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?
Renew!!! This is seriously one of the best shows on tv right now.
I enjoyed the series very much. It is one of my favorites of the shows that previewed this season. I don’t understand why the ratings are so low. I would like to see it given another chance. Maybe a change in time or day. Life jacket please!
I started watching the show do to my love of the movie. Yes it is a bit different yet I love it. I really want to see the other 3 episodes they have. Please bring this back. Or make it a series on Netflix. You have people that do enjoy shoes like this yet today more and more people want to watch reality shows. I want the shows that take me out of reality. Bring it back please and thank you.
Please keep the show, we’ve been watching sick the first episode it is a great show. Why are all if the good shows being cancelled??
Renew it! Best show on TV, you guys just aren’t playing to the right demographics!
Please renew this!!! The first few episodes were slow but then it got soooooo good!!! I’m addicted and I feel that if people had stuck with it halfway through it became what was expected. I have high hopes for this one and I look forward to it so please please please don’t cancel! If there are enough people saying don’t cancel then I think Fox should reconsider doing at least a few more episodes. After tonight’s episode I need to know what happens next!
Renew it !!!!!
I didn’t start watching the show in the beginning bc I rarely watch fox unless I’m watching empire. Once I watched it on demand I have been hooked and finally caught up today. I hope it hasn’t been cancelled bc it was/is a good show. I hate that this is the 2nd good show that Ms. Good has been on but has been cancelled.
Loved it!! Please renew it!!
Minority Report is one of the best shows on tv at the moment and I am hoping very much that it comes back for a second season.
I REALLY REALLY LOVE MINORITY REPORT. MY HEART IS BROKEN THAT IT IS ENDING. PEOPLE MUST NOT BE ACTUALLY WATCHING IT OR GIVING IT A FAIR CHANCE. IT IS COMPLEX, INTERESTING, AND I CAN NEVER WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE! PLEASE RECONSIDER THE DECISION. I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS SHOW EVERY MONDAY!
I loved the show and wish that they will reconsider canceling it
FANTASTIC SHOW!!!! Please renew it. The writing was outstanding.
I really enjoyed the show. I wish that they would keep with it. I had to miss a couple episodes at first but I caught up quick and was always excited for the next episode.
Please renew, great sci-fi!
