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 like Midnight Texas! Please keep it going!
Yes I absolutely love this show i hope Netflix or someone else picks it up!
We really like this show, they are getting good at cancelling the shows we love to watch and keeping the ones that should be cancelled! Please don’t cancel Midnight Texas!!!!
Please DONT cancel this one too! Witches of east end got canceled on me and now this one?! Nooo!!!! keep this one going!!
I would definately watch a season three; however, I believe it would do so much better on a network, such as HBO, Showtime, etc where there could be more freedom for exprssion. That is why HBO was perfect for True Blood. That wss my opinion from the get go.
Midnight was my fav show. Once again cancelled for what reason. They have more to say. Very upset about it being cancelled
I just finished watching the season finale and waited anxiously to hear when the season 3 premiere would be and …nothing! Every show I love gets cancelled! I was a huge fan of “Grimm” but thought “Midnight” was better. So disappointed. I would absolutely watch a season 3!
Hell YES I will watch season 3!!!!!
I love love love this show. Please someone pick it up. IT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do they always cancel the interesting ones…boo!!! This was one I really liked!!!
Of course, another awesome show dies an early death…victim to “reality” TV, better known as crap. I sure hope someone picks it up!!!!
Bummer…another favorite bites the dust!
Here’s hoping someone else decides to give it a go!
Love love love this show! I don’t understand how it could get such low ratings! There is nothing like it on prime time network tv!!
LOVE LOVE Midnight, Texas! so sick of NBC cancelling all the good shows and keeping **** shows. I would follow it on any network that picked it up.. till the end of time.
I LOVE Midnight, Texas! I am so sick of NBC making crap decisions and cancelling all the good shows.
