It looks like NBC is returning to the Lone Star State. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has renewed Midnight, Texas for a second season.
Based on the books by Charlaine Harris, the supernatural drama centers on the inhabitants (human and otherwise) of a small, mysterious Texas town. The cast includes François Arnaud, Dylan Bruce, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Arielle Kebbel, Jason Lewis, Peter Mensah, Sarah Ramos, Yul Vázquez, Bob Jesser, and Joanne Camp.
Midnight, Texas debuted this past July to underwhelming ratings for NBC. Over the course of 10 episodes, season one averaged a .74 rating in the 18-49 demo 2.994 million viewers. And while the numbers are low, Midnight, Texas still managed to be the top-rated summer drama last year.
Producers Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder will take over as showrunners for season two.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – Feb. 14, 2018 – “Midnight, Texas,” the #1 summer broadcast drama in the 18-49 demo, has been renewed for a second season on NBC.
Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder, who served as consulting producers on the first season and have an overall deal with Universal Television, will be showrunners for season two and will executive produce along with David Janollari. The series is produced by Universal Television and David Janollari Entertainment.
The supernatural thriller, which is based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris (author of the novels that inspired “True Blood”), takes a journey into a remote Texas town where nothing is what it seems. In Midnight, Texas, being normal is strange and only outsiders fit in. It’s a mysterious safe haven for those who are different – a perfect place for anyone looking to hide from the outside world.
“I am stoked at the prospect of a second season of ‘Midnight, Texas,'” Harris said. “I can’t wait to revisit my favorite town to discover what its inhabitants have been up to the past few months. Now the viewers, who’ve been asking me questions daily, will have their reward.”
The series stars François Arnaud (“The Borgias”) as Manfred, a charming, powerful psychic who can communicate with spirits and finds safety in Midnight surrounding himself with both human and supernatural allies. Midnight is also home to Bobo, proprietor of the town’s local pawn shop (Dylan Bruce, “Orphan Black”); Fiji, a witch who owns the local wiccan shop (Parisa Fitz-Henley, “Luke Cage”); Olivia, a mysterious assassin with a weapon for every occasion (Arielle Kebbel, “Ballers”); Joe, an angel who knows all of Midnight’s secrets, having been around for millennia (Jason Lewis, “Sex and the City”); Lemuel, a wise vampire with a long history in Midnight (Peter Mensah, “True Blood”); and others.
In praising “Midnight, Texas” last summer, USA Today said the series was “a genuinely fun summer diversion” while the Los Angeles Times added the show was “a charming new take on spooky old stories, with enough magic to keep even cynical viewers engaged.”
“Midnight, Texas” was last summer’s #1 drama on the broadcast networks in the key 18-49 demographic. “Midnight, Texas” ran undefeated in its 10 p.m. Monday timeslot versus its regular ABC and CBS competition in 18-49.”
What do you think? Have you seen Midnight, Texas? Will you watch season two?
I like midnight Texas. I think it is a really good series. the first series blew me away. it’s kinda of reminds me of 3 Series in 1 Charmed, Supernatural, and True blood all I got to say to the GENTLEMAN or LADY upstairs this is one series you got to keep
Can’t wait for it to come back on.
Hooray for season 2!!!
I’m so very pleased and happy to hear that NBC along with universal is going to renew season 2….I will most definitely be watching it….love love love this show….Thank you NBC and Universal for the renewal of Midnight Texas
I will definitely be watching Season 2. Very happy it has been renewed.
Yes. My husband and me really love this series Midnight Texas. It kinda took the hurt from us losing Grimm which was cancelled. Now Midnight Texas is our new show. Thanks for renewing it for a second season.
Excited to see season 2!
Love the show! Can’t wait for season 2!!
Pleased to hear Midnight Texas has been renewed. Absolutely, I’ll watch. Just one question- when is it coming on? I can’t wait!
I love Midnight Texas please have a second season. My favorite character is the vampire of course.
I watched season 1, and ordered the blu-ray. I will watch and enjoy season 2, and any further seasons you have. I watched all seasons of True Blood, and also bought the DVD’s. I think you might want to stretch your demographics to include older fans, like me. (I am 72 years old.)
I’ll be watching as soon as I have a date as of when season 2 will be starting on. And starting or renewing a supernatural, comic book / graphic novel show is the smartest damn thing a production company can do.
I can not wait till season 2 starts I hope to have more n more seasons I was glued to the tv Monday’s and recorded them while at work!!!!
So glad it’s been renewed. The books are great fun and series one was too.
I love Midnight Texas


I can not wait for the second season to start, the characters are awesome and the story line is unbelievable
