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 watch another season. I love the program.
Ratings do not look that bad….
I’m a big fan of Midnight Texas, I watch it on hulu the next day because I don’t have cable. I only watch a few shows that I enjoy. I hope yoy reconsider and let there be a season 3 Mandred needs to come back Midnight must go on. Big thanks to the cast of Midnight Texas love you all.
I like this show please don’t cancel it
Midnight Texas started out as a great show. They should have kept the grandmother in. The whole thing with Fiji going dark witch though is getting a little stupid. I wish they had held with the book more. I hope the show gets picked up by another network. The characters were interesting and the show has a lot of potential.
This is a very enjoyable show. I look forward to watching it every week. Great ensemble cast and potential for epic stories. Game of Thrones drama on network TV. Yes there is a cheeseyness to it, but makes it all the more enjoyable for not being too seriously into itself. Please don’t cancel this intriguing show!
I like the show, Hope it finds a new network! Like “Last Man Standing”!!!
I am extremely disappointed that one of my favorite Friday night shows is going to be canceled. I can only hope that it’s picked up by Netflix and or Starz for that matter. Hell maybe even HBO, as I’m still not over losing True Blood.
I love that show. Why is NBC so quick to cut the good shows
I love this show. My fiancé and I’ve been watching it since day 1. Please don’t cancel it . if someone else picks it up well watch it there. I love the super natural stuff. I especially love vampires. This show has so much potential. I don’t get why manfred had to die though? We look forward to see this show on Fridays. All the shows we like get canceled. We don’t like the reality shows. Please don’t can’t this show.
I’m sorry to hear that Midnight in Texas is being cancel I enjoy this show, I hope it comes on NETFLIX or any Network I will gladly watch it plus bring back his Grandmother more she was cool. It’s a shame all good show gets cancel and how come it ends with Manfred being killed season 3 has got to picked up!!
I agree, Loved Manfried & his Grandma..
I would SO love to see a 3rd season of Midnight Texas, many more seasons in fact. I believe this show has alot to tell, has really great potential to be one of the best supernatural shows added to all the really great supernatural shows we have now! I’m definitely a fan of Midnight Texas, been there since the pilot, & I want MORE!!!!
I love this show! I faithfully watch and will follow whatever network picks it up!
I truly enjoyed Midnight Texas. I loved the actors and the story lines.Its a shame that NBC canceled it. But putting it on Friday night made it run against Hawaii 50 which is also a show I liked.I also hope another network will pickit up.
I loved the series! First time I have tuned in to new programming in years! Just my luck they are getting cancelled. I hope they get picked up on another channel.
