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 I would appreciate a third and fourth season. I love this show, it seems like every show that isn’t a reality show gets canceled. there’s no good television anymore because they let you watch it get you interested in it and then cancel it. That’s too bad because it’s a really good show it’s fun.
There needs to be a 3rd season!! The show is too good to leave it at such a cliffhanger!!
Great show,I hope someone picks it up,great characters
Really loved the show. I do hope that season three will be picked up. So disappointed.
As a fanatical fan of True Blood, of course I loved this show. I watched both seasons and would definitely be watching season 3. I really hope it gets picked up by another station. Hopefully one with a bigger budget. I’d also love to see a crossover between the two shows!
Really liked Midnight Texas!! I really hope another network picks it up.
Really disappointed with this news. I loved Midnight, Texas I thought the second season was awesome. Really hope it gets picked up and we get a season 3, fingers crossed!
My husband and I enjoyed everything about Midnight Texas! We hope it’s picked up by another channel!

NBC stop putting these great shows on Fridays when people go out! I love this show and all my friends would get together to watch it! Stop cancelling the great shows! With cable TV having so much more options there’s nothing I even want to watch on your channel anymore! Bring back this great show!
