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?
They always take off the best shows. Please bring it back on the CW where all the other great supernatural shows are.
Great show. Nice to watch something other then cops and lawyer shows. Sad to see it go
I would absolutely watch more seasons of Midnight, Texas. Hell if a 69 year old lady watch this show I’m sure a younger audience is also watching. Please give season 3 a chance.
Please don’t cancel I absolutely love this show it must go on !!!!
Yes I would definitely watch more series myself and my partner were hooked however we live in the uk it’s a shame as it’s better than a lot of the rubbish American tv shows that are put on the tv.
Yes I would watch another season!! Loved it, can’t believe they have canceled it!!
This can’t be the end of Midnight. I am addicted to the show. Please let it continue!
I would definetly watch season 3. I love this series. Please ,another station pick this up
They can’t cancel midnight, it can’t be gone this show is the best NBC show in a minute
I like this series so much. I wish watch the season three.
I can’t believe they’ve cancelled yet another brilliant show, I really hope it gets picked up by another network. Netflix are you interested lucifer got another chance hopefully midnight can x
I love this show. I was a faithful True Blood fan & was thrilled when Midnight, Texas began. Please, if your are going to be so foolish as to cancel this show after such a great cliff-hanger finale, continue with Season 3 on another free cable channel. With OnDemand & DVR’s I do not believe ratings can be used to accurately determine how many people are actually watching – and living- many shows!!!!
Love this series – and we have friends who can’t wait to watch the latest episode, too.
I love Midnight Texas so please please let there be a season 3
I love Midnight Texas and would watch it where ever it went. It is a wonderful series.
When it comes back on!!…Plz tell me because i love it since it came.
I love the show and watch it every week, why do all the good shows go
