After less than impressive ratings in its first season, In the Dark could easily have been cancelled. However, it was renewed and then, before the second season even premiered, In the Dark was renewed for a third season. Since viewers can rest easy knowing that the show will be around for a while, will the ratings improve or drop? Stay tuned.
A comedy-drama series, the In the Dark TV show stars Perry Mattfeld, Rich Sommer, Brooke Markham, Casey Deidrick, Keston John, Morgan Krantz, and Theodore Bhat. 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. Murphy lives with her supportive best friend, Jess (Markham). Along with their anal-retentive boss (and sometimes a friend), Felix (Krantz), they run Guiding Hope, a school for guide dogs. But, solving the murder of Murphy’s best friend, Tyson, lands her deep in the world of Chicago’s underground heroin trade where she is forced to turn Guiding Hope into a front for a drug kingpin.

What do you think? Do you like the In the Dark TV series on The CW? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a third season?
I love this show. I couldn’t stop watching it. Please don’t let it end.
I loved the series, couldn’t stop watching, so disappointed when it ended like that. It has so many places to go??????
I love the series In the dark ,its one of my all time favorites, the characters are all great ,especially Murphy, please add a third season ,loved season two ,and can’t wait for more of this awesome series.
I really loved this show from the start. It is funny, dramatic, thrilling, suspenseful all wrapped up in one. Can’t wait for season 3, I’m just starting season 2.
Can you really base the ratings from cable viewers alone? A lot of the population doesn’t watch cable networks on cable anymore. A good percentage of people stream these days. I saw this on Netflix and loved it. Pretty sure it had high enough viewing from Netflix alone that ensured its renewal. Def looking forward to season 3. 2 wasn’t my fav. It took a drastic turn from season 1. But gotta give them props for trying to keep story lines tied in. It just seemed a little excessive of the life threatening drama at every turn. Season 1 had… Read more »
Absolutely love this show. Thank goodness for some good news for a change. Thank you!
one of my favs
I love In The Dark. It’s a fast moving show with a very good cast who I immediately liked and cared what happened to. The last episode of season 2 was unexpected but very good. I would have liked to see Murphy and Josh have a slightly happier ending and Murphy, Jess and Felix have a little good luck. But I’m very happy the show will be back for season 3.
I began by sort of liking and not liking this show, as the main character reminded me of problems with my ex, but my wife liked it.
I was drawn in by the story and the “regular people” sort of characters, then put in step-by-step bad situations. By the finale of this season, where it looked like they could mostly salvage everything until… oops, no spoilers for those who haven’t watched it yet. By the ending, I exclaimed, “What is going to happen Now?!”
It is good to know the show will not be going away.
Hell yeah.. Felt in love with this show
I absolutely love this show and it’s pretty hard for me to get into one so completely. The casting is spot on and the storyline just keeps on giving. I’m invested in the characters, although Max’s has been reduced to some kind of pathetic. Otherwise, there’s lots of potential and I’m excited to look forward to another season!
Season 2 is not living up to the potential that Season 1 offered. The writing is off. The episodes lack any moments of excitement. I made a point of watching every episode of Season 1, but now if I miss an episode of this season I don’t care. The writers/producers have stuck a stake in the heart of this series.
Cancel this blind, look at the ratings and open your eyes wide no body watch this.
We watch it and love it. Why are you commenting if you think it should be cancelled. Do you even watch it?
This show was VERY popular on Netflix so I’m sure that’s why it got picked up. I love this show!
It is a CW production. It is not an original Netflix series as Netflix has no involvement in the production. The only thing Netflix has shown is a rerun of the series.
I am glad that In The Dark will come back for the 3 seasons. I can’t wait to see what happened in the 3 seasons.
is it coming back?
