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 this show! I hope Hulu picks it up
Why??? I love this show. The cast is awesome even if noone should ever be called Bobo. (That was my friends dogs nickname)
Sick of all the crappy ahows staying while the good ones go. 🙁
I love this show…
I absolutely love Midnight Texas and so disappointed to read of its cancellation ugghh just like Lucifer, Night Shift and so many others…I totally dislike and bored of all the reboots and comedies that just arent funny these days
We really enjoy the series! Hopefully Netflix or a different network pick it up! Fingers crossed!
I love Midnight, Texas! I hope that a different network picks it up.
I love midnight, but I don’t have nbc.., I watched it on Hulu… Hulu or Netflix probably get better views for this type of show.
I love this show!!
I really hope another channel pick this show up. I have seen a lot of good shows get cancelled. I normally watch this show On demand. It would be great if Hulu, Syfy, AMC or CW would pick it up a three season. The story line is different and you can never guess what is going to happen.
I love this show and hope that it’s picked up by another station
Me too
I love midnight texas. I hope its not cancelled. it’s what my oldest and I watch every Friday night. I’ll be so upset to see it off the air. hope another tv station. picks it up.
I really hope another channel like Syfy or the CW picks up Midnight Texas. I love this show and I’m so sick of good shows getting cancelled. Please pick it up!!! There is so much more to these characters and the story of this town.
Not another cancellation. I am in the viewing crowd. People get on board with this great show. Hope a network picks Midnight Texas up.
I absolutely love this show. I’d more than watch season 3 and beyond. I’d watch reruns.
Why is it the good shows get canceled?I tend to record and watch later ,but I really enjoy Midnight Texas ….I will definitely follow it to another network.
