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?
Keep the show!!!! I watched 5 episodes in one day…. on HULU of course. Ratings might not be great because people are watching shows on HULU and Netflick. Great show!!!
Please keep the show. Yes it started rocky in the first two episodes, but it got really interesting. Learn to give the show a chance. If it weren’t good, the pilot would have never got picked up. it got picked up due to the storyline and its actors. Come on FOX!!!!
Don’t cancel! A great intriguing sci fi show that needs to further develop with more episodes.
DO NOT CANCEL THE SHOW!!! I REPEAT DO NOT CANCEL THE SHOW!!!!
Please don’t cancel it…it’s a very intriguing show…it keeps you entertained and keeps your mind wondering what’s going to happen on the next episode. I love it !
Keep the show! I like it compared to many other new shows this season.
Don’t cancel, it’s just getting good
Very interesting and different show him they didn’t give it a chance to survive

I just started watching this show on Hulu and am disappointed that there might note be another season. I think Fox souls keep the show. Its entertainment. ..
I like very much this tv series,I hope that Fox changes idea because is a very original show.
I’m waiting for seaon 2 please!
When you put on a good tv series and then decided that you wish to cancel season 2 like minority report and Black Box getting all the viewers high hope up and waiting for season 2 to come out as it was such a Damn good series then you decide to cancel leaving all viewers upset and if you continue doing this you are going to lose a lot of viewers and viewers and looking to go elsewhere if you continue doing this and it’s not going to look good on you now is it
I really like this show and episode 10 was great. I really hope Fox renews this show. It has a great cast and great plots. I am tuned in every 1 hour episode and I can’t wait for next Mondays episode. I don’t have excitement for TV shows that often. Fox please renew.
it’s good show… i hope there are another season too… save the show…
