It looks like Murphy’s story is coming to an end this summer. The CW has cancelled the In the Dark TV series ahead of the show’s upcoming fourth season premiere on Monday, June 6th.
A drama series, the In the Dark TV show stars Perry Mattfeld, Brooke Markham, Casey Deidrick, Keston John, Morgan Krantz, Theodore Bhat, and Matt Murray. In the series, Murphy (Mattfeld) is a messy twenty-something who struggles on a daily basis to balance her random hookups, her hangovers, and her drug front. She’s also blind. In season three, Murphy and her best friend, Jess (Markham), along with their annoying friend Felix (Krantz), and Murphy’s ex-boyfriend, Max (Deidrick), find themselves faced with yet another dilemma – how to avoid getting caught for murder.
Regarding the cancellation, The CW is currently owned by CBS Entertainment Group (part of Paramount Global) and Warner Bros. Entertainment (part of Warner Bros. Discovery). Most of The CW’s programming comes from these two companies and network ratings are only a part of how they profit from the shows. In the past, The CW has been renewing most of its shows each year but, the network is currently up for sale. Because a sale will change how The CW operates, the network has significantly pared down its renewals this time around and has opted to cancel several series that likely would have been renewed in past years.
Today, The CW also dropped 4400, Charmed, Dynasty, Legacies, Naomi, and Roswell, New Mexico. The network previously cancelled Batwoman and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
It’s unclear at this point if there’s a possibility that In the Dark could be revived for a fifth season if the upcoming episodes generate enough interest. Past seasons have typically drawn low traditional ratings on The CW.
What do you think? Will you be watching season four of the In the Dark TV series? Are you disappointed that the show has already been cancelled?
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don’t cancel In The Dark. I just love this show, it’s the only show I actually am interested in watching.
We need another season of in the dark ! We need another please
I absolutely love In the dark!! I look forward to watching each episode! Love the characters and the actors! Please please renew! Put it on another station to renew if the CW won’t.
This is a fantastic show that gets better with each episode. I’d be very upset to see it end.
Absolutely a great show to watch ! It is quirky but smart and the characters are so worthy of their followers.
I was totally shocked to see that this show was being canceled. There is not another show like it on TV. I never miss In the Dark. I look forward to it every week. I don’t understand why it would be canceled. This is CRAZY. Please be smart and let it stay .
Really disappointed that this show was cancelled!
GLAD TO SEE IT BACK DEFINATLY WIL BE WATCHING HOPE FOR A SEASON 5.
I loved this show and was disappointed to see it canceled
In the Dark is unique, entertaining, and keeps you guessing. love this show! Been binge-watching on Netflix. I love the comedy relief and the actors! This is a show worth keeping! We definitely do not need or want any more reality shows!
This was one of the most unique, creative, dark( funny) series I’ve Ever watched. Loved to see how ALL the characters dealt with own personal issues, then came together, yes , why are all the good ones pulled ???
It was finally a unique story with characters you want to follow. Such a shame they cancel the good ones!
I haven’t watched this series but by looking at someone blind in the prison?! It is enough to cancel this nonsense.
Networks are out of scripts nowadays
This was something a little different and will be sad to see it go.
There’s somebody really blind at the CW today… and it ain’t Murphy.
