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 can’t believe this crap! TNT pulls the plug on this show without notice. I couldn’t be more pissed…I love this show more than anything that’s on tv now, and I so looked forward to watching this show in the summer. The last season was really heating up and unfortuately ended without closure. I’m so tired of reality tv and I really loved this show, a real tv drama. Please bring this show back!!!
It must be nice to play GOD……There isn’t much on any more but reality shows and they bite the big one. Hawthorn was one of the best shows to come on. Oh and TNT is the main channel I watch anymore because they actually have entertainment rather than reality shows. I REALLY REALLY wish you would reconsider, it had a great cast and I would like to see a network actually have a little respect for viewers who aren’t teenagers or mentally challenged and keep a decent program on.
I LOVED the show. I anticipated watching the show every week during the summer. The series was exciting and full of interesting believable story lines. I loved seeing a strong woman showing vulnerable areas in her life. I like the way the director blended the interracial relationships making them not an issue – Loved that for Jada! Bring back the show – it’s like no other show on the air! I would like to see some of season 3 cliff-hangers resolved!
I am pissed! TNT you decided to pull the plug without noticed. Come on! The story line is left cliffhanger. This is ashame of it all!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. THERE IS A LOT OF THE STORY YET TO BE TOLD.
I can’t believe you took this show off. It was one of my favorite shows. I have been waiting for so long for it to come back on. I didn’t know it was cancelled until today. I think you should reconsider a season four and then some. That is so unfair when a network takes a show off like this without any notice just hey its cancelled. Just wrong.
Mad as heck.
This is upsetting, this show was worth watching unlike some of the reality shows. Please reconsider season 4.
I really enjoyed this show. It is a shame that it is being camceled. There was a lot of storyline that could have been explored. I wish you would reconsider your decision and not cancel this show. I TRULY AM GOING TO MISS IT. IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS.
Jst found out!!!!!! DEVISTATED!!!!! Bring HawthoRNe back!!!!! what sad news about such a great show and that cliff hanger… come on< bring it back please
This Sucks please bring hawthrone back it was a good show and i dont understand all the good shows get boot of and the tv is filled with junky tv shows
Please bring Hawthorne back it was just getting to the good part. I love Jada and the role that she play and the doc. she had the affair with HOT! We want them back.
this realllly sucks. They left us hanging. That is truely unfair to the fans and I hate when networks do this. We never get a closing show they just pull it and don’t bring anything back. Thank you so much for not ending the show. We don’t appreciate it.
hope they do bring back Hawthorne. Networks tends to cancel shows that are worth watching while leaving junk show that these reality shows.
please bring Hawthorne back.
I loved that show they just left us hanging . I was nice to see Jada back on t.v. Hope maybe some will pick it up like they did the Game.
