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?
Midnight Texas should go to HBO. And make the story more deeper like how trueblood was. They get way more reviews and I feel it be beyond a great show than what it is.
Why does NBC cancel a good show right when they leave a cliffhanger on the second season please don’t cancel this show pick it up somebody else should I hope. Lucifer got picked up they should definitely pick this one up
I love Midnight! Please renew!!
NBC sucks! They keep canceling some of their best shows ever. We’ll start boycotting your network soon. #savemidnighttexas
Not as good as True Blood but a very Entertaining show none the less. I would definitely tune in for another season.
I really enjoyed Midnight Texas and was disappo6inted that it had been canceled. Everytime I like a series it gets canceled there are to many reality shows and not enough series I hope that the show gets picked up by another network
I love M idnight Texas please do not cancell another good show, please
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show. I hope they find a new home for it .

Please Amazon, Hulu, Netflix save Midnight Texas. Great writing, awesome surprises and twists. PLEASE don’t let this be the end!
Should have been renewed….
Why does NBC always cancel the good shows!?!? It’s crazy….I love Midnight Texas….find a way to keep it or see if the CW channel will take it over….better yet….run it in the summer months when there’s nothing else to watch….your ratings would most definitely increase….I may quit watching NBC bc they always cancel amazing shows!!!! SAVE MIDNIGHT TEXAS PLEASE!!!!
Oh I agree with you 100%
My daughter and I watched the first and second season. The second season was better than the first we enjoyed the all the twists . You took Grimm off the air and promised us a replacement show in Midnight and you’re not willing to invest the time and money to get the ratings to what you consider acceptable. It would a huge mistake to cancel this show. There tons of us who enjoy shows about the super natural and you’re going to cancel it.
Yes, Imma fan of Midnight! You ended Grimm, now Midnight?…
Please save midnight Texas
