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?

I am so pussed off this show was cancelled!! My husband and even my 20 year old daughter loved the show!!!
You guys cancelled an incredible series like Dark Blue to put in place falling skies lol wow really
Really disappointed Dark Blue was cancelled. Was looking forward to it starting up again. I think there wasnt enough viewers because the season was during the summer. Most people dont get into series during the summer, they watch shows during the school year and enjoy summer. Summer is for repeats, not new seasons of shows.
This sucks!! I LOVED this show AND Omari Hardwick, whom you have dissed TWICE by cancelling the series “Saved” a few years ago too!! Come on, people, please!!
Im so hurt this is a shocking and disappointing moment just when i finally get wrapped up and caught up i find out that they cancelled dark blue are you serious TNT for real with the other wack shows your premiering dark blue you let go ugh
this is ridiculous i loved this i programmed my DVR each time i was so looking forward to season three that’s how they get you all wrapped up in a series then they cancel it we should start a petiton the shows they are premiering now suck i’m being honest come on TNT…
Who is rating these shows!!!!! I am so upset with TNT. Bring it Back!!!!! WE NEED TO FIGHT TO GET IT BACK!
My husband and I are very upset to hear that this show has been cancelled. This is truly disturbing. When we find a really great show to watch every week it ends up being cancelled. I really hope that you find a way to bring this show back its a really awesome show.
I cannot believe they kept Memphis Beat which is garbage and other idiotic shows but they cancelled Dark Blue! I was looking forward to the 3rd season….if we go based on ratings there will be nothing but garbage on TV…..so disappointing
With all the garbage on TNT like Franklin and Bash you cancel me.
This is awful! That was one of the best police dramas I had ever seen! Memphis Beat really???
I loved this show!! It really sucks that there won’t be a 3rd season
I’m highly upset about this news!! I loved the show, my husband & I watched every time it came on. I thought season 3 was going to bring a lot more good shows from how season two ended! I guess i was wrong =(
I am EXTREMELY disappointed to hear that Dark Blue is cancelled!! I agree – I was also looking forward to season 3. Memphis Beat is a joke (no laughing matter) and this Franklin & Bash crap will do good to last one season!! Give us our HOT men back !!!
This is terrible! i have been looking forward to season 3. they only cancel the real shows, just like Raising the Bar.I could have lived without Memphis beat and I need not see Franklin & Bash joking about the law! This decision to cancel Dark Blue really sucks!
