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?
Love the show..fox should reconsider..maybe air with second chance make a platform for sci-fi shows..i think ratings would do better if they aired sci-fi shows together..#scfi-thrusday.. Or something like that
Love the show..fox should reconisder..maybe air with second chance..make a platforn for sci-fi intended showa..i think ratings would do better if they aires sci-fi shows together..#scfithrusday or something like that
I am soooooo sad I love minority report you can’t just end it with “RUN!!!” and expect the fans to not be expecting another season. Like how rude at least make an ending so that we understand its over but man Im soooo sad.
I was home sick with the flu and started watching this on demand. What a great show! I do not like a lot of shows on TV these days but the whole family got hooked. Please bring it back!!!
I was a fan, and looking forward to watching that show!
I rarely watch anything on TV nor do I go to movie theaters. This was the one show that interested me watch TV again. Bring back minority report. Asap.
Pls, don’t cancel this awesome show.
I really enjoyed the show and the relationships of the characters. I was anticipating the return of the show so that I could see what happened next.
Please don’t cancel this series. It is so much better than what else is available. Stick with a winner.
Isn’t that the reason it is getting cancelled? Because it wasn’t a winner?
I have been anticipating a next episode thinking it was just winding up for the new year. I really liked this show. It had great potential to grow.
I hope Minority Report can be saved. I really enjoy the show. Its the only show I watched on fox, besides the Dr. Oz show. I am a big fan of Megan Good and I can’t wait for the next show. Hope their will be a whole season!
I really liked the show. Feel it did not have a good commercial schedule. Alot of people i talked to on facebook, Said they didn’t hear anything about it 🙁
I really like the show. Don’t cancel it.
I liked the show very much. You have 2 of the 3 pre cogs not trusting the Detective and it how all ended at the end of the 10th episode. People today have the attention span of a moron. Why is it that people think So you think you can dance is a better TV show? You want to see people dancing go out into he streets or better yet go to a club. Don’t even get me started on the X-Files cause that falls under the category of people being dumb and idiotic.
I’ve been anticipating Season 2. It was a great show and Meagan Good did great! If it’s not returning, I already miss it. I’ve been looking online hoping to see a Season 2 air date.
I love this show please save it
