A couple weeks ago, FOX decided to cut the episode order for the first season of Minority Report from 13 to 10 episodes. So, has the show been cancelled?
Set in Washington D.C. 2065, Minority Report follows Lara Vega (Meagan Good), a homicide detective who becomes connected with Dash (Stark Sands). He’s a psychic “precog” who’s haunted by images of future crimes and is on a mission to stop them from happening. The rest of the cast includes Nick Zano, Laura Regan, Wilmer Valderrama, Daniel London, Li Jun Li, Zhane Hall, and Tina Lifford.
The series debuted on September 21st to a 1.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.1 million viewers. That was a very disappointing debut, especially for a high profile series that was given a lot of promotion from the network. The ratings dropped nearly 20% in week two and then fell about the same amount again in week three.
They evened off in week four but last Monday’s installment hit another new low — falling to an embarrassing 0.58 in the demo with just 1.82 million.
With such terrible ratings, there’s no chance that the network will be considering ordering a second season. At this point, with ratings this low, it’s very possible FOX execs will pull Minority Report off the schedule earlier than planned. At the moment, there’s only one more episode on the schedule.
While the network has not officially admitted that Minority Report has been cancelled (there’s no benefit for them to do so), it surely has been. Production is wrapping with episode 10 and no further episodes will be ordered.
What do you think? Do you like the Minority Report TV show? Are you sorry that it’s being cancelled? Do you think it should be saved?
Ive been waiting for this show to come back on only,v to find out tonight that it isn’t. This show had so much more to offer viewers that other shows didn’t and still don’t. So disappointed that its off the air 🙁
I love this show please bring it back !!! Try putting it on a different night.
It was better than most of the stuff that’s out there. It deserved a second season.
It was better than most of the stuff out there. Not great, but it deserved a scond season.
Omg I am so upset to hear they are cancelling this show! At least finish it they left us hanging in the balance. Smh no words jus upset n disappointed. Greed always wins out when it shouldn’t.
I enjoyed the show and was looking forward t returning to finish or the next season. If Fox doesn’t want to give the another run let Yahoo or Hulu take it over. The concept of the show was great and the story was building up for an exciting season.
I think get another chance I think it deserve one and that does not happen let hulu take it over
Fox should definitely keep Minority Report for another season. There was finally a reason for me to watch a Fox show and now they’re thinking of cutting it before giving it a real shot?? Give the show a chance.The storyline was great, action was awesome and it leaves you wanting more. I am looking forward to season 2. Fox, KEEP THIS SHOW!!
I’ve been waiting for the show to come back.. but to hear this I’m disappointed. Just please bring back Minority Report! Thanks
Yes yes.give it another season its a good show.but needs to on when empire and shows like rosewood aren’t on…minority report is a damn good show shame on fox for cancelling it..this show deserves to be on the air..meghan good and val are great!!!!
Finally a show I was turning to Fox to watch and they are not planning to keep it? Sometimes it takes time to get a fan base. Too bad they are not giving the show a chance. I wonder if this means I should do the same. I really liked the show.
Isn’t the point of entertainment to reach out to some sort of audience no matter how small? Judging by the comments already left I’d say it’s got several fans hungry for more…and if that’s not what a series is supposed to accomplish than I’m not sure what the goal is. Minority report is a mind blowing concept accompanied by beautifully crafted characters and it deserves to continue. Maybe it reaches out to people previously uninterested in current entertainment. This opens up a whole new fan base for this type of show and could lead to creating many more fresh ideas…which… Read more »
I thought it was s good show. I wish they would keep it on.
No please don’t!! I LOVE this show and I really want to see it unfold as it goes on so please don’t cancel it
Minority Report was the one show I looked forward to after school. I’m in 8th grade and I don’t have very much time to watch TV. I chose this show because i was immediately drawn to it. It was my favorite show and I still watch it on Hulu. They should try it again fora second season. They should know that FOX just ruined the one thing I looked forward to. Well, you know the world, always crushing my dreams and taking away the things I love. My family, grandma, and now the one show had time to watch. If… Read more »
