FOX cancels 'Almost Human' after one season
It will be 13-episodes-and-out for the FOX robot procedural "Almost Human."
News of the "Almost Human" cancellation first broke on Tuesday (April 29) evening on Deadline.com and HitFix can now confirm that the J.J. Abrams-produced drama will not be back next season, a victim either of lackluster ratings or of FOX's already-aggressive plans for next season.
FOX got "Almost Human" off to a bumpy start when it delayed its early November premiere just two weeks before launch, though a special Sunday airing helped get a sampling of 9 million-plus viewers. Despite occasional preemptions and an erratic air schedule in December and January, "Almost Human" averaged a very respectable 6.2 million viewers and a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 for its season, along with a solid DVR bump. Although the "Almost Human" numbers were flagging a little toward the end, it still did a 1.5 key demo rating for its finale in March, identical to the April finale numbers for "The Following," which was gifted with an early renewal. Both dramas come from Warner Brothers TV.
"Almost Human" starred Karl Urban, Michael Ealy and Minka Kelly.
Boo Fox sucks, they didn't even run the episodes in the correct order, why do they even bother with sci-fi shows, they should stick to lame reality shows.
