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?

What the he’ll I used to stop everything I was doing to watch my favorite show.. Me and my boyfriend are devasted, how are we ever gonna know the ending now. That is just crazy!!!!
Hawthorne was one of my favorite cable series this year. It’s a very realistic & believable show. The actors are superb. I think this season was just as good as last season. I’m very surprised at the ratings; I praised this show every Tuesday on Facebook! And how will we ever find out who shot Nick?
I’m going to miss Hawthorne it was literally the only tv series I watched. I wish they would at least tell us what happened to nick!!!
I for one am very upset about this cancellation. Hawthorne was one show I made sure to be available to watch every Tuesday. The reason that your ratings were so low this past season is due to changing the day and time from the first season, if you had left the day and timeslot alone your ratings would have been as high as the first season. Jada is a wonderful actress and the cast had such a great chemistry. It’s too bad that you all feel the need to cancel every good show there is and fill everything up with… Read more »
Hawthorn was a great show. Although the show had great drama story line in the beginning of the 3rd season I must of admit it did get a little bit boring around the middle of the season. Maybe if they would of have more drama with other characters on the show the ratings would of match season 1 ratings. Don’t get wrong the season 3 ratings was decent and i think it was strong enough for a least one more season for a series finale. So TNT please bring it back.
Yes!! I am very sorry to see it go it was one of my favorite shows on Tuesday, night and I love Jada she is a great actress, and I really wish they would change their minds, Now we will never know who shot Christina;s boyfriend, but it was a great show and it will be missed!!!!
Just hope they at least have closure to the last episode!
Iwonder who had the idea of an affair? sounds a little fishy with all the rumors going around. Had they kept with her character from the begenning i would have kept watching. i stopped watching 4 weeks before the finale and never thought twice about it. how do you go from not wanting to date bcuz your spouse died to being a tramp. To far of a stretch for most people. Hopefully she doesnt make the same bad decision in life.
I have nothin against Jada but I always found the show boring.
Jada was trying to be a super hero. The show wasn’t realistic. I watched because its summer and not a lot to choose from and also to see how ridiculous it would be.
Well I know this: THERE ARE TOO MANY MEDICAL SHOWS!! Granted this one got good reviews. But still, Greys anatomy, Private practice, Nurse Jackie, House and a few others. They can’t all survive.
THAT STINKS I LOVE THE SHOW AND SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS
THE SHOWS YOU SHOULD CANCEL YOU DON’T YOU LEAVE SOME TERRIBLE
SHOW’S HAWTHORNE WAS A BIG CHANGE NEXT SOME THE SHOWS THAT YOU LEAVE ON I HOPE SOME OTHER CHANEL PICK IT UP.
[…] case you haven’t heard, TNT has cancelled HawthoRNe after three seasons on the air. The medical drama ran for 30 episodes total, from June […]
Yeah, the first season was the best… Then it was a down hill mess from there on! I wont’ miss that train wreck!
At least they could have given it an ending, now we will never know who shot him and if she and Tom got back together or what. Crapy way to end a show.
