FX Cancels Boxing Drama Lights Out, Nears Renewal For Justified

Too late, they already did. Same with Terriers. But don’t worry, FX will have some new shows to fill that void in the Fall. Probably serials, as well. Eventually, one of them will stick.

Pretty cold if you ask me to ‘cancel’ with 2 eps left to air. We knew it was coming but the excuse of the FX Upfronts on Tuesday as the reason why the ‘early announcement’ is pretty lame. Then the push about Justified being renewed before the ink on the Lights Out Cancel pen is dry, gives me pause with my former opinion of John Landgraf. Yeah we’ll see the last 2 eps, ok and yeah I know business is business ($$$) but they handled this worse than Terriers and I’m out of FX as of April 5…Good Luck Oliver Stone, Connie Britton and all coming with pilots, hope for your sake viewers will have had their fill of Teen Moms and Pawn Stars by the time you come along…

Exactly how often do you do something that costs you more than it benefits you? They promoted the show and people did not watch it. It cost them cash to make it and they were not making it back via ad revenue. In this business, that generally means the show gets the axe. Get angry with the fact the public does not share the same tastes as you, because that is the only place where the blame actually lies

Justified is good stuff and I’m glad to hear it’s probably getting another season. Sad to hear about Lights Out though, I was thinking about starting to watch that one. FX solved that problem for me.
