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?
Totally disappointed. If NBC cant handle it, maybe Netflix or HULU will invest and have themselves a winner! NBC continually misses those of us who do follow..just ask the rest of us next time.
What a bummer. The one show I enjoyed on this network for the time being. Great writing and acting. The two leads had chemistry too. If Netflix could pick this up…
CRAZY!!! That’s what you are for cancelling The Enemy Within. Bring it back or I will not watch another show on NBC. This was the best show you had last season.
I agree with the latest comment!! I am very tired of investing in shows then they get canceled! I highly enjoyed watching this show on hulu. I really feel that it is a mistake canceling this show!!!!!!!!!! There is a lot of fbi shows however, this one is different and that’s what is so amazing about it!! I am very disappointed that it is canceled!!! Please bring it back for another season!! Or 5!
Please keep this show. Its good. I ma really getting tired of investing in new shows only to have them canceled. I’m going to just start streaming the seasons for shows I liked. If they make it 3 or more seasons.
