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?
We LOVE midnight! Please make season 3 happen somewhere!
Of COURSE they cancelled Midnight, Tx, it’s one of my favorite shows
I love this show and I am Extremely upset it won’t be back! It seems all the good shows get cancelled, while all the crappy ones go on forever! Netflix, if you’re listening, PLEASE pick up this great show!!
I love this type of show and I also watch “Supernatural” on CW. I would definitely follow this show to another network. I just hope they don’t make you pay, like they did with “The Mindy Project” and “The Good Fight.” If they handled this show better and gave it a better slot, it would get better ratings. They are just killing it through neglect.
What a surprise, NBC cancelled an amazing supernatural show!!! Why even pick up the show if we both know you aren’t going to keep it for long. Should’ve let another network have it, a network that actually cared about the show. I’ve been bummed for the last couple days because of this news. News I knew I would get eventually. Lol! I was hanging on to hope. I really thought it had a chance with it being SO GOOD in its sophomore season. It’s one of those shows that just gets better and better! I PRAY that it gets picked… Read more »

I love this show. I would definitely watch another season.
I love this show! It is different, entertaining, and interesting. Come on Netflix, Hulu, etc…give it life!!
Please keep this show!! I love it! Loyal Fan
I would definitely watch a Season 3 – but any show with promise would have to go on NetFlix or a premium channel. NBC like the rest of the Broadcast channels censors and pushes far too many ads (11 min in a 30 min slot !?!) It was all I could stand to watch this show regularly. With this show gone, I no longer have any reason to watch any Broadcast channels.
Love the show! Please someone pick this show up!
