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 can’t believe this great show was canceled, much better show than a few you guys wants to keep airing and we all know are BS. Hope you guys think about it.
wow well i can honestly say this really sucks i mean there is nothing good on tv but when u find a good show you like they decide to cancel it because they didnt advertise it enough that is real BS
That sucks…..It was a great Series…..maybe TNT should have given it a better time slot!!!!
WTH…loved the show..so sad it was canceled 🙁
There’s alot of things that go behind the scenes, between agents studio heads etc… But this was a really good show, well produced and directed good acting and alot of action and supense! A very high quality show and im very surprised it was cancelled! Way better than Falling skies, Leverage, Memphis beat and i could go on…
They should have continue the show. it was awsome. I hate many of the crap that are on for no good reason.
very good show me and wife loved the show shame on you tnt
I am sorry to hear that the show will not be returning!!
Me and my husband recognized one of the actresses on another show and realized we hadn’t seen any advertisements for Dark Blue and checked to see when it was coming back on. Needless to say we are very disappointed to see its cancelled. Other shows with 2.5 million viewers are considered hits, why not this one? Very disappointed!!!!!!!!!
I did the same thing! I noticed the lady that was on Suits or something and she was the love interest of Carter and his boss. Thats when I thought wait a min. I havent saw DarkBlue this summer! Memphis Beat? So predictable, and Earl as a Detective, LMAO, what a joke.
Stupid move by TNT, Dark Blue was a hell of a lot better than Leverage will ever be…
Leverage was good…..but i believe u r rite…..Deep Blue was much more intense and less corny than Leverage
What a joke! Like 2.25 Million viewers aren’t that many viewers. I have pretty much stopped watching the “big 3’s ” reality bs. Now TNT is canceling good shows like Dark Blue and putting in their place shows like Memphis Beat (filmed in Louisianian, not in Memphis) Don’t get me wrong almost every night the DVR records a TNT show. You guy have the opportunity to be like NBC prime time was in the late 90’s, but keep canceling shows like Dark Blue, Southland or Franklin & Bash and I guess I’ll give USA and Bravo a chance.
Thats pretty annoying.. we really liked the show. I personally think it didn’t do well because it wasn’t advertised enough and was on too late.
Wow I’m pissed they cancelled Dark Blue it had all the right twist nd turns..I loved every episode..recorded them nd re watched them…this is so upsetting!!! The shows that have true meaning dnt mean nothing in the eyes of the average!!
i think the show was real good ,i didnt miss a show of it,was just looking to see when it was coming back on.i guess they will put some sissy ******** show on i its place.
I agree. I saw every episode and was looking forward to the return. I think there is alot of politics in when shows air and which time slots they get. I could name 10 shows that I would trade for one DarkBlue. This sux!
I am getting tired of this BS….they cancel shows because they ‘underperform’ yet there is little to no publicity and no reruns!!!! Seriously–we get GLEE crammed down our throat 35 times a day and 17 reruns of House MD ( a show i enjoy) and NCIS a week–why why why???????!!!!!!
