trying to find when Dark Blue will be on. I am very disappointed to find out that it was cancelled.
I loved Dark Blue. I have been waiting for it to start the new season and just found out it was canceled. TNT should have canceled shows that are really bad but not Dark Blue.
This is a shocker, I’m very sorry to hear about the cancellation. I can’t imagine any show gaining higher ratings in the time slot without some major promotion. This is a show that appealed to all ages and genders. My wife and I very rarely agree on television programs, but Dark Blue was one that we enjoyed together and could not wiat until the third season came out. Hopefully another network will provide another opportunity for this drama.
From UK we love Dark Blue
Just found out Dark Blue is cancelled. WHY!!! Waiting for season 3. What needs to be cancelled is Memphis Beat, not a good show. Hope TNT re-thinks this.
Very stupid decision TNT, not a good move on your part. Dark Blue is a great cop show. So what if the ratings were down, I bet a lot people had it set to their dvr due to having a busy life and can’t always make it home on to watch it on its scheduled time. TNT will be sorry and will look like idiots when another station picks it up, just like how BET picked up The Game. Take out Memphis beat and bring back Dark Blue along with Hawthorne. Smh
