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?

cant wait until season 2 starts wahoo!!!!!
Absolutely love, love , love the show!!!!!!!
I am thrilled about Dark Blue. I personally am not that crazy about Southland. They just need to find the right spot for it. Leverage was kind of hilarious and then here came a seriously dramatic show right after. I think it is fabulous to see Dylan doing such a serious role after all his years as Bobby. Hopefully, he was not type casted and people were originally hoping to see Bobby. Many shows really catch on in the second season. Let’s hope this one does. I really enjoy watching a show that I have to think about and keep… Read more »
I am over the moon that Dark Blue and Leverage are coming back. I’m so glad after they did what I see as a mistake of cancelling Saving Grace.
My wife and I fell in love with it. Keeo it going.
dark blue is awesome. can’t wait till it starts back up again. don.t take it off.. dlyan is great.. awesome show…
Season 2 — Season 2 — Season 2!!! Cant wait for Season 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 too! GREAT SHOW! Love Southland also, SO glad that TNT resurrected it from the dumbasses at NBC!!
I absolutely love the Dark Blue series. Each episode is even better than the previous one. The actors are awesome in the characters they portray. It is one of the best shows on TV. I wish it would return sooner. I didn’t know that this show was being considered for cancellation. I think that doing that would be a big mistake. The show is Sweet.
I’m so glad the show is coming back, I love it, I hate that I have to wait so long for season 2.
Wife and I love the show and were hooked all the way through. Definitely agree that there were way too many reruns.
Looking forward to season two.
I am glad it is coming back. One of the reasons for the drop in viewership may be that there were so many reruns; how many times does one need to view an episode?
Me and my friends love this show, we watched all the episodes in one weekend and we’re dieing to see the next season, so glad they have renewed!! Cant wait for season two the summer couldn’t come fast enough.
I’m so glad that the show has been renewed. My wife an I love this show and are eagerly awaiting season two. It seems to me that all the good shows don’t seem to make it, but alot of these dumb shows tend to go for years and years. Go figure.
My husband and I love the show we’ve been waiting for it to return. I was hoping they continued in reruns. Summer seems so far away.
I think Dark Blue is awesome, can’t wait for it to come back on. I think it is very different than Southland, which is a really good show, but apples and oranges. No one broods better than Carter!
