Holt McCallany and Catherine McCormack in "Lights Out"

I’m upset. And I’m sure there are a lot of boxing fans out there who are as disappointed as I am at the news that FX has cancelled another one of its new series, Lights Out. (Terriers was the other.) I was thoroughly enjoying the show as it delved deeper into the life of former champion ‘Lights’ Leary (Holt McCallany) and his family. “Rich development of…characters and stories,” “compelling boxing drama,” and “sharp writing” are just a few of the accolades this show has received in its short lifetime. Unfortunately, they weren’t enough. 

According to John Solberg, FX’s Senior Vice President of Media Relations: “FX will not be moving forward with a second season of the critically acclaimed drama series Lights Out.  FX will air the final two episodes of the current season in its regularly scheduled time period, Tuesdays at 10 PM E/P (March 29 and April 5).”
