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 series, and would definitely watch a third season!
I would love a Season 3
I love Midnight Texas and would definitely watch a third season. Please find another network!
Love Midnight, Texas!! Even if I am a few decades older than your”target” audience. I hope you find another network , even if I’m not able to watch. Out in the country ( with antenna) & only get 4 channels!
I would definitely watch a 3rd season of midnight. Please find another network.
Oh Pleeeeezzzzzz find another network Oh Pleeeeeeezzzzzz !!!! i will watch !!!!
It’s sad that NBC has chosen to cancel another one of it’s genre programs. Midnight Texas was a great option after Grimm finished. Hopefully they will find a new home, so we can all continue to enjoy it.
I enjoy Midnight Texas, and hope that one of the streaming channels will pick it up.
Yes – would definitely watch no matter where it lands.
I’ve really enjoyed the show but I can see that not all viewers would like it.
I love this program and would definitely watch another season! PLEASE find a channel to take it over!
I love this show I may not watch it whenever it’s aired but I always catch it on Hulu
To bad. Really liked the show. Would have had more of a chance on cable TV like HBO. NBC plays everything too safe. Everyday watching less and less of NBC,CBS and stopped watching FOX 100 percent since the cancellation of Lucifer.
Midnight Texas was a great show but that channel cancels great shows look at Grimm shame hope it gets picked up on another network
I love this show. It’s really the only show I watch on NBC. They didn’t give it a chance. This show needs to be picked up by Netflix or some other streaming service. It will be a shame if we lose this show.
