Though many critics loved the FX series, Terriers just couldn’t attract enough viewers to stay alive. FX has announced the TV show has been officially cancelled.
Terriers follows a pair of unorthodox and unlicensed private detectives. They’ll take just about any job, no matter how small or how strange. The show stars Donal Logue, Michael Raymond-James, Kimberly Quinn, Laura Allen, Rockmond Dunbar, and Jamie Denbo.
The series debuted to a 0.5 rating among the 18-49 demographic and 970,000 total viewers. When compared to other FX shows, that was a poor showing right from the start. The numbers went lower for subsequent episodes and the recent season finale attracted a 0.3 demo rating and 784,000 viewers.
FX President John Landgraf is expected to discuss the decision later today but ultimately the reason for the cancellation seems quite clear.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Terriers won’t be returning for a second season? Why didn’t it catch on? Was it simply a confusing title or something more?

best show on FX
My husband and I love this show hope another network picks it up. What a shame!
What can the viewers do to get this show back on the air? It was great… I fell in love with the characters and really looked forward to watching it each week. So disappointed!!
I have to say I found the show by accident… saw it on On Demand, liked the name because I own a Terrier… do you think may be you didn’t market well – FX this is your problem – don’t punish us!
One of the best new shows on television….and they keep bringing on more of those BAD reality shows…..COME on people……WATCH SOMETHING WORTHWHILE
I am disappointed. I really liked this show. The characters were very real and likable. Put it on another network.
What a disappointment. The chemistry between the cast was great. There are very few shows I look forward to and this was my number 1 last season. Ahhh so unhappy.
I can’t believe it! With all the crap on tv today why did they have to cancel this show. It was one of our favorites. Why couldn’t TNT or AMC pick it up? They have very few shows we watch. Tell all your friends to write in and complain.
I will watch it on ANY network. I was totally entertained by this season’s offerings.
do they even account for how many people watch it later on sites like hulu? I am a busy momma who only gets to watch tv after my kids go to bed. I really loved this show. very upset to see it left behind 🙁
I cannot believe they cancelled Terriers. I was anxiously waiting for Season 2. With all the crap on tv, they cancel this one???? I hope they change their mind or another station picks them up.
Wonderful show. Who makes these decisions. Hope another station picks this up.
Really sorry to hear that FX is cancelling “Terriers”. I, too, think it was one of the best shows on the air. Right up there with “Sons of Anarchy” as far as writing, acting, character development, etc., etc. I don’t feel the show was advertised enough, or given enough time to develop a bigger following. Maybe FX will rethink??? They usually have better judgement than this!
this was the one show we really looked forward to each week. Characters were rounded and believable, worked great together. the loyalty between the guys was an awesome part of te show – please don’t break them up. OK, a bit overboard with going after such a huge bad guy. would like to see a one more season chance with smaller jobs. don’t leave us with the straight to mexico or turn to prison. come back come back please.
P.S. – This would be great programming for TNT – anyone listening?
I just found out the show was cancelled!!! I was recording the series, I am so ticked off!! Please bring it back
