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?
I really like the show and it’s cast!
I loved the Enemy Within!….NBC is always cancelling the good ones!!! I will absolutely not get involved on any TV series with this station…
I am terribly disappointed. I felt it was a great show. I never missed a show.
I’m so disappointed! I loved that show!
I love this show
Keep taking all the good ones away and replacing with stupid, fake ****…
What the actual f**k?!? I’m so pissed about this.. This literally ruined my day, I loved this show!!!
I absolutely loved The Enemy Within! I’m so disappointed. Hopefully someone else will bring it back soon!
Another channel needs to bring this back, they can’t cancel in the middle like this!!!
I’ve really enjoyed this series. These actors and actresses work well together. It was nice to see Dexters sister once more. She’s a great actress.
I like this show a lot. Wish it was renewed.
Love The Enemy Within —- why would this be canceled!? I’m upset
Are you kidding me! Great cast! Well acted and executed! Why do networks always cancel shows that are done well and keep stupid mind numbing garbage? Boggles the mind!
Enemy Within had some of the best cast members in one series. We enjoyed it thoroughly.
This is completely mind blowing to me! This is one of the best shows I have watched in a VERY LONG TIME! Please don’t cancel! It was amazingly written. The acting is amazing ! We need more seasons.
Totally agree, I would love to see it return!
