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 love the show!!! I wish it wasn’t going to no cxld!!
Love the show so much, I really hope they find a way to continue it!
i love midnight texas and i’m said to see it go. I truly wish viewers would watch this show . Or would take this tv show over and air it. please save midnight texas
this show should be on HBO / Showtime or any streaming service, network TV sucks, eventually, they will only run news and reality TV and no one will watch
I would defiantly watch a third season. It’s a staple with my sister and I. The networks have pulled most of the shows we watch. Getting close to streaming only since you get invested in shows only to find them cancelled and really bad show like Brooklyn 99 stays on the air. Same with the good place both really awful shows. I thought TV was suppose to show something for everyone. Not just the same tired old ones.
So a show i like you want cancelled (BB99) and i show that is horrible that you like should stay (Midnight fakeness). They are showing something that everyone likes in different forms of Television shows. Just because you do not like a show does not mean it deserves being cancelled and same goes for shows i might not like.
I love Midnight, Texas. Not sure why the rating we’re down but everyone I know that watches it loves it as much as I do. I really hope it gets picked up and promoted as it should.
Yes. It’s one of my favorite shows. I hope it finds home somewhere and has a season 3, 4,5 etc.
It’s a great show! There’s been nothing else like it on TV. Please keep it on air. There’s really nothing else to watch paranormal-wise except those on Travel Channel or Destination America.
Yes I like the show alot. I hope NBC changes there mind. Or that it gets picked up by someone else.
Loved the show. So different from anything currently in the air. Please, please, please reconsider!
I love this show. Me and my husband are addicted to it. I hope NBC reconsider or maybe another network will pick it up.
PLEASE, PLEASE…PLEASE re-new a 3rd season, or find a new network! One of the best shows on TV!
BUMMER. I am not surprised, but I am disappointed.
I enjoy the show! I wish NBC would rethink this.
