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 really hope it comes back on for a 3rd season!!! Seems like everything I watch and like gets cancelled!!! Please please renew!!!
I hope Netflix or syfy bring it back. Not enough of these type of shows. Way too many hospital dramas or law dramas. They cancelled Dracula And Moonlight too early too.
My wife and daughter and i love midnight texas we pray it will come back …
Please bring it back……i am addicted
I’m 65 and I loved the show. I couldn’t wait for it to come back for Season 2, and was so disappointed when I learned that the powers that be at NBC aren’t bringing it back for a Season 3. The characters are all great and relatable, and the storylines kept you coming back for more.
This show was unique, fun to watch, had horror and mystery mixed with a little dry humor, and definitely had great story lines. But what would I know? I’m 64, not part of the 25-49 year or old demographic that Neilsons and all the networks single out to be watch worthy. My 13 yr. old grandson watches it along with my 41 yr old daughter and others.
NOOO!!! Please somebody pick it up I love this show?
LOVE this series! Someone PLEASE pick it up! SO SAD it was canceled.
Absolutely!!!
Absolutely! Loved the show. “Lucifer” was canceled but picked up by Netflix…..so hopefully this will for “Midnight Texas”.
WAIT! I love Midnight, Texas. I don’t want it to go. They just put it on a bad night. They need to put it on a night when other supernatural shows are on, like Charmed. Those are the nights it will have an audience. Everyone goes out on Friday night that might watch this. Please keep it on but try on a Thursday, PLEASE!!
I love Midnight Texas. I couldn’t wait for the series to come back and then I couldn’t wait for each week. Please bring this show back!!! I looked forward to this show every week. Please please someone pick it up!!!
Please please PLEASE bring Midnight Texas back!!! Its one of my favorite shows and I very much looked forward to watching it every Friday. If NBC wont pick it back uo then see if Netflix will. But BRING IT BACK PLEASE!!!!!
Yes I love Midnite Texas!!! We waited every week for a new episode and have watched both seasons over and over. Please bring this GROUND BREAKING SHOW back! The Lem and his wife characters are amazing and Joe and Chuy broke new ground. We love it!!!
I would definitely watch this show for many more seasons I love it.
I would watch many more seasons! Please bring it back.
