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?
Season 3 or your head beheaded just like Manfred’s !!
I would watch a third season of Midnight Texas for sure, We enjoyed the first two seasons immensely.
This is so good. Please someone pick it up. If I have to subscribe to something to watch, I will. At least give us a season for closure, but I see it going farther. Save it!
Midnight ia spectacular, please save it.
I want it back. that was a good show
Midnight, Texas is one of the few interesting shows on television! Please renew or find it another home- I will gladly follow it anywhere!
We Love Midnight in Texas!! Please don’t cancel it. Don’t know who makes the decisions on some of the shows but, they really need to listen to the people more often.
Asshats
I love Midnight Texas – please don’t cancel!!!
Midnight, Texas is a must see for me. NBC PLEASE! do not leave the Midnighters hanging. At least give them an ending like you did for Timeless. If it goes to streaming I’ll never see the end.
my husband and I are big fans of Midnight Texas- please give it a chance
Please don’t cancel midnight Texas it is fantastic and well acted…me and my daughter love it
I really hope this gets picked up by another network for a third season! I would watch for sure! Maybe Netflix might look at it now that it’s losing all the Marvel series?
Please dont cancel midnight Texas love love the show
I’m so sad! I counted the days till Season 2 I can’t believe NBC is only going to air 8 episodes. That seems so unfair. I’ll definitely be looking for ‘MY SHOW’ on another network.
I love Midnight,Texas! Please don’t cancel it!
