The diagnosis is in and USA Network's Complications has been cancelled after one season, reported by Deadline.
The medical thriller drama about an ER doctor (Jason O'Mara) goes through a life dangerous turn when he witnesses a drive-by shooting.
In it's first season that wrapped on August 13, when Dr. Ellison and his colleague nurse Gretchen take in more or less one set of complications behind the, by making a deal with a gang leader who had been controlling them and staging their murder of a dirty cop that looked like a gang shooting. That until a phone call came and a whole mess of problems.
The series debuted to a total of 1.9 million viewers and a 0.4 demo rating, but by the time the show ended it's run the rating had fell to 1.4 million and 0.3.
Not only did O'Mara started in the series but also Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl), Beth Riesgraf (Leverage) and Lauren Stamile (Burn Notice).
In a way, I'm kind of surprised that the series got cancelled but after Deadline reported that "there were business factors- Complications is not owned by USA, it comes from Fox 21 TV studios - that stood in the way as the network brass deemed another season not economically feasible."
For example that when USA showed two new dramas last summer with Satisfaction, that's owned by UCP, got renewed but Rush, from FOX 21 TV Studios, was cancelled.
