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?
Yes. Film Season 3! My whole family watched the show and we will watch Season 3.
I would love to see then have a season three. It is one my favorite shows. I hope another network would pick up like CW or Netflix!
I would love to watch a season three! I sure hope another network picks up the show!!
I would absolutely love to watch a season three of Midnight Texas.
Plz someone pick Midnight Texas up, I really am into this show
Man I really love this show I truly hope someone picks this up
Please bring this back it is so good ugh its always the good shows they end midseaseon
I am a huge fan and never missed a show and have gotten a ton of my friends to start watching and now they cancelled it. I truly hope it finds a new home somewhere cause it was fantastic.
My wife and I loved Midnight, Texas. I hate it when a well-acted show with great characters doesn’t get to finish the story. Anyone remember when ABC stiffed it’s viewers by cancelling Resurrection, the great show about when people who had died years before started reappearing? We never got to learn where they came from.
I completely agree and when shows like both of these just disappear drives me crazy lol
Midnight texas was thrilling as an horror show. Anyway it’s sad to hear those shows are canceled out out when ppl got intrigued by them. I love this show so bad and Now NBC canceled it out. Why showing it to the public if you were about to that?.. i’m Furious of seeing my favorite shows are canceled out.
I enjoyed most of the characters in Midnight. I was sad to see the show has been cancelled. It’s not often I watch TV, but I made sure I watched this show. I hope they find a new home. With 2 characters exiting the show (the Rev and Chewy), I began to see the end was near. Disappointing. Just where is NBC getting their ratings from? The “reality TV” addicts?? I’m sad Midnight is gone. Won’t be watching NBC anytime soon. And yes, I’d watch more seasons.
I can’t believe they cancelled Midnight Texas. I loved that show. It seems like every time I really enjoy a show they cancel it. I could have watched the show forever. Sorry to see it being cancelled. I’m so tired of watching Investigation shows.
Please put this show back on!!! I am very disappointed that this show was cancelled.
I loved Midnight Texas and so did my friends.I can’t believe it was cancelled.Please bring it back,go to another network if NBC won’t renew.It was a great show
