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?
Please renew this show. I am so disappointed that all the thought provoking type of shows always seen to be cancelled. This an interesting and intriguing show to watch and my daughter and I will miss it sorely.
plz renew
it amazing show plz
play renew
Renew please 🙂 We were excited to learn it was screening and weren’t disappointed. I would rate it one of the top 10 tv series of the past year, it was a ‘must watch’ in our household.
Good show. Too bad our opinion won’t change anything, here or @FOX itself —I’m sure FOX isn’t reading or gives a crap of what we think. They R in this for the $, not to please us.
Is it that the same thing?
I do think it had a slow start, but I think it’s really stepped it up. It needs to be given a chance for a second season. Re-introducing and marketing could bring viewers back and increase viewership. I’ve truly become a fan. Give it a chance to grow!
I watch Minority Report every Monday night, no matter how tired or busy I am, and record it for re-watching in case I missed any details. I loved the premise, and I found the characters engaging and the story compelling. I love it even better than the movie. I understand that it is quite possibly cancelled, but I’m also crossing my fingers it will continue even if in a different platform or network.
My husband and I watch Minority Report every Monday.
I tape DWTS because I prefer Minority Report.
I think being up against DWTS puts it in the lower ratings.
It’s a great show.
RENEW! RENEW! RENEW! Minority report is refreshing and a cup of tea for me after a long day of hard work at school. I know some people dont like that it veered off the movie but I still loved it. Give this show a chance! Every episode had me on my toes especially since everyone thought Vega would sell out the Precogs.
I liked the show as did my son and his girl friend. I hope they keep it
SO FAR MINORITY REPORT IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW SHOWS I WATCH. I WOULD HATE FOR IT TO END. ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH A CLIFFHANGER. I MEAN WHAT HAPPENS NOW. DON’T LEAVE ME PULLING AT THE THREADS.
Of all the new shows out there this one is one of the best slow start but extremely engaging and will have a cult following.
I love this show! It is better than blindspot and that’s already been renewed for a second season. Keep minority report please!
I find Minority Report very entertaining and I have been watching every episodes on Hulu+. So, please renew it and don’t cancel it. So far, for Fall 2015, the only Fox shows I’ve been watching are: Bones, Minority Report and Sleepy Hollow. I would definitely like to add The X-Files, Second Chance and Lucifer into my watch list for 2016.
I watch it EVERY Monday with my 16 year old son….we look forward to watching it! Please renew
