The first installment of the Midnight, Texas TV show aired as an NBC summer TV series. While it didn’t exactly light the Nielsen ratings afire, it did manage to avoid cancellation. Now that the second season is airing during the regular television season, the pressure is on. Can this fantasy-mystery prove itself, or will its Friday night time slot prove the stake in its heart? Will Midnight, Texas be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
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.
