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?
Really!!! Finally something to watch and not predict from first episode! Don’t Cancel.
Thank goodness. So tired of all the vampire/dark side tv shows.
Love Midnight Texas. Would love to watch a third season.
I absolutely love this show. It will be a shame that it gets taken off. Maybe CW or FOX can pick it up. I hate that it is going to be canceled. I am 45 years old and I love this. Sad to see this possibly leave.
MIDNIGHT TEXAS developed its characters and I for one am tired of committing to a show only to have it cancelled for no good reason! Reality TV is not of interest to me. I’m in rural area so streaming is not an option. Please support MIDNIGHT TEXAS
Love this show!!! Can’t believe they are cancelling another good show. Bring
Grimm back!!
The best acting in any series. Francois is outstanding. I really appreciated this show and will follow it to where ever it lands. NBC has a great show on its hands.
I love midnight Texas I look forward to seeing it once a week I keep all the old shows so I can watch it over and over the characters are wonderful and you’re opening up to more characters coming in even if you want to take it off of Friday evening and put it in another spot please do so but don’t take the show off the air Im begging you.
I have watched since the first episode. Keep midnight or at least let another channel pick it up so it can continue. Loved the books and the show. Even got other people into watching
I love Midnight, Texas almost as much as True Blood. I hated the way they ended True Blood and I don’t want to see Midnight, Texas suffer the same fate. Season Two of Midnight, Texas was even better than Season One. I truly hope that it is picked up by another network.
NO! don’t cancel this show.
I love this show! It has been a nice change from the same hum drum detective/ doctor shows that always seem to flood our stations. Not to mention the fact that it sends a message out there about people of different walks of life learning to live and get along with each other!
I have watched Midnight Texas since day 1 because it is different. I am a 56 year old educated woman who enjoys watching shows. Every time I start a show on this network (I even tell myself I should know better) but really get into it, NBC kills it. Please, let another network pick this up, we the fans will all follow to a new network. PLEASE, WE WANT MIDNIGHT, TEXAS
NBC is notorious for cancelli g Great Shows! The Grimm had a rocky history and it was a Great show. Now they want to end Midnight Texas when they have nothing else to offer! I hopw it find a NEW HOME! EXTREMELY irritated with NBC!
I Love this show!!! Pleeeease find it a new home!!
