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?
Disappointed liked the show-was really the only thing I watched in NBC and. Tried to catch when it was on..
I love Midnight Texas! I’m 67 and looked forward to the show every week. Great characters. I hope it comes back!!
Loved this show when I heard it was coming back on I thought I can’t miss this.it maybe not everyone cup of tea but me and my daughter loved it.i love super natural.please make more series with all the cast in it
Agree with you 100% not everyone is into reality tv. Our house loves everything supernatural vampires, witches, werewolves, seers, give us them all.
I loved the show bring it back with same full cast. Stop the bottom line b.s.,it was good show. Why does everything have to be about money,I love supernatural shows. Cancel the real life scrap. We all need a break from reality seriously.
Really liked the show so disappointed it has been cancelled. I wouldn’t mind so much if when you cancelled shows you did a wrap up season or even a movie.
It really stinks that I have been waiting all summer for my favorite shows. Waiting for resolutions to cliffhangers. Cliffhangers which your writers and producers put. there, to make us want another season. It makes it all the more aggravating. Teasing a hungry dog not only gets you bit. Teasing your viewing audience not only makes us angry, but puts us off future endeavors.
I can’t believe that it might be canceled…that’s crazy! Its an excellent series. Wish there was someway to bring it back. Its rediculous! Bring it back!!
I have been waiting for the the 3rd season and I know several people who will be very disappointed that it’s not coming back. Seems to me it’s a ploy to put it into reruns and make more money that way.
I love this show! Someone please bring it back.
Shame, I really enjoyed this show, was looking forward to more.
I was sad to hear they were cancelling the series, I was hoping for a season 3.
I LOVE THE SHOW…..I HOPE SOMEONE PICKS IT UP…….
