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. This is my kind of show. Same reason I watch Discovery of Witches, True Blood, ShadowHunters. Demons, Angles, Vampires, Were Wolfs, Fairies, Good vs Evil. Hope someone picks this up.
This is a great show, I have been waiting for season 3, so very heart broken.Damn NBC
Arggh, we list Grim and now another great show in Midnight. Friday night TV sucks again.
I hope another network picks it up, I would like to see a season 3.
Love the series even if it took off in a completely different direction than the books. Watched all episodes and will watch if it returns on another channel. Please don’t leave us in the dark!
I LOVED it I certainly hope someone picks it up, I think they just didn’t advertise the show enough
Midnight Texas is an awesome show. My whole family and a huge gang of friends absolutely love this show. NBC should consider a third season for it. If not, let’s hope that other networks will seriously give this show a good look and a new home.
You cant end it like that its not fair you get me hooked then cancel . I dont think you gave the show a fair chance.
We loved Midnight Texas!!!! We are so sad it won’t be returning. Maybe Netflix will pick it up.
I think they should bring Midnight Texas back, I love those kind of shows. Just like the Grimm every time I find a good show I really like they take it off, I could name a few more but what good would it do.
NBC didn’t do itself and good by not promoting the series .
When I heard about it, the show was already on second season!!!
Bring it back , run commercials about it.
Or sell it to someone who will.
Great cast and great story line
But add new characters with new powers etc.
I love this show. Unique storylines and great casting keep me glued to each episode. I got to this show (listed alphabetically under the “renewed/cancelled list) before I cared about any of them. If I picked one show to come back from the list it would be Midnight, Texas.
I love this show; it’s unique storyline and great casting keep me glued to each episode. As I was going down the list of “renewed or cancelled” shows, I got to this one (they were alphabetical) before I cared about any of them. Really hope someone else picks it up.
I love Midnight, Texas…please bring the show back. I would definitely watch season 3
