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?

Love this show. Please find a new network.
Please bring Midnight, Texas back! I’m surprised at ratings as I’ve really enjoyed the show. I’d love to see a third season.
I Love this show! It reminded me of the way Friday nights used to be!!!! The only reason I think ratings were so low is like a lot of shows…you don’t know it on TV. Or.. they move it, or change the time it’s on!
We have full busy lives but when we find a show that we like and gives us an Escape for an hour…!
I say leave our shows ALONE & let us try to enjoy our Friday’s again.
Bring Back our “Midnight Texas”
Please-Please-Please…. ThankYou !
I have read the books that Midnight, Texas is based on. The books are quirky, funny, sweet and interesting. I was really looking forward to the series and just like True Blood, I was disappointed. The story line strayed so far from the source material, it was unrecognizable. I missed the season finale because I forgot it was on.
Please don’t cancel Midnight Texas.. I love that show.. I Didn’t even know for two weeks that it had begun again.. So I caught up on Demand. I Hope that you can bring it back.. Please……Karen
It’s got to be said, Season 2 was hella good. So much better then Season 1 which i also enjoyed. Hope they can bring it back for a 3 Third Season.
Lord I hope they bring the show back it was my favorite… bring back Midnight, Texas!!! Love fegi and bono and all the crew from Midnight!!!
