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 and would love for it to be renewed
I absolutely love Midnight, Texas. Please renew it
We and several others I’m aware of, watch it on Hulu.
We dumped our cable long ago!
I hope they count the viewers that watch it on apps such as hulu! We don’t seem to get Good shows/movies to choose from and when we do.. They cancel it!
Worthy of a 3rd series
Yes

Please renew the series. MY FAMILY LOVE’S THE SHOW ! Tired of all the cops & robber’s shows.
Renew the series for a third season. It is very entertaining
YES!! We would watch a season 3. Loved the supernatural. Been waiting and hoping it would be back.
Bring it back!!!
Why are you cancelling midnight Texas series three. Who do you listen to about these ratings? I’m 60 yrs old and my girlfriend is 72. Every week it’s one of our highlights to get together. We’ve read all Charlaine Harris books and have the dvds. We want series three and all others that cone afterward.
Why why why do television companies make these series and then cancel I really looked forward to midnight Texas I don’t watch much on television but this series I loved it was a wine and popcorn moment please think again and please do season 3
Air out the third Iam impatient
I really hate t wen series I love a cancelled now this…
Would love to see a third season! My friend and I miss it so much!!
They never keep any shows that are good. Lucifer, Midnight Texas. The people who say these shows aren’t any good don’t know good t. V..
I agree with you completely, love Midnight Texas, V wars, Dracula and Lucifer omg who doesn’t love Lucifer? Craziness they get us loving theses great shows, then bam…they’re not bringing them back. Really sucks, I know I’ll miss a few shows this year. Some of these shows people come across on accident, but love them once they find them. I hope it counts no matter how we watch the shows, we tend to DVR, then watch, or watch something’s on Hulu the next day. Sad!!!
