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 really liked that show
What a tragic shame. Doesn’t it figure? Just when there is a great show on TV, some idiot goes and pulls the plug on it. I thought it was what the viewers want…that counts? Guess not!
This is crazy what is going on here people Dark Blue is a very exciting show and I looked forward to it comin on each and every summer .
i absolutly loved this show. one of the best cop drama’s that was on tv. Maybe FX Network should pick it up.???
I can’t believe they cancelled this show! I loved it so much & I’ve really been waiting for it… Did anyone ever think it wasn’t advertised as much as the other shows, that could really have something to do with the low ratings! So sad, I hope another network picks it up…
I am so mad… I loved this show… they can cancel this show, but keep on Teen Moms? I hate all these stupid ass reality tv shows… who will stand up for real tv, like this show was. I want this show back…. I love Dylan McDermmot…. Pls help Dark Blue Fans!
That stinks. I really liked that show. Had it been on FX, it would have gotten “SOA” or “The Shield” type status.
I’m am so sick of networks canceling great shows. The story lines and character depth of this show were great. It was top-5 must see tv for me. So disappointed.
I just watched the show for the first time last season and loved the sophisticated story lines. Too bad a good drama is cancelled due to viewer numbers or maybe the viewer numbers are low due to the viewers attention span. This is a scary thought.
What!!!…..I’ve been askin my wife when the next season was gonna air, i thought every episode had a good story behind it and the characters were great cannot stand watchin the closer anymore,
I loved this show…I just got online today to see when the new season started only to find that it has been cancelled….I just don’t get it, people did not watch this, but shows like Bachelor and Big Brother live on…..it makes no sense to me. It seems like all the good shows get the cut..come one people..get with the program!!!
You’ve got to be kidding me! That was the best show i’ve ever seen. I don’t know what has to be done but they gotta bring that show back. I waited since last summer for season 3. This sucks!
I am so disappointed that they cancelled the show. It was great drama and excitement each and every episode. I especially liked Dylan McDermott.
Can not believe why, this is a crime, stopping possibly the best TV series after friends after just 2 series is just crazy, this was pure entertainment and a roller coaster of a series, totally unbelievable!!
I loved the show, if it was on cbs or nbc the show would’ve instantly beena hit.
