Midnight, Texas Canceled by NBC After Two Seasons
The supernatural thriller, Midnight, Texas, which is currently in its second season, has been canceled at NBC. Next week’s Season 2 finale will now be the show’s series finale — that is unless another outlet is willing to pick it up.
According to TV Line, that’s a possibility, as NBC’s parent company, Universal, is planning to shop the show to other outlets. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time a show is rescued by another network.
Midnight, Texas is based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris and centers on the people of a remote Texas town where nothing is what it seems, and where only outsiders fit in.
The first season consisted of ten episodes, and after a long break, the show returned for a nine-episode second season.
The series stars François Arnaud, Dylan Bruce, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Arielle Kebbel, Jason Lewis, and Peter Mensah. It’s executive produced by Eric Charmelo, Nicole Snyder, and David Janollari.
Along with the cancellation of Midnight, Texas, NBC has also canceled comedy series Marlon, starring Marlon Wayans, which ended its second season in July.
