It looks like Debra Messing is off the case as NBC has cancelled the light crime drama procedural The Mysteries of Laura.
The series starring Debra Messing is was developed by Jeff Rake that was based on a Spanish format series. Laura was one of the bright spot for NBC when it launched in fall 2014 and the only show to return for a second season. Even though it's been older skewing, Laura has been a reliable at the 8 pm for the network on Wednesday's lineup.
Laura just wrapped in March with a 16 episode second season with a demo rating of 1.2 Live+same day adults 18-49. It's been a real boast Messing as the TV star lead.
NBC usually likes to keep shows like that in their back-pocket but coming off a strong drama pilot season where the network brass liked virtually all of their drama pilots, where they're making shelf spacing tighter and decisions tougher. And not to mention that Laura comes from Warner Bros. TV, an outside studio, where there is no extra incentive for NBC to try and keep it.
This news was a real blind-spotted. I really thought that NBC would renew it and at least keep it just in case a new series doesn't do well. Laura was an outstanding series with a great ensemble cast and the writing was so good. And not to mention that it was a real family cop drama. I can't find any other cop drama that you can watch with kids.
Well, best of luck to you Laura and co. We'll definitely miss ya!!
