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.

I love Midnight Texas. I am sad it has been cancelled. Hopefully it will be moved to a channel I already get because I am not paying for additional channels.
I like this show and I I wanted it to be a regular thing like Supernatural. Not just a few episodes and gone for another year. I have to watch it on Hulu because I work during the time it originally airs. NBC is ******** up big time! If they sold Merchandise like T shirts, posters, ect, they would make serious bank. Put more into marketing and advertising and maybe have a charitable contribution like Supernatural does, they would have a mega hit!
Please don’t cancel or give it to Netflix
Gee, maybe if they moved it back to summer, it would do better. Probably go to Amazon, or Netflix like every other series I used to watch.
Great idea. Summer is a wasteland of decent TV.
Yes!! Love the show!!! Just can’t get the channel to come in over my antenna
I absolutely love Midnight, Texas! Fun, inventive story lines and engaging characters! What a shame that it is getting canaceled! When I talked to friends and family to recommend this program, they had never heard if it – little to no advertising so if ratings are where they need to be, little wonder. I really hope it is picked up by another carrier!
This is a great show NBC needs to stop cutting shows .And leaving us fans hanging.
I looked forward to season 2, it met my expectations +. It was disappointing to hear that it is canceled. I hope that it is picked up elsewhere. I would definitely would continue following this series.
I love this show!!! I hope another network picks it up!!! Maybe take it to HBO! LOL Every show I like always gets canclled!
Yes! Love the midnight in Texas series!
Love Midnight Texas! Waiting semi impatiently for season two. Please continue it on another network…
YES! This show interesting and unpredictable. Really enjoyed its twist and turns.
I would love to see the series continue! I enjoy seeing the different supernaturals come together to battle good and evil. Seems like a great opportunity for either Syfy or The CW to pick up since NBC isn’t getting the ratings they need to continue the show. Save Midnight, Texas!!
why does they have to cancel midnight Texas
it’s a great show to see.
