NBC announced late Friday that its supernatural procedural The InBetween will not be returning a second season. That news comes as no surprise as the show drew moderate at best ratings during its Summer run. It was originally intended for a mid-year debut during the 2018-19 season, but was pushed to a Summer start which is often a red flag. It actually debuted with decent ratings for a Summer entry, but those slipped through the show’s first season and the network preempted it twice early in its run which did nothing to help its viewership. By all appearances, the network seemed to have given up on the show before it aired and dumped it on the Summer schedule as a burn-off run. The InBetween actually matched the same-day ratings of the CBS Summer entry Blood and Treasure which received a second season renewal. But that latter series may have also had international deals that made it more profitable for the network.
The InBetween focuses on a woman who has a power she does not want: she can communicate with the dead and help them work through problems unresolved while they were living. She is drawn into an FBI investigation and uses her ability to help solve crimes. It stars Harriet Dyer, Justin Cornwell, Cindy Luna, Anne-Marie Johnson, and Paul Blackthorne.
There are still several shows from the 2018-19 season that are awaiting word on their fate such as The Terror, The InBetween, and The Rook.
