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?
Please give get Midnight Texas!!
This has been a great show! I’d love for another network or streaming service to pick it up for additional seasons. Midnight definitely needs to continue on!
Yessss!!! My friends and I love Midnight, Texas. Bring it back!!!!
I am so sick of NBC. FIRST they cancel Grimm and now Midnight. of Course, I would watch another season ! CW would be a good home for it as they care what their viewers want to see and enjoy. exactly the place for a blue-eyed vampire….
Totally Agree! I miss the Grimm too. CW is my most watched network! Great shows
I would definitely watch a third season. I hope it finds a new home so it can continue, I love this show and the direction it was going!!
I would watch a third season religiously just like greys or Grimm or supernatural all of which I’ve watched religiously for as many years as they’ve been on NBC is turning this into another alphas 2 seasons and huge cliffhanger with no resolution
We need info. How do we contact other venues such as Netflix, CW,SyFy and ask them to pick up our show… I for one am tired of having every single show I like being cancelled because it is different, doesn’t fit the mold. It isn’t a talent or singing contest, or a medical or legal/cop show or a very bad comedy. Any ideas out there? Hate to see this show go for good.
I love this show I hope another network picks it up.
I really enjoy Midnight Texas. Great great show. I would watch a third season. I feel the rating fell because it was moved to Friday’s. I believe if it was kept on Monday line up rating would of been consistent with season one. Keep the show going.
oh come on another great series cancelled in its prime such a same it was great .bad bad bad broadcasters it may have started slow but it would of grown quickly . Very very very disappointed ☹️ from Wales in the uk
It seems to be the norm to cancel shows that are different yet keep or make more of the reality tv or other shows that are just copies. im looking at ads on this page one says 150 ending/cancelled 2017-18 the other 42 2018-19 that’s a lot of shows and almost none are reality based. do they take in account dvr,how many in a household are watching,ect? I feel like sometimes the viewer #’s are not right. especially with the outcry after these cancelations.i asked out of 60+ coworkers who watched midnight 52 said they did and 2 watched American… Read more »
I liked this show; however, I felt it would probably be cancelled due to it’s Friday night air-time. I’d watch another season on another venue – the story line was interesting and the characters were fun.
I get so tired of them cancelling good shows. I really loved Midnight Texas. It’s different and the stories aren’t predictable. I hope it gets picked up like Lucifer. Another show that I love that was cancelled, but at least Netflix is reviving that one.
I loved the show! At the beginning it dragged on but towards the end, it got interesting. I would absolutely love to see another season. Plus every show that I’ve watched in the past has gotten cancelled. 🙁
I loved the show! Finale was awesome
