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 Midnight Texas! I’m going to miss it terribly! Please bring it back for another season or two or even five??? Please?
someone pick up midnight please.
I really hope another network picks up Midnight, Texas. I love this show and was so happy to have something else to watch besides another reality show or procedural, like the countless police and hospital dramas. I was thankful that NBC picked up Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Netflix picked up Lucifer as well, Fox taking over Last Man Standing and Amazon Prime picking up The Expanse. I hope another network or streaming service realizes that Midnight has a strong and loyal fan base and would pick up more fans that don’t normally watch Friday night programming. Is there a petition started yet… Read more »
My mother and I watch that show. We love it. I think you should make a season three v
Please renew Midnight Texas. So upset this show was cancelled. My husband and I DVR all of our shows. Makes me so mad that people who watch shows primarily from their DVRs aren’t counted in the ratings, which means all ratings are not legit.
I looked forward to watching this quirky show, Midnight, every week. I was hooked from the first episode and eagerly awaited the next Friday episode. I will certainly miss it and am hoping it finds another network to call home.
My husband and I loved this show sucks NBC cancelled it. The only good show they had. Bring it back
Finally NBC had a show I’d watch and the ******** who don’t know **** about a good show cancels it. Guess wouldn’t be watching NBC any more. What a bunch of ********
My husband.and I are very upset that NBC cancelled Midnight Texas. Please keep us updated if they get picked up by another network. This was a different kind of show and we looked forwards to watching the new episodes. Bring it back!
YES YES YES…..This TV show is the S**T…..sorry for the bluntness…..But I love it….I just find out about it and watched every episode back to back and now Im hooked. Now why end it like that with the ending of S02E09 it need more. Im hungry for more…..Now i think….since the Pastor is gone with his abilities similar to a warewolf. Bring in a real one but a good one……Maybe make him a black man I guess….that would be cool…..the town need some more black people in it…….I dont know maybe something like a good alien that was pushed away… Read more »
Amazing show! Better than the dredge that’s out there. Please renew!
I LOVE this show and am furious that its being cancelled. There are no good shows in this venue anymore. Its either all sex and drugs. Police shows Or Reality ..which is not…if anyone believes these shows they are crazy.
I really like Midnight Texas and would love to see a third season . But they shouldn’t wait so long in between seasons .
I wish the season would renew for season 3, It is a good supernatural show and better than some shows on NBC. Kinda mad that there was only 9 episodes. I hope another outlet picks them up
Renew season 4 good show
