EXCLUSIVE: NBC has quietly cancelled Taken after two seasons. The network has pulled the series from the schedule, having already decided not to move forward with Season 3.
The axe falls after the low-rated drama grabbed a surprise second season renewal last term. With no upturn in ratings, the cancellation reaper has finally caught up with Taken.
NBC did not immediately respond to request for comment on the cancellation of Taken.
The final episodes of Taken Season 2, and the series as a whole, return May 26, 2018 at 8/7c.
RIP.
Bob says
No surprise there! Seasom 2 is nothing like season 1. Kind of boring and there hasn’t been anyone really “Taken”.
LA says
Maybe some people don’t care for season 2, but I liked it. Does everything have to be so violent? Taken is just a name. They can have some normal living going on in-between the “Taken”. Anything can be “Taken”, not just people. I vote to keep “Taken”. I love this show.
Duane Springer says
Agreed, great show, it needed to stay.
Danielle says
I really liked Taken and am, once again, disappointed with NBC. They have very few shows left that are worth watching, and the ones that I used to watch religiously have gotten too political. Hallmark has become my go-to channel.
Sharon says
I think NBC is making a mistake, which doesn’t surprise me. The entire concept of this series was changed, most of the characters were let go and hardly anything was done to promote what I feel is a very good program and different than most of the repetitive series.
Hank says
Great show. It’s a shame that it’s being cancelled. I guess we’ll have to suffer thru more “Reality” TV. There are so many horrible TV shows today it’s a real joke. I feel sorry for Jennifer Beals. She has had several great TV shows and has had a horrible streak of bad luck.
Retired E8 says
What a bummer! All the networks seem to care about is “Reality TV”. never really considering that most people watch TV to take a step back and, for a couple of hours, remove themselves from the “reality” of this crazy world. I thought that was the whole concept – to be “entertained”.
Sandy says
Clive Standish (Vikings) is an outstanding actor , not to mention easy on the eyes, I think along with Jen Beals the show turned out pretty good. Will be sorry to see it go.
Bruce R. Jackson says
Getting disappointed with NBC. Their cancellation matrix SUCKS!!!
Cyril says
NBC shot their selves n the foot when they changed the characters and feel of the show from season 1.
Season 2 was so bad in my opinion that I stopped watching it after the first episode.
Margene says
I LIKE THIS SHOW!!! I THINK IT’S A GOOD SHOW, NOT AS GOOD AS SEASON ONE WITH THE OTHER PEOPLE THEY HAD IN IT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS STILL GOOD!!! SO TIRED OF ALL THE GOOD SHOWS I LIKE BEING CANCELLED, YET THE CRAP SHOWS I THINK ARE STUPID DON’T!!!!
Justin says
Yes I can’t understand, the is show has built a good premise and have given good action stories in nearly all the episodes. Again another decent TV series axed by people not in touch with what the public want to view. Love to see either Netflix or Amazon take over this show.
