Poor ratings have claimed another victim. It’s been learned that NBC has cancelled their Midnight, Texas TV show. While there won’t be a third season of the supernatural drama on the peacock network, Universal Television is reportedly shopping the series to other outlets.
Based on the book series of the same name, from True Blood author Charlaine Harris, Midnight, Texas stars François Arnaud, Dylan Bruce, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Arielle Kebbel, Jason Lewis, and Peter Mensah. Guest stars in the second season on NBC include Michael Harney, Mindy Sterling, Adam Langdon, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Jaime Murray, and Nick Lee. The supernatural drama unfolds in the remote Texas town of Midnight, a haven for those hiding out from the world. There, only outsiders belong, while normality is just plain weird. The townies come together to form a sort of chosen family. Together they fend off external pressures from nosy police officers, vicious biker gangs, and their own dark pasts.
While Midnight, Texas has some devoted fans, the cancellation hardly comes as a surprise when you look a the ratings. The first season averaged a meager 0.74 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.99 million viewers.
Despite the low ratings, NBC renewed the summer series and opted to air the show as part of the regular broadcast season. The network chose to program it on Friday nights, the same evening that NBC once aired their supernatural Grimm series.
The ratings for season two have been much lower and the eight installments have averaged a very low 0.40 demo rating with 2.08 million viewers. Unless Universal is able to find a new home for Midnight, the defacto series finale is set to air on Friday, December 28th.
What do you think? Do you like the Midnight, Texas TV show? Would you watch a third season of this supernatural series?
I vote for another channel to pick this up.
I loved this show really hoping some picks it up
Brilliant show!!! I also hope someone else picks it up
Loved the show! Never missed it. I hope someone else picks it up !
I do hope another network picks this show up !
Networks have especially nbc can’t go by numbers on who’s watching at the time it is aired. Most people either dvr or Hulu , etc there are so many other ways to watch so it makes it easier for people to watch when they have the time.
Yes please have a 3 season of midnight Texas.!!!!!!!!
My husband and I will miss this series. We looked forward to watching it each week and we have very few shows we look forward to watching. We love supernatural type shows that don’t have all the swearing and nudity.
I am sad that I found this show to late. I found it towards the end of its run, now I am streaming it from the beginning. I would love to see how this show completes each characters life. Shows today do not tell a story within a story any more. Great creative thinking of the writers and staff and an amazing ensemble of actors & actresses.
Yes i would love to see a season three not late at night and early August please bring it back
So that’s it? Nothing more? They just leave us hanging? No. I protest. I liked the books, and I liked the show. I’ve been seeing commercials for The Bone Collector. Since Arielle Kebbel is in it, I figured something wasn’t right.
