All the Shows NBC Canceled in 2018
NBC's regular viewers were not expecting a cancellation bloodbath, but the peacock network decided [...]
The Night Shift
The Night Shift was cancelled back in October 2017, after the show's fourth season wrapped last summer. The medical drama centered on ER doctors working the night shift at a San Antonio hospital and starred Scott Wolf, Jill Flint and Eion Macken. During season four, it averaged 5.6 million viewers and a 1.0 18-49 rating.
prevnextLaw & Order: True Crime
Law & Order: True Crime was an attempt by NBC to cash-in on the success of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. The show centered on the Menendez murders, but did not capture the national conversation on the level of O.J. Simpson.
True Crime was one of the few L&O series not to make it past a first season. Bebe Neuwirth's Trial By Jury also only lasted a season. Conviction, which included SVU's Stephanie March, only lasted a season as well.
prevnextGreat News
NBC delivered some bad news for Great News fans, giving the Tina Fey-executive produced series the axe. The comedy was a ratings flop, even though it did get a second season. Briga Heelan starred as a cable news producer stuck working with her mother (Andrea Martin) decides to intern at the station.
prevnextShades of Blue
In April, star Jennifer Lopez confirmed Shades of Blue will be ending after its upcoming fourth season. The 10 episodes begin on June 17.
"We crafted a poetic three-season arc on how her journey ends, which is true redemption. The way only Harlee could have done it — the hard way, the road less traveled," Lopez said in a statement. "I thank NBC and all the talented actors, writers, crew and producers for going on this journey with us!"
prevnextTaken
While the Taken films starring Liam Neeson were huge hits at the box office, the TV version was the complete opposite. The show only got a second season after it was retooled and experienced a cast shakeup, but it was not enough to keep Taken alive. It averaged 2 to 3 million viewers a week.
prevnextThe Brave
NBC cancelled The Brave on Friday as a formality. The network decided last fall not to order a "back nine," which was effectively a cancellation. Its 13 episodes averaged less than 5 million viewers.
