NBC isn’t staying friends with The Enemy Within. The network has cancelled the freshman drama series so there won’t be a second season coming for 2019-20.
A psychological thriller, The Enemy Within stars Jennifer Carpenter, Morris Chestnut, Raza Jaffrey, Kelli Garner, Cassandra Freeman, and Noah Mills. The character-based drama centers on former CIA operative and now infamous traitor Erica Shepherd (Carpenter) and FBI Agent Will Keaton (Chestnut). In order to apprehend a looming threat, Keaton must tap Shepherd’s expertise, even though she’s serving a life sentence in a supermax prison.
The first season of The Enemy Within averaged a 0.74 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.40 million viewers. The defacto series finale aired on May 20th.
Compared to the other scripted NBC TV shows of the 2018-19 season, the series ranks 10th in the demo and seventh in total viewers. Based on the rankings, it would seem like the series would be renewed but the ratings trended downward as the season progressed. Considering that The Enemy Within had The Voice as a lead-in, NBC execs were likely not satisfied with the show’s low retention rate either.
Today, the Peacock Network also cancelled The Village and Abby’s TV shows.
What do you think? Do you like The Enemy Within TV show? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled and not returning for a second season?
Very Disappointed in its cancellation.
I really liked the show. I am very sorry it was cancelled. I was looking forward for another season.
We waited every week for the next show. ,,,,there is so much garbage on TV now. Why would you cancell such a great show. The show was incredibly unpredictable . Acting excellent. Please renew
Same here !!! Cant understand why they canceled
This was the best new show on TV this year. Huge disappointment.
This show was great and we couldn’t wait for the next season!!
Bring back enemy with in. Great show. Networks don’t give new shows enough time to catch on.
I loved this show! No swearing, no sex, no nudity! I guess that’s why it was cancelled. We need more shows like this!!!
Exactly why I loved this show! Swearing, sex, and nudity are what sells, hence the demise of this show!
A lot of pissed off Australians here, One of the best shows for a long time. Obviously a lot of idiots making decisions t the network
Best show Tv this past season. What a shame. This was so set up for a season two.
Finally an adult program that is interesting and they cancel it.One of the few programs that I looked forward to watching!
Yeah bring back the show what the hell i’d I’m literally sad right now 🙁 me and my girl
Loved the show. Netflix bring it back!
I really liked “The Enemy Within”. Grabbed your attention right away. Loved the character development and the various plots. Held my interest to the very end of each show (no checking cell phone — might miss something). If it’s possible to re-think this decision and bring it back, please do!
This is ********.
why should I get into a show when I know it will be cancelled after only one season and on a cliff hanger.
Best show on tv in a long time. Who decides the cancelations? It gave you something to look forward too!
This was a very good program with plenty of intrigue, plot within plot a d good twists and turns. It ended on a interesting note about that higher up was ,cgually running things and not Tal. My wife and i both looked forward to the next show.
