Fox Drama "Almost Human" Cancelled
by NELLIE ANDREEVA
April 29, 2014

I have learned that Fox has opted not to pick up a second season of "Almost Human".

The futuristic drama starring Karl Urban and Michael Ealy got off to a sluggish start in November but held enough ground to at least earn renewal consideration, often finishing on par with its Monday companion (the already-renewed drama "The Following").

In fact, the March season (and series) finale of "Almost Human" logged a 1.5 rating in 18-49, matching the Live+Same Day rating for last night’s finale of "The Following". ("The Following" is a bigger DVR draw).

"Almost Human‘s" chances started to slip once Fox’s drama pilots started to come in. All three of them — "Gotham", "The Red Band Society" and "Empire" – are considered strong contenders for a series pickup.

Also, it is produced by an outside studio, Warner Bros TV, which also has "The Following" and the sure-to-be-picked-up Batman prequel "Gotham".

"Almost Human", about a cop (Urban) paired with a lifelike combat-model android (Ealy), comes from the "Fringe" team of JJ Abrams and J.H. Wyman.

I really liked it. SyFy should have picked it up.

You Can Binge JJ Abrams' Amazing Cyberpunk RoboCop Replacement Show in 10 Hours (& You Should)

JJ Abrams developed an amazing and short sci-fi series that is perfect for RoboCop fans, but was unfortunately cut short too soon.
