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?

WHY? WHY? I wish the show had ended with good stuff instead of all the fans waiting for the next season to come. Very upsetting!!!
I am “PISSED” that TNT has the nerve to cancel “Hawthorne!!!!!” TNT has to know that they have made the wrong decision! They have also cancelled “MEMPHIS BEAT!” Well this is the 3rd show that they have taken away from dedicated viewers! A few years ago they took away the 1st of 3 of the greatest shows ever on television:”SAVING GRACE”, so after taking “Hawthorne” from me, I have decided to “BOYCOTT TNT!!!!!!” TNT keeps the worst show on tv-“SOUTHLAND” of which was cancelled on primetime only after a few episodes!!!! Oh yeah, they also kept “SUPERNATURAL” & “LAS VEGAS”!… Read more »
I am very upset that Hawthorne was cancelled. I don’t think it had anything to do with ratings. I believe that once the rumors began about Jada & Will’s marriage being in trouble the show was abruptly cancelled. The last story line was “Too Hot” between Jada & Marc and I believe their spouses at the the time was upset. I needed to see an ending, because the Doc was not going to let the Officer take his wife. Season 4 should have and could have been awesome! People were expecting alot of action. Ultimately, I believe that love scene… Read more »
With the cliff hanger ending I just wish they would cancel AFTER answering all our questions!!!! I really liked this show and hate to see it go. It seems like every show I like gets cancelled. TNT has been my ‘go to’ station for several years now…now where do I turn when they start cancelling all my favorites like the big networks did.
I loved hawthoRNe, I do believe that season three took a different turn taking Christina job away was not good and Marc Anthony role was horrible. His special appearance should have been just that, a one time event. His role was not necssary. I would have wanted to see how Christina and her husband get back together. Please return the show and get better writers.
Hawthorne was a good show until the latest season. They totally ruined the show when the “star” Jada Pinkett Smith stopped being in charge !!!! Taking that job away from the “star” was ridiculous and I believe that’s why the show is NO MORE !!!
The other part of the disaster was giving Marc Anthony a spot on the show. He is awful and was put in an awful role and the story line became STUPID !!!
Other than that the show was fine !!!
I hate that it’s not coming back, but it was too much bed room drama, I would have liked for Christina to have stayed with her husband. I would like to see all the loose end tied up.
I also hate that Hawthorne was cancelled. I had no idea it wouldn’t be back. I also hate that Memphis Beat isn’t coming back on. What happened? I thought it got good enough ratings.
I am not surprised to see it cancelled. I lost interest when the plot turned into less of a hospital drama and more of a steamy soap opera.
I really, really, really hate that they cancelled the show. I absolutely loved it. The cast had Great chemistry and they never seem to leave the good shows on for long. I will miss it Dearly!!!!
Wish they would have came back 4 another session it was a good show really hope they bring back the show……
I just checked to see when my favorite show would begin the new sean. IAM IN SHOCK. I love tgat show. What happened? Can we get it back on? WOW!
After watching Season 3, I understand why this show was cancelled. It was no where near the caliber of the first two seasons and had it been the first season, we would never have continued watching it. I don’t know whether the show had new writers or what, but it really went downhill.
I hate it that Hawthorne was cancelled. It was a great show that kept me on edge. I could hardly wait for the next week. There are a lot of shows that I wish was cancelled and this was not one of them.
I think it is wack that they canceled my favorite show…. Why have so much happen in season 3 to make us can’t wait for season 4 just to cancel it tnt your so wack…… wa
