Here’s a quick guide to the cast of Buffy The Vampire Slayer-style Hellmouth.
Midnight, Texas didn’t last anywhere near as long as True Blood or Buffy, unfortunately. Poor ratings and a lukewarm reception from critics led to NBC deciding to cancel the show after its second season, leaving the cliffhanger dropped in the Midnight, Texas season 2 finale unresolved. Producers Universal Television had plans to shop the series to other networks but the lack of a Midnight, Texas season 3 more than two years after it ended suggests that didn’t work out.
Midnight, Texas may be cancelled but there are still two seasons of the show for fans of supernatural dramas to enjoy. For viewers coming to the show for the first time, here’s a who’s who guide to the cast of Midnight, Texas and their characters.
