TNT has pulled the plug on their medical drama, HawthoRNe. The Jada Pinkett Smith TV series has been cancelled after three seasons on the air.
The cancellation news comes following the end of the third season a couple weeks ago. Despite having a strong start in its freshman year, HawthoRNe’s ratings have declined over the past two seasons.
Year three ended up averaging a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.51 million viewers, a loss of 22% and 19% when compared to season two. Year two had averaged a 0.9 in the demo and 3.09 million, a decline of 18% and 9% from season one.
When compared to TNT’s other summer shows, season three HawthoRNe had one of the cable channel’s smallest audiences. Only already-cancelled Men of a Certain Age had worse numbers.
In a statement, TNT said, “TNT has decided not to order a fourth season of Hawthorne. TNT truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved in Hawthorne. The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show’s talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with Hawthorne nothing but the best.”
What do you think? Are you sorry that HawthoRNe has been cancelled? Why do you think people stopped watching? What would you liked to have seen happen in season four?

I loved Hawthorne and have been waiting for it to return all summer! I just found out it was cx. I also loved men of a certain age too and I really have no idea while both of these really great out of the box shows were cx. I think Hawthorne was great, the storyline was compelling and gritty, and with Marc Anthony it really heated things up. I think tnt has made a huge mistake and I hope another network picks up these shows!
Another great show taht was dropped. We don’t need any more reality shows. Most of us want to escape reaity with some good acting and steamy story lines. Hopefully someone will pick it up!
I’m very upset that Hawthorne will not be returning to TNT!! If only another network could possibly pick it up that would be great!! Most of these shows are suffering because of reality tv. Some of us still want to see good, well written shows. It’s really sad.
WHAT!!!! Please come back…….That was the show!
Come on please come back season 4 would yall pick it up again???? Season 1 to 3 is outstanding! I was forward to 4th one but please! I begging yall which mean include the FANS. So do it for us please. Come back!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just found out there will no longer be Hawthrone and I can not believe it!!! Ticks me off big time. I had just started watching it last year and loved the whole show. Thought it was one of the best shows of the week and I was glued to the tv for that night and time. Makes me sick some of the stupidest shows that are on now and they are so many repeats and we can’t keep one good good show…I loved the part Marc Anthony played and thought he and Jada made the show so good.

Sorry to see Hawthorne go…no Hawthorne, no Men of a Certain Age, no NBA…there is no television!
I can’t not believe they took it off the air. Pretty soon. It’s going to be just reality shows on. Looking at the rich make fools of themselves!!
I am sorry the show is gone. I have been waiting for the nest season to start when someone told me what happened. What a bumer! I love this show and wish someone would pick it up! This show made my night! What will I do now?
Please Please Please someone pick it up, how can they leave us hanging like this?
Not knowing how the events ends up is killing me slowly, someone stop the pain!
Im sadden by the cancellation of a show that had some “make sence” storylines. we glamourize Vampires. It shameful I have to rely of Turner Classics for movies of substance, Shame on TNT..
p.s. Im over 50 yrs old.
Sorry the show was cancelled. However, I can see why the rating dropped. The first show of season 3 was awesome. Then it took a turn for the worse. Jada in the previous season was a strong, determine, dedicated medial person. However, in season 3 they made her weak, took her out of the hospital caring for people, made her a cheater to her husband when in the past she was very committed to her relationship. As much as I loved the show, I was really disappointed and how season 3 turned out.
I agree, I think it’s a shame that hawthorne was canceled. I also think that sense it was a cliff-hanger that a series or movie should complete a 4th show season. This is unbelieveable. What do you need your fans to do to get another season. Complete the cliff hanger with a final. Thanks
I’m sorry that this show was cancelled. this was a very good season-multi story lines going on -some of the best writing was this past season. Sure wish someone would pick it up!! Is it too late for TNT to pick it up again???
i am soooooo pissed that Hawthorne has been cancelled! I literally counted down the weeks for the next season. I couldn’t stand waiting the full week for the next episode. I’m not a big TV person, but i have been watching Hawthorne since season 1, episode 1. I have NEVER missed an episode! Half of the time, i re-watched the episodes because i LOVE this show so much. Jada Pickett Smith played extremely well in this show. And i really wanted to know if “Christina & Tom” worked out their marriage without divorcing! And i am truly disappointed to see… Read more »
AND WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO IZSABELL AND HER BABY MOSES, SEE? TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS…WE NEED TO SEE A SEASON 4, JUST GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO PROVE THEMSELVES IN SEASON 4.
