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 loved this show! I was waiting for it this summer too!! I don’t think they advertised well so that’s why maybe rating were low.
So sickkkkkkkkk of all these fake reality shows! DARK BLUE was freaking awesome! TNT needs to bring back this show to save us from all those other pathetic reality shows. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
Really disappointed series was canceled. My husband and I loved the show and were looking forward to a season 3. TNT should give it another opportunity. We thought it just wasn’t advertised as much as it should have been. Had so much good action and drama. We loved the intensity and rawness of DARK BLUE. Truly bummed!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sad. That show was sexy, controversial, and just so darn entertaining. If they wouldn’t have kept jacking with the schedule, people might have been more interesting.
Bring it back, Seriously. Loved that show. Just found out it was cancelled. Thats really getting annoying you know, loving shows just to find they got rid of it. Southland made a comeback maybe this outcasts journeyman and flashforward will. Get a clue People
I have been waiting on this since last year oh my goodness. please dont do that I am literally crying. please bring it back please
Dark Blue was one the best cop shows on TNT. I read that once Southland came on viewers stopped watching DB and started watching SL? ……. Southland SUCKS!!!! Bring back Dark Blue!!!!! This show makes me want to be an under cover cop…. BAD ASS.. Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a travesty. DB was the best show on TNT. Its nice that quality shows get cancelled and ridiculous brain draining shows stay on.
I’m sorry to hear dark blue was cancel. Iiked the show. I watched or record it every week.
That pissses me off. One of the best shows of all time. I watch CSI, bones, all that stuff, there has been nothing like Dark Blue. Unreal.
I truly love, love the show.. So sad when i found out it is already cancelled. 🙁
I can’t believe that there’s no more Dark Blue, I was looking for it on it’s summer schedule, and to my surprise, it’s gone! What! Jerry Bruckheimer producing….fine Dylan McDermott acting, there’s action, passion, and care behind it all. What’s there not to like? Why didn’t people watch this? Ugh! I will miss you this summer Dark Blue. You were my escape!
I CANNOT BELIEVE DARK BLUE WAS CANCELLED!!!!!! I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. I THOUGHT IT ALWAYS CAME ON IN THE SUMMER SO I WAS CHECKING TNT SCHEDULE TO SEE WHEN IT WOULD BE RETURNING, NOW TO FIND OUT IT WAS CANCELLED. IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS. CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!
I agree with Travis, this sucks, I waited since last season finale for season 3 also…/bring it back!!!!
I am sooooo pissed! I totally loved that show! How and why would they do that…..I think its better than all that is on TNT except the closer
