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?
Please please bring this show back love love love it
I love this show. Bring it back for season 3! Very disappointed to learn its been dropped. I hope another network picks it up!!
Midnight is fab, there has to be a third series. I have loved watching both series. Advertise more, especially in the uk, more will watch x
Bring back Midnight Texas…!!!
I love Midnight Texas!!!! You should bring it back! Maybe Netflix can buy it they’ve done it with other shows! Please bring it back!!! Don’t leave us hanging like that!
Seriously?!? I was wondering why I didn’t see it this summer. Maybe you should have “thought” and tried a different night-Grimm got canceled for the same reason-most people don’t stay home Friday nights or watch tv! You got rid of the best show you had in your “deck”-literally, you only have like 2 other shows worth watching…the CW and ABC are miles ahead of you, maybe one of them will be smart enough to see what a great show this is and they’ll actually get the ratings you just can’t seem to pull.
Was my favorite show on TV. Please bring it back.
I love,love,love Midnight TX. I loved grim but that’s gone. Please think again about bringing it back again. To me it was very entertaining.
Five stars ***** Thank you.
Helen G. Saucke. A big fan!!!!
Please bring back the show. I loved it
please bring midnight back its a great series
It’s a shame Midnight Texas was canceled. Quirky, yes. Nearing campy, yes. A great show with a great storyline, yes. There’s also not another show on television that compares to Midnight. Hopefully, it’ll be marketed and sold to another outlet that can breathe new life into this little gem.
I loved this show!! I wish they hadn’t cancelled it. I was ready for season 3!!!
I love this show, it had a little bit of everything which made it a favorite in my book. PLEASE KEEP MIDNIGHT TEXAS!!!
I would absolutely watch another season. Much different than other shows on the air
This is one of my favorite shows to watch. I always looked forward to watching it whenever it was on. This show definitely needs to be renewed for another season.
