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?

My husband and I are so bummed this was cancelled! We didn’t miss an episode. It had a great mix of drama and comedy and we loved the cast. The title was weird and could see people not tuning in unless they saw an ad for it. We’ll really miss it! Get rid of reality TV!
I thought it was well written and very refreshing. It was an adult program without being sleazy. I loved it. With so many staged reality TV shows on, I was delighted to finally find a gritty, interesting program that had great music intriging plots. Very sorry to see it go.
What a bummer. I just got done watching The Chicago Code and saw Hank’s police officer partner on it and new that Terriers must have been cancelled. Another good show down the tube.
Can’t believe FX cancelled this show. The storylines were well written, and the casting was perfect. Hopefully another network will realize what a gem this show is, and pick it up. I agree with a comment that was made, Terriers didn’t receive enough publicity.
It’s a shame. Great show. Intelligent, well-written, superbly acted. FX should have given it a chance. I know plenty of people who didn’t even know it existed.
I agree with you 100%
Every great show gets canceled. I loved this show been wondering whens 2nd season was starting & of course soon as I look it up its been canceled wtf man wtf thats all i can say!
You know they call it a cliff hanger for a reason! I think the producers of the show should try 6 episodes for season 2, just to give the show a chance. There is a good possibility that some people didn’t know about the show. I’m sure, if given the chance Terriers would be worth the risk……..
Really loved the cast, acting, story line. Really sorry to see this canceled with there were some way to bring it back. Was looking forward to which direction Hank turned at the ending of the last episode.
Enough with reality shows. How many more housewives do we have to suffer with. Bury them all. Terrier had good story lines, serious and comedy. Bring it back!
so sorry!!
i loved this show, it had a great story line and was well done.
I’m tired of these networks just cancelling show after show.
Perhaps I should just quite watching TV all together!
Loved this show!!! Why do they keep the crappy reality shows and cancel the good ones??
needs to find away back!!!!@
Damn, this show was so good and the acting was superb.
I just love this show.Different from the series we’v got at the moment. Brilliant characters with a nice scenario! i’m so sad 🙁
