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 was looking forward to Hawthorne new series and now one of my favorite shows cancelled again. You guys are jerks you cant let us hanging around wondering what the endings are. I always watched it when i come home from work or i recorded it and watched it the next day and now im very disappointed
I am a die hard HawthoRNe fan! I loved this show and everything about it! Jada Pinkett Smith is one of the BEST actresses of all time. She deserves this show. TNT will regret the day they decided to cancel HawthoRNe. BRING HAWTHORNE BACK! #teamNICKRANATA
I loved this show !!!!!!! I am so sorry to see it cancelled couldnt wait to watch it. TV is getting pretty crappy if you ask me only a few of the good ones lefted. 🙁
I’m sorry to hear the show has been cancelled. It’s terrible to leave it’s viewers just hanging. What’s become of her marriage and most importanly, WHO SHOT NICK???
Can’t they at least film an ending?
Please do not cancel the Show Hawthorne, it was a great show, watching this show was interesting. Why don’t you cancel those simple shows like falling skies, las vegas, etc.
I was looking forward to a new eposides for the summer with Hawthorne. I don’t watch many show but I really enjoyed watching Hawthorne; bring it back on television, please.
Every woman I know watched Hawthorne . What are we to do now. The men have their sports, the kids have Nick and Disney what’s left for us.
I loved Hawthorne! I don’t like the shows that are on these days. I appreciated the realness of Hawthorne. For once we got to see what it’s like to live as a strong single African American woman and the reactions to her. It was not fair of the network to cancel it without warning leaving everyone to wonder what happened. Everyone I know watched Hawthorne and I don’t believe their ratings mumbo jumbo. Please take another look at what you have done.
I really love that show, i hate to see it being cancelled after all the great shows that was being aired…. TNT does not know good tv shows!!!!
WHAT!!! Not soming back.WHY!!!!! NO ER and Now NO Hawthorne. Im devistated.
We have to be left hanging??….what going to happen to them.This is no way to end a show.Go out with a bang!!
I liked the series HawthoRNe but was very troubled by the way she behaved with the Marc Anthony character and cheated on her new husband. Perhaps after that there was no way for her to redeem herself.
I really enjoyed watching the show and felt it really did give its audience a realistic perspective on African American women as women who are strong, hard working, and the struggles faced by them. The show was very engaging. I loved the show for its substance and appeal it had to the African American audience. I was very disappointed to hear that it was cancelled. I was more shocked by its rating considering its creativity as well. I wonder if all the negativity geared toward Jada’s and Will’s marriage played a part in the ratings going down or people making… Read more »
i really really want hawthrone to come back…i wish and want to see more…please rethink your opinion.
I am upset that HawthoRNe has been cancelled some of the other not worth watching shows made the cut. People are not giving the writers a chance to keep you wathcing and improving the charcters. I will miss the show, is gives me something to watch in the summer until fall, I do not watch many series but that was a favorite, maybe we can get a campaigne going to bring it back.
i was looking forward to seeing more…especially marc anthony!. meanwhile they air stupid shows like “THE B in apartment…”,and others not woth mentioning..
bring it back!…don’t leave us hanging!
I am truly disappointed about this cancelation of Hawthorne. I had a core group of friends all watching faithfully. We PROTEST! jmitchell
