A mystery adventure series, Houdini & Doyle revolves around the uneasy partnership of two legendary figures of the early 20th Century. Harry Houdini (Michael Weston) is a master magician and paranormal debunker while famed author Arthur Conan Doyle (Stephen Mangan) is a paranormal aficionado. They’re teamed with Constable Adelaide Stratton (Rebecca Liddiard) to solve cases that may have roots in the supernatural.
Looking at the ratings, it’s clear that Houdini & Doyle wasn’t a big winner for FOX. However, the network didn’t produce the series so it presumably didn’t cost them a lot either.
The show was produced by a number of companies and aired in the UK and Canada, as well as the United States. Because there are so many pieces of the financial puzzle, the show’s fate is difficult to predict. We’ll have to wait and see on this one.
But, what do you think? Should Houdini & Doyle be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Were you satisfied by the first season finale or, do you want more?
8/2 update: FOX has cancelled Houdini & Doyle after one season. Details here.
