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!
Please find a way to save Midnight Texas. Me and my sister love this show! The last show of the “season” was awesome! Please keep it on or find it a new network.
NBC will probably replace it with some stupid show. I was just now getting into it. Seems like every time I find a show that I can stand to watch it gets cancelled and replaced with crap.
NBC is making a big mistake canceling midnight Texas. I hope another network will pick this amazing show up. I’m tired of all these great shows getting cancelled too soon you have to give it room to grow. Look at Supernatural and how well it’s done. Maybe CW will pick up midnight Texas. Here’s hoping fingers crossed.
Love this show!! Friday night is not good, though! I hope someone is smart enough to pick it up for all those of us who love sci-fi/Fantasy shows!! Not enough of them.
I really hope this show gets picked up by someone else.
Why do NBC always cancel good tv series. Grimm was another. I really likes midnight Texas and I’m gutted another series has been cancelled. I hope another channel picks it up
I would watch anything Arnaud and I love midnight Texas I hope someone else picks it up
Yes, somebody please pick up this series!!!! Too much other stupid TV shows that are still on – I like this one!!
I liked the show. It would be nice if another network picked it up. I would continue to watch the story line unfold.
