Variety reports TNT has cancelled three of their series: Legends, Public Morals, and Agent X.
The announcement comes on the same day the network granted season renewals for The Librarians, Major Crimes, and Murder in the First.
Starring Sean Bean, Legends’ second season premiered in November, after a complete series revamp. Ratings were poor for season one, with an average viewership of only 1.53 million. But even with a new showrunner and serialized approach to the spy drama, the second season has not fared much better in the ratings.
TNT’s new historical cop drama Public Morals debuted in August. However, the freshman series starring Ed Burns as a member of NYPD’s Public Morals Division in the 1960s, performed even worse in the ratings than season two of Legends. Season one only garnered an average 18-49 demo rating of .15 and an average of 880,000 total viewers.
TNT’s other freshman series, Agent X, premiered in November. The series, which stars Sharon Stone as a new Vice President in charge of a secret operative, has fared better than the first season of Public Morals in the ratings, but not by much. With only three episodes left, the series has averaged a total of 1.066 million viewers.
Legends ends it second season on December 28th, while Agent X ends is first and only season on December 27th.
What do you think? Did you watch either Legends, Public Morals, or Agent X? Are you disappointed they were cancelled?
Please renew Agent X TNT! This is an amazing show which I enjoyed week after week!
Time slot conflicted with major network TV. Awesome show but always watched on In Demand. Too bad Legends cancelled.
Would love to see Sean Bean (any day) back with Legends. Please bring it back….anyone!!!
I really enjoyed Agent X, love Sean Bean, not so much Public Morals! I would love to see Agent X and Sean come back!
I love Agent X – But I did have to record due to time
Renew Agent X. Just watched the entire season in 3 days. Had my attention immediately!
Pvr’d Agent X when it was run back-to-back on Bravo in Canada. We finally got to watch this weekend. We enjoyed it and found ourselves watching every episode one after the other. Quite disappointed to find out it is not getting a second season. It does not seem fair to judge a series that gets launched at the time of year when its competition will be Christmas specials, NFL, as well as family, school, work Christmas preparations & celebrations. Real American politics with candidates debating and having interviews making inflammatory statements was also quite bizarre and distracting. If anything the… Read more »
Enjoyed Sean Bean in Legends, but very difficult to follow time jumps. Former English teacher, so I’m adept at following complicated plots. This one was right up there with Faulkner’s “Sound and the Fury.” Too bad a good plot was so disruptively presented.
Please don’t cancel legends! It’s the only tv show I actually watched!
I think Public Morals and Agent X should not be cancelled. 2 great shows. well written, great actors. two of my favorites. The people who cancelled these shows are crazy. The action in Agent was great. Loved seeing Sharon Stone again.
Loved Agent X can’t believe it’s canceled.
Loved Agent X!
This is by far the worst decision that TNT has ever made! This is an awesome show!!! Maybe if this show would’ve been on a better network, with more exposure, it would’ve succeeded! It was a different show that transported you to the way things were in that era and the acting was phenomenal. I hope some other network picks up the show, because Public Morals deserves another chance. This is not right and I’m very disappointed at TNT.
Stupid decision TNT. They had a great show with agent X. Disappointed Big time!!
I loved public morals. I can’t believe it was cancelled.
unzir Man they have done themselves,a Huge disservice in the UK with legends.TOSSERS.
