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?

I was an extra in this show, and by my surprise I fell in love with it! It was well written, interesting and deep. I really looked forward to it every week for the strong characters, hoping it will be on DVD at least!
what if you move the show to another network and relonched it ?
God Damnit!! i loved this frickin show it was grate, maby the demos for the show were too vague tdk, this sucks, i had so many questions, do they go to mexico or what? this was such a good show man i think you all need to just make this show for fun. wish that didint happin man damn.Is there a place that i reed the story of what happins in the 2nd season or somthin i got to know what happins!!!!….Damn!
Terriers was a good show. I was looking for season 2 and its no more!!!!!!!
Whats wrong with you producers???
I to really liked this show with all the other cop drama just way overdone!!! Bring it back!!
Oh well, let’s hope Lights Out fares better and I am happy to see Justified returning…tonight in fact!
What?? OMG I LOVED this show, it had everything little suspense, little humor, little action, C’mon. Like someone else I’d bought the season on Itunes got totally hooked and here now what, I never get to know Did they go straight or did they hang a left to Mexico!!!! I just love Donal Logue there’s something about him that’s absolutely lovable. He’s charismatic and funny, and gritty at the same time. He brings that to all his characters no matter what show, Grounded for Life, even when he was a vampire in Blade. And I totally agree with Sherry the… Read more »
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate to see that Terriers won’t return. It was fresh, creative and interesting. In addition to the two best shows on television (Sons of Anarchy & Justified), it was one of the few shows I looked forward to every week. If it weren’t for FX and the worth-while shows they provide, cable would be nothing more than a morass of useless reality shows like American Idol and Big Brother! Please reconsider and realize the public IS ready for television that makes you think! And what ever you do NEVER cancel Justified or Sons of Anarchy. At that point,… Read more »
This program is so entertaining and worth keeping for many more seasons. If FX doesn’t think that it’s valuable then let another, more forward thinking network pick it up. Here’s hoping we’ll see Hank and Britt again.
people are not watching live televison anymore, like the guy up there said he bought it on itunes, nothing wrong with it i do it. but they dont take that into account or how many people watch it on demand, it was a very good season and good show. the characters were solid yet unpredictable and it was differnt then every other show involving a cop now days. FX you best bring this show back or at least open your eyes and look at sales of season 1 and other figures then when its on t.v. p.s. you guys did… Read more »
This is really disappointing news! I kept looking for the annoucement for when this would start back for the second season. Please put it back on!!!!!!
Bring it back! Bring it back! I loved this show.
been waiting for this show to go back on and have now found out that it has been canceled…I looked forward to it…it was different and the charachters were rough around the edges but they had warmth and strong feelings behind those strong exteriors….maybe the shows they were up against was the main problem..give them another chance……
I bought season 1 of Terriers on I-Tunes and I think it’s the best show in a long time on TV. In the era of Law and Order nightly and CSI everywhere Terriers is totally original and should be brought back. I am so disappointed that it was canceled while stupid shows like The Biggest Loser and Survivor made it season after season. (If you want to know the BIGGEST LOSER look in the mirror). For crying out loud Friday Night Lights (the modern day Waltons) has been brought back to live time and time again. Give us something good… Read more »
I was waiting for this show to come back! It’s great! Please reconsider. The two leads work well together and it was very real in the character portrayals. I think you have a hit and should bring it back!!!!!!!!
