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?
Oh definitely yes please bring it back I love that show and I miss it so much
OMG Such a awesome scary but also the people of M.T.are good people. Which makes a scary show different. Which makes this show stand out. Among about a hundred other reasons why this shows should NOT be cancelled.Networks ALWAYS cancel the really good shows. But KEEP the boring Detective or dr.or fireman show up to like 10 seasons. I don’t get it I don’t watch those boring. And they’re all the same no matter what network they’re on!!! I can’t believe they’re going to leave us hanging the way midnight Texas ended season 2. Wow really? I think the reason… Read more »

Heck ya I loved the show, so did my teenage daughter, we watched it together! We will follow it, wherever it goes!!!!!
Yes bring it back, it is awesome
Hi there my name is Max and the reason why I am making a comment is because midnight Texas is an amazing show and totally awesome and I seriously think that he should bring the show back it was stupid and ridiculous of them to cancel it because I know when it is a good show and trust me this is a good show it’s a good investment and everybody that is in it he has done a really good job. I think it had a really good storyline and I would compare it to shows like Westworld, Sabrina, stranger… Read more »
Max, Hi, FIRE FLY was another really awesome show that they canceled. I never watched it until I saw it on one of my streaming channels it was killer. They always cancel the really good shows and keep the boring shows season after season. Which are either cops doctors or firemen.BORING monotonous they’re on every free Network channel and they’re all the same. Another good one that I’m sure won’t have a season 3 is manifest. You just got me thinking about Firefly. I sure hope one of the streaming channels picks up midnight Texas that’s all we can hope… Read more »
please please please bring it back!! I don’t care who airs it just please bring it back and at least finish the series and end it the way the author wants it to end
I too love this show, please, bring it back, give us another season and more please!
Bring it back
I never knew this show existed until a few days ago and I binged watched both seasons and quite disappointed that there’s no other seasons. Would watch them all and hope it’s brought back.
I’m so tired of great shows being cancelled, they run some of the dumbest shows on for years and I sit and can’t believe that people actually watch this crap and then they cancel the good ones!!!! BRING BACK MIDNIGHT TEXAS!!!!
That sums it up in a nutshell hun. Either cops doctors fireman year after year after year and no matter what network they’re on they’re all the same boring. I do not get how those shows go on and on. It’s like you said all the great shows they let you have a couple seasons and then they’re canceled. I’m sure manifest won’t make it to season 3 either. It’s another really great killer show. Out of the norm.
I love this show please bring it back
Our family loves this show! Please put it back on the air! It had so many great characters and we miss them.
slow start at first, but now i really want some more of this show!love it
My husband and I love this show! I can’t believe that it is being cancelled! Please, don’t leave us with a million cop and stupid contest shows with untalented unprofessional people!
