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 really hope another network or streaming outlet is smart enough to pick up this fabulous show. I counted down the days each week waiting for it to air. I loved the characters and the storylines were fresh & imaginative. Please bring it back for several more seasons & I will watch every single episode!!
This was a fun and different show, very disappointed in NBC. Hopefully it will be even better when it gets picked up. NBC….always cancels the wrong shows….
I would watch it if it moved to another outlet. I love the show and the characters.
Please hope another network pick s up the show just love it so much,so many shows have gone Code Black,Banshee,The Last Ship,Our Girl,Original Strike Back,etc so many have gone try and get another network to take this show up.
I love Midnight Texas!!!! Please someone pick this show up. Give it another shot.
I cannot believe that they cancelled this show! I love this show, just wondering which group of people they surveyed to come up with those ratings. I really hope another network will pick this up as soon as possible! I am so disappointed because I really love this show.
I think midnight Texas is a great show and I would definitely watch season 3,4 and 5 however many seasons that they make I love it
I really loved this show, was glad it didn’t get cancelled last season, now you say your canceling it again . Please find a new home or those of us who enjoyed your show
I really like Midnight Texas! I hope the show finds a new network.
I would definitely watch a third season of Midnight Texas. I love this show and was very disappointed to hear that it had been cancelled. I’ve watched from the beginning and thought that the second season was even better than the first. I think Friday night was just not the best time slot for it. I hope another network or streaming service will give it another chance and a new home.
I agree even if they put it on Netflix I would definitely watch it
I am one of those truly devoted fans that are praying at the show finds a new home.
Gave it another shot after a boring Season 1 and enjoyed Season 2 much better but had a feeling it wasn’t going to last.
It beats the heck out of all those dumb reality bachelor shows. I thought the series was getting really good. I hope Netflix or Hulu picks it up.
Did they figure streaming ?? Love this show should have aired middle week for more viewers
Midnight, Texas is a creative show and quite enjoyable. Please bring it back.
