But as it turned out, “Graceland” was only half as good as “White Collar” as it only ended after three seasons. The worst part is that it ended abruptly and with a lot of cliffhangers so unless a network or a streaming service picks it up from cancellation, there is no way for Jeff Eastin to give fans the closure they deserve for “Graceland.”
While it performed rather miserably during its third season, “Graceland” premiered in 2013 as one of the top cable dramas averaging 4.3 million viewers.
But from Season 2 to Season 3, the TV series fell rather hard, experiencing a 30% drop in all categories. In fact, during its Season 3 run, it averaged a 0.55 rating in adults 18 to 49 years old, a 0.66 rating in adults from 25 to 54 years old, and 1.5 million total viewers overall, details Variety.
According to the source, while the network was very pleased with the show creatively, its ratings say otherwise, so USA Network had to make a painful decision.
The TV series starred Aaron Tveit, Daniel Sunjata, Vanessa Ferlito, Manny Montana, Brandon Jay McLaren and Serinda Swan.
Apart from the show’s poor ratings especially in the 18-49-year-old viewer demographics, the network has apparently decided to let the ax fall on “Graceland” because it does not own the TV series.
I am very sorry it is gone. I consistently has interesting dark corners, instead of the usual happy, clappy of such shows as Blue Bloods.
