Despite a big drop in viewership, TNT has decided to give Dark Blue a second chance.
Dark Blue revolves around a group of LAPD officers who work so far undercover that even their coworkers and loved ones don’t know what they actually do. The series stars Dylan McDermott, Omari Hardwick, Logan Marshall-Green, Nicki Aycox, Meta Golding, Tyrees Allen, Channon Roe, and Noah Bean.
While the July 2009 premiere attracted 3.5 million viewers, the ratings declined heavily over the season. The last episode brought in just 1.6 million, leading many to believe that Dark Blue would not be renewed. The show’s chances weren’t helped by the fact that TNT picked up NBC’s discarded Southland series.
But, TNT has apparently decided to stick with Dark Blue for now and has renewed it for a second season of 10 installments. The first season aired over the summer and the second will likely follow suit.
What do you think? Are you happy that Dark Blue has been renewed or should TNT be putting its resources into something else, like producing more episodes of Southland? Do you think Dark Blue will see season three?

Im so happy dark blue is back, I used to rush home from school just to watch it 🙂
I love Dark Blue. I have been waiting for it to come back on.
I am glad that Dark Blue is coming back BUT I also liked Southland. Does anyone know if that is coming back/
@Elaine: Southland returns tonight — on TNT.
Am delighted to hear this!! I have been watching for promos and thought that it had been cancelled because of the pickup of Southland. It is a beautifully lit show and the cast is amazing. Each character’s story is interesting. I wish viewers would get with it. Hopefully second season it will take off like the Office or Seinfield.
Dark Blue is the best ever, glad to see it coming. Southland is not even a close second to the show. Way to go TNT!
To be honest, despite the low viewership, I think the second season deserves at least 13 episodes. I love this show and I can’t wait until its released on DVD. It will moist likely be released on April or May this year (2010).
It’s a phenomenal show at a phenomenal time and it’s a good decision for tnt to pick them up again and allow the show to continue to develop; to allow the characters to continue to develop. I am dying to see some more of the STORY unfolding.
Glad to hear Dark Blue has been renewed … looking forward to season 2 & beyond!
DARK BLUE was the truth!!!! One of the best new shows on television, and I am excited that TNT renewed it. Great show!!!
Dark Blue is my absolute favorite of all the shows on TV. I really miss it. Please bring it back. I like all the characters!
Deep Blue is an awesome show. Keep it rolling!
