<p>
	Fox has cancelled Son of Zorn after just one season. The comedy premiered as part of the network's fall lineup last September with a unique format for prime time, mixing live-action and comedy together. The series was a decent performer on Sunday nights but word is the show was difficult to produce, making it harder to justify a second season.
</p>

<p>
	Son of Zorn followed an embattled warrior from a faraway island in the Pacific Ocean where everything and everybody is animated. He decides to travel to Orange County, California with hopes of winning back his live-action ex-wife and his teenage son.

<p>
	Word is out this afternoon that ABC has cancelled Last Man Standing after six seasons on the air. The news comes as a bit of a surprise, as the veteran comedy has been an overall consistent performer for the network on Friday nights.
</p>

<p>
	On the air since 2011, Last Man Standing was another successful TV venture for comedian Tim Allen. The show was Allen's first return to the small screen since 90s hit Home Improvement, and while it didn't quite have the longevity of his past series, its 130-episode run was impressive by today's standards.

<p>
	It is being reported that NBC has cancelled Timeless after its first season. This is sad news for fans of the show, as its final episode in February left with a cliffhanger that will now go unanswered.
</p>

<p>
	The action drama premiered last fall as part of the network's fall line-up with a lot of momentum behind it. The show was created by two veteran producers, had a high profile time slot airing after The Voice on Monday nights, was heavily promoted, and received high critical praise from early reviews. While its premiere episode got off to a solid start, ratings slipped in subsequent weeks leaving only a limited audience who kept tuning in.
</p>

<p>
	Signs the show was in trouble started to become apparent early on. When NBC added additional episodes to the show's freshman run, only three were ordered. Co-creator Eric Kripke also cautioned fans on his Twitter page, writing that its live viewer ratings likely needed to improve to warrant another season.
</p>

<p>
	Timeless followed a team of time travelers who were chasing down a mysterious criminal intent on changing the past in order to destroy America. The team worked to keep up with the dangerous fugitive to stop his path of destruction, while being careful not to let their actions adversely affect the past.

<p><img src="https://themidnightzone.com/uploads/monthly_2017_05/45463652-scandal-wallpaper-tv-show.jpg.9e0834a6fbf21ad44c01b1429aecfd28.jpg" /></p>

<p>
	It is being reported that an endgame has been worked out for Scandal to conclude with its recently-ordered seventh season. While ABC hasn't yet commented on the matter, the network is expected to make an official announcement at their upfront presentation next week.
</p>

<p>
	The veteran Shondaland political thriller has continued to be a solid performer deep into its run, with viewership numbers in key demographics making it one of broadcast television's top dramas. While most long-running series eventually end due to falling ratings, the decision to conclude Scandal is said to be creatively-driven, with creator Shonda Rhimes ultimately making the call.

<p>
	It is being reported tonight that Fox has decided to cancel Sleepy Hollow. The news comes just over a month after the mystery drama aired its Season 4 finale. Considered to be on the bubble for a couple of years now, the network's move to end the show does not come as much of a surprise.
</p>

<p>
	Sleepy Hollow premiered back in 2013 and was a strong addition to Fox's prime time lineup for its initial 13-episode run. Unfortunately it could not keep up that level of momentum during Season 2, though it maintained a respectable level of viewership that easily earned it another pickup. Things were not looking as good by the end Season 3, but despite being the network's lowest-rated drama it was brought back once again. The recently-concluded Season 4 saw the show's lowest ratings numbers yet, which sealed its fate.
</p>

<p><img src="https://themidnightzone.com/uploads/monthly_2017_05/Frequency.png.f2a43432db4d7edcf1acfb595ffdb7ea.png" /></p>

<p>
	It is being reported that The CW has decided against continuing with Frequency, opting to cancel the new series after just one season. The news does not come as much of a surprise, as the show's 13-episode freshman run struggled to find an audience and never really generated much buzz.
</p>

<p>
	As we reported back in November, things were not looking good after the network failed to add any additional episodes to show's initial order. While there was a small amount of hope due to a deal with streaming giant Netflix, the lack of a back order all but sealed its fate.
</p>

<p>
	Based on the 2000 film of the same name, Frequency followed a woman who never got the chance to really know her father before he was killed when she was only eight years old. 20 years later she is shocked to hear her dad's voice come through his broken old ham radio, transmitting from 1996. But even though communication is now possible, changing history proves to have a dramatic affect on her life in the present.

<p>
	It is being reported that Emerald City has been cancelled after one season. NBC's reimagining of The Wizard of Oz premiered as a mid-season entry earlier this year with a 10-episode run. Unfortunately its time on the air drew little fanfare, and its ratings reflected that in its Friday night time slot.
</p>

<p>
	Emerald City took a dark, reimagined look at the Land of Oz, where a 20-year-old Dorothy Gale is swept up into a mystical land far removed from her own. This unsuspecting young woman is forced to navigate this new, dangerous land filled with competing realms and dark magic, on the road to finding her true destiny.

<p>
	Three episodes ahead of its first-season finale, NBC has pulled Powerless from its schedule effective immediately. The freshman comedy premiered earlier this year as a mid-season entry but through nine episodes has failed to attract a sizeable audience in its Thursday night time slot.
</p>

<p>
	Set in the universe of DC Comics, Powerless follows a group of employees at Wayne Security in Charm City, which is home to a number of superheroes and villains - as well as citizens who are fed up of dealing with the collateral damage of their constant fighting.
</p>

<p>
	It is not clear at this time if the unaired episodes of Powerless will make it to air.

<p>
	Reports are out that ABC has pulled new series Time After Time from its schedule after just five episodes. The move does not come as much of a surprise after a slow start to the time travel drama, which has finished last against its Sunday night competition in each of its airings.
</p>

<p>
	Based on the novel and movie of the same name, the series followed famed science fiction writer H.G. Wells and his time travelling adventures to modern day Manhattan in search of the murderous Jack the Ripper.
</p>

<p>
	Today's cancellation sees Time After Time become the second show of the season to be pulled early in its run. CBS drama Doubt was yanked last month after just two episodes. Taking over its 9:00pm time slot for now will be episodes of Match Game beginning this Sunday, April 2.

<p>
	It is being reported that Aftermath has been cancelled after its first season. The Canadian-produced sci-fi drama ran for 13 episodes late last year but failed to find a sizeable audience on either side of the border.
</p>

<p>
	Star James Tupper was first to break the news, posting to his Twitter account that the series will not be returning for Season 2. Tupper and co-star Anne Heche played a couple battling for the survival of their family when civilization as they know it comes to an apocalyptic end.

<p><img src="https://themidnightzone.com/uploads/monthly_2016_12/salem_logo_bort.JPG.541dd93207017ca70f9a1b7e7264b3e8.JPG" /></p>

<p>
	WGN America confirmed today that Salem will be ending after its current third season. The supernatural drama premiered its now-final season early last month and has so far aired five of its planned 10 episodes.
</p>

<p>
	The series premiered in 2014 as the cable network's first original scripted drama. It followed the story behind the 17th century witch trials in colonial Massachusetts -an infamous part of history shrouded in darkness and mystery.
</p>

<p>
	Fans of Salem will be relieved to hear that its creators were given enough advanced notice of the show ending to allow them to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Look for the series finale to air in early 2017.
</p>

<p>
	It is being reported that Showtime has decided not to order a fifth season of Masters of Sex. The news comes two weeks after the conclusion of Season 4, meaning the final episode on November 13 now serves as its series finale.
</p>

<p>
	The period drama had a solid run on the cable network, garnering critical acclaim out of the gate and being named of the Critics' Choice's Most Exciting New Series in 2013. It didn't take long after that for it to become one of Showtime's signature series.
</p>

<p>
	While ratings were never one of Masters of Sex's strong suits, they do not appear to have played a major factor in the decision to end the series. Word is that Showtime and the show's producers mutually agreed that with the events of Season 4, including the wedding of main characters William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the story was complete.

<p>
	It was announced today that Saving Hope will be coming to a close after its upcoming fifth season. The veteran medical drama, which is produced out of Canada, currently airs on ION Television for U.S. audiences.
</p>

<p>
	The series originally started out on NBC in 2012, airing only 11 episodes before the network pulled it from its scheduled due to soft ratings. The show continued for Canadian audiences only until 2014, when ION picked up its rights and brought the show back to the states.
</p>

<p>
	Look for the fifth and final season of Saving Hope in 2017.

<p><img src="https://themidnightzone.com/uploads/monthly_2016_10/Aquarius-High-Definition-Wallpapers.jpg.42e5b718f95f2ce56f739abda8afa579.jpg" /></p>

<p>
	It is being reported that NBC has officially pulled the plug on Aquarius after two seasons. The David Duchovny drama, in which he played a cop on the trail of Charles Manson, had a tough go of things throughout its two-summer run on the network. Despite a promising start last year, the show never managed to find the mass appeal it was looking for.
</p>

<p>
	Aquarius premiered solidly for NBC back in the summer of 2015 and was rewarded with an early Season 2 renewal. When ratings tapered off, it was quietly moved to Saturdays where it would finish out its run. The network remained optimistic, though, and stuck to its word to bring the show back for another season in 2016.
</p>

<p>
	Unfortunately the show struggled once again this summer, forcing NBC to once-again push the ratings-challenged series off to Saturday nights in order to offset its low viewership numbers. Not surprisingly, a third season was not looking good, and back in August NBC president Jennifer Salke admitted as much, stating that bringing Aquarius back once again would be "tough".

<p>
	It is being reported that ABC has cancelled Mistresses, opting not to renew the soapy drama for a fifth season. The summer series had just aired its fourth-season finale this past Tuesday. Ratings were mostly solid over the course of its run, though viewership in Seasons 3 and 4 was down somewhat compared to its first two seasons.
</p>

<p>
	The cancellation of Mistresses adds to the list of summer dramas axed by the network in recent years, with programming in the off-season now shifting towards more alternative fare such as retro game show revivals which have been performing well in prime time.

<p>
	NBC announced today that Grimm will be ending after Season 6. The veteran supernatural drama has been a solid performer over the course of its run, developing a devoted fan base that brought consistent ratings to its Friday night time slot.
</p>

<p>
	While never a breakout hit, Grimm found a nice little niche to settle into that kept it on the air for over 100 episodes. The show ranks as the network's second-longest-running series currently on the air after Law &amp; Order: SVU, which is well ahead at 18 seasons.
</p>

<p>
	Grimm will be returning for its sixth and final season on Friday, January 6, 2017 at 8:00pm. Season 6 will be shorter than the typical 22 episodes it tallied in Seasons 1 through 5, with an order of 13 episodes to conclude the series. In the show's final stretch, fans can look forward to the long-awaited showdown between Nick and Captain Renard.

<p>
	A few months after Game of Thrones was renewed for a seventh season, HBO has confirmed that plans are in place to end the series after Season 8, which has yet to be formally announced. The move doesn't come as a complete shock, as rumors ahead of its previous renewal speculated that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were eyeing two last seasons to end the show.
</p>

<p>
	The adaptation of George R.R. Martin's fantasy drama has been a massive hit for HBO, and even after eight seasons will still be going out on top, as its ratings show no sign of slowing down any time soon. With such huge numbers, it's no surprise that the cable network has stated that they'd be happy to do plenty more seasons of the show, but as it stands now, they are letting the showrunners take the lead as to when to conclude the series.
</p>

<p>
	Fans might be interested to hear that, while nothing as been announced, the possibility of a future Game of Thrones spinoff is on the table. HBO programming president Casey Bloys said today that he's open to the idea down the road as long as the producers are on board and it makes sense creatively.

<p>
	The end is near for the Salvatore brothers. As many expected, The Vampire Diaries will be concluding after Season 8. The official announcement was made today at the show's Comic-Con panel in San Diego, where a farewell video by the cast was aired for its gathered fans in Ballroom 20.
</p>

<p>
	While today's news makes it official, discussion of the long-running drama's end has been swirling for quite some time. Back in April, star Ian Somerhalder told fans at a convention that Season 8 would be the show's last. And despite the The CW maintaining at the time that no decision had been made, many saw the writing on the wall.
</p>

<p>
	The Vampire Diaries was a key part of The CW's lineup for a good part of its run. While its ratings have certainly taken a hit in recent seasons, the show was a flagship series for the network for a number of years, even spawning spin-off The Originals back in 2013.
</p>

<p>
	Look for the farewell season of The Vampire Diaries to premiere on Friday, October 21.

<p>
	MTV announced today that Teen Wolf will be coming to an end after its upcoming sixth season. Word came this afternoon from Executive Producer Jeff Davis at the show's annual panel at Comic-Con in San Diego.
</p>

<p>
	The veteran werewolf drama, which is the network's longest-running scripted series, was previously renewed for its now-final season at last year's Comic-Con, where it was confirmed that 20 episodes have been ordered. In total, the series will end at the 100 episode mark.

<p>
	Starz announced today that the upcoming fourth season of Black Sails will be its last. The adventure drama, which was renewed for Season 4 back in 2015, is set to return with its final 10 episodes in 2017.
</p>

<p>
	Black Sails will end as the first Starz original series to reach four seasons. The show has averaged a healthy 3.6 million viewers across multiple platforms through its first three years on the air, and also picked up two Emmy Awards in 2014 for Outstanding Special and Visual Effects in a Supporting Role as well as Outstanding Sound Editing.

<p>
	And just like that, it's over. In a shocking move, Penny Dreadful was brought to an unexpected close with last night's Season 3 finale. After a major character death during the 2-part conclusion, the words "The End" appeared on-screen to the surprise of many. Ahead of the episode, even the network itself was promoting it as a season finale rather than a series finale.

	To address those in denial, the network, as well as Penny Dreadful's creator John Logan, both confirmed the end of the series following the episode. And though the finale came as a surprise to viewers, plans for the end game had been in place since early Season 3 planning.

<p>
	CBS has cancelled Limitless after its first season. The news comes a week after the freshman drama was left off the network's 2016-2017 schedule, though at the time executives stated they were exploring moving the series to another network.
</p>

<p>
	Confirmation of Limitless' cancellation came this afternoon from showrunner Craig Sweeny, who took to Twitter with the news:
</p>

<p>
	"I'm truly sad to report that #Limitless will not continue on any platform. Thanks so much to everyone who watched."

<p>
	The drama aired a short 10-episode run between March and May on Monday nights, but failed to draw a significant audience.

<p>
	Fox announced its schedule for the upcoming 2016-2017 season today, and notably absent was another edition of The X-Files, which was revived earlier this year after 13 years off the air. During the network's upfront press call, however, Fox TV Group executives offered fans some hope that the series may still return for another season.
</p>

<p>
	Speaking on interest by the creator and cast, it was noted that Chris Carter, David Duchovny, and Gillian Anderson were all up for another installment. Speculation for a return time frame was even stated, with the 2017-2018 season tentatively eyed for new episodes.
</p>

<p>
	For now, though, fans will have to patiently wait until a final decision is made. And that news might not come for some time. Stay tuned...
