USA Network has axed Dig after one season, it has been confirmed.
The creators had planned for Dig to return with a second season based around a new mystery featuring some of the original characters.
However, while ratings weren’t terrible they weren’t good enough for the network to justify a second season, and USA has now billed the series as a ‘one-and-done’ ten-part limited event.
RIP.

June 4, 2015 at 06:36Good to see it go. Can’t stand the catch ’em- escape-catch ’em-escape-catch ’em again story lines. A lot of potential but the writers blew it.

June 26, 2015 at 17:30Needs to Continue…

May 14, 2015 at 04:21it’s very exciting
Mimi says
May 16, 2015 at 18:11Everything worth watching gets cancelled. Like, Crossing Boarders. Dig excited me. I learned the Jewish GLBT format by investigating. I found that interesting, not realizing what was behind part of my intrigue w/ the show; I loved the Gay Jewish cop! It hot the character was genius. I hate network crap.
So sad. So very sad. So much plot. Made one THINK — Google a thing or two. Maybe learn something.
Shane says
May 21, 2015 at 21:44Couldn’t agree more.
Annie says
June 20, 2015 at 15:21I agree Mimi.Its like someone at USA picks the right shows and then some nerd gives 5hem the ax and keeps the most ridiculous lineup.
Daniel says
July 31, 2015 at 22:32I agree with you also Mimi, Annie, and Shane and others. Jeez, at least give us some kind of wrap-up with a season 2. I’m really disappointed with the decision to cancel Dig. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
kathi says
May 17, 2015 at 21:38They need more then 10 episodes to know if the show is any good. I loved Dig Great characters interesting storyline. The “Powers that Be” don’t know squat about I guess nepotism runs rapid about them they would’nt a good show if it came up and bit them in their a$$ < that is most important #LOVEDDIG

Hi Kathi, I agree with you. Seems like all the good shows get cancelled. They have to make more
room for the ‘stupid’ reality shows
Ashley says
May 20, 2015 at 11:11I’m so very upset that there won’t be another season. I absolutely loved DIG! It was so interesting. I loved the premise of a mystery in Jerusalem, and I think another mystery in another place would be just as good! Peter is the best!
NightNurse82 says
May 21, 2015 at 02:18Dig was the most interesting new series on TV. This is a bunch of crap. You need to give a new series more than one season to prove itself. Bull crap. Renew please!
Shane says
May 21, 2015 at 21:49The best shows on Networks get cancelled these days! It was a great show and had a great story. I can’t believe these type of shows get axed, after one season and junk like the Kardashacraps go on and on and on…
Olivarius says
June 6, 2015 at 16:35I’m really disappointed it got cancelled, this show needed more episodes to reach a proper conclusion. They shouldn’t have killed off two main characters. I thought Debbie was an interesting character who had loads of potential, but they got Josh to slit her throat.
Stef says
May 22, 2015 at 17:46Shane: +100!
loveDig says
May 27, 2015 at 01:21Absolutely loved the show! Thoughtful, great premise, great chatacters. We NEED shows like this. Sitcoms and other run-of-the-mill programming waste my life. Please renew. I’ve never left a comment for anything ever. Please renew!
eris mcneal says
May 28, 2015 at 21:08really!!! ratings werent good enuff—this from the channel that should name itself the law and order channel! all they ever have is reruns and they finally get an interesting and good new show and then cancel it? guess im back to skipping over usa on my guide
DC says
November 24, 2015 at 21:23This pisses me off!…probably canceled cause it got real & hit a nerve with “the powers that be”
Ruth says
May 29, 2015 at 17:01This is very disappointing news for many viewers. DIG is original, well written and beautifully performed by a talented cast and deserved a second season!
Phllykttn says
May 29, 2015 at 17:49I’m not crying over it. The first three or four episodes were interesting, but after that not so much. I only finished the season because the OCD in me wouldn’t let me quit mid season.
Servilan says
June 1, 2015 at 02:35Very good show. I’m glad it wasn’t renewed because I can’t see another story being anywhere near as good nor as interesting as this one. Too many shows go on because they can and ultimately get run into the ground. When this happens what was good about the show gets lost. This 10 episode series was perfect.
Nicolas Sampson says
June 2, 2015 at 20:16Shows like “DIG” get cancelled and yet dumb shows with 2 dumb blondes (comedy they say !!!) get renewed yet a quality show like DIG gets axed?????? Are you people in your right mind?
Life is not all comedy and dumb-acting people!!!!!
Steve says
June 7, 2015 at 23:01Just got through binge watching the show. It’s a great series with great plot twists. I hate that 10 episodes is all we got.
sherwin dubren says
June 11, 2015 at 00:19This is the biggest bunch of BS I have seen in a long time. There was nothing in the DIG series that advocated the policies of the Israeli government. It was just a good yarn, one of the few exceptions to the formula series we normally see. These rights people ought to consider the rights of us viewers who read nothing political in the show’s content. These
rights groups are just dictating to us what they think is sanitary and the networks are caving in giving incorrect reasons of low viewership. Well, I am going to boycott USA Network with
their sanitized garbage of serial killers, stupid yuppies, and generally boring offerings. I hope
some other network will pick up on the the theme of DIG, one that cannot be pushed around by these misguided liberal idiots.
James says
November 17, 2015 at 04:00Um…I’m a liberal, I liked the show and know nothing about what your talking about. Liberals didn’t get Dig cancelled, poor ratings did. And even if liberals were to blame for the cancellation, all I have to say is Pot meet Kettle. Conservatives flipped their tits and called for boycotts over a Wells Fargo commercial that featured a Lesbian couple adopting a child, a JC Penny catalogue that featured a gay couple, and now a Campbell’s Soup commercial for featuring a family parented by 2 gay men.
I don’t believe liberals got the show cancelled, but even if it did, don’t ask liberals to do what conservatives fail to do themselves. It’s plainly hypocritical and ignorant.
susan says
June 12, 2015 at 21:08Good riddance. Another silly, ridiculous show that uses judeochristian religion as its background, with the notion of “promised ones” and “prophecies” that somehow only a few people can unlock. Would your gods really have you go through all these hoops, just to send you a message? A message that’s supposedly for the WHOLE world, not just your tribe. This show had every cliché you can think of, and what is with the lead character, lamenting the loss of his kid, only to find a college grad girl who looks like her and then having a sexual tryst with her?? Ewww. But, that’s the bible for ya. 6000 years of incest and inbreeding. Wow.
sherwin dubren says
June 21, 2015 at 18:13Susan, Do I detect a trace of antisemitism in your stance?
. Nobody is asking you to accept the Jewish traditions of the Temple Mount. This still makes for a good yarn based on today’s realities of neo-Christians
awaiting the return of the messiah. Certainly, this plot is much more paletable than the other junk we see on TV with serial killers and deranged teenagers. One has to give some poetic license to the bible related
material, much of it being in allegorical form. I found it a thrilling program in the style of Indiana Jones looking for the lost ark of the covenant. It was shot in Jerusalem giving it some authenticity, whereas we see few productions using this city as a backdrop. Most people do not take these neo0christians seriously, but they do exist and continue to push their agenda in Israel. The show, if anything, brings out the absurdity
of their agenda, but I considered ttjat ,as a ,kind of a vehicle to incorporate into a exciting yarn.
The Last Hard Man says
July 18, 2015 at 17:14Peter did NOT have a sexual tryst with Emma. They kissed in the water then he realized he couldn’t do it bc she looked like his daughter so he pulled away. After that there is nothing at all sexual between them. And even if they did have sex it obviously wouldn’t be incest. It seems everybody sits around waiting to be offended. How did people get to be such little thin skinned, ultra sensitive bitches? It’s FICTION. Get a life
syphon says
July 27, 2015 at 01:52Umm dude did you even watch the whole show? They had sex in the shower… Please know what your talking about before you speak. Even his partner talked about how it would end bad and then she winds up killing him. Like seriously, were you watching a different show or something?
jack says
June 12, 2015 at 23:02Just started showing on SBS in australia and now i read show cancelled after one season WT.. why bother making these shows only to cancel after one season
same for Forever,stalker backstrom
Rob says
June 14, 2015 at 13:05Horrible mistake to cancel this show. I don’t care what the freaking haters might say above or below this post; Dig lured us in from the Pilot and kept in the entire time.
Hopefully this will make a return. Truly bad news to see it go. What the heck else is USA going to put on this normally-lame network, more reruns of other shows? That’s a waste of resources.
Mike says
June 28, 2015 at 11:21Too bad they couldn’t film some additional episodes just to wrap up the story.
Toshia says
June 28, 2015 at 20:30There were too many people getting out their Bible or googling Scripture. They couldn’t have that.
Loved the show. Had sooooo much potential. I was psyched about the next Biblical mystery and intrigue they would create.
Isil says
July 3, 2015 at 20:28The only show on USA that I have watched in years…and they cancel it. Now I understand why I don’t watch anything on their network.
Laree says
July 18, 2015 at 18:06Maybe they should hand it over to Netflix………
syphon says
July 27, 2015 at 02:03Tbh I think it got cancelled cause it got to real as a possibility of what could happen. I’m not sayin its all real.just that with all the turmoil over there it gave to many ideas. When shows get to close to the truth the powers that be shut it down. Look what happened with Conspiracy Theory with my man Jesse Ventura. That last season he dug to far so they shut him down. Wouldn’t even pay him or tell him when it was airing. You can find interviews and comments about him talking about it. I dont think most people have a clue just how fucked up our world is and especially our government. Well actually its our shadow government thats trying to ruin the world. And if y’all dont think its real you are truly blind and lying to yourself.
TimothyD says
July 31, 2015 at 03:38All the good series don’t need to continue forever or several seasons. It’s like with good book, you get into it, you breath it and you live in it, but you’re happy when good story get it’s end and you don’t need to think what will happen in next season of the book. DIG was a great story, great TV serie and it’s great that story came to it*s end. Thanks!
Lin says
August 8, 2015 at 21:32I am not Jewish or Fundamentalist Christian. I am not member of GLBT and I do not have an ax to grind. Dig was just a really good TV show. It was suspenseful, had a great storyline, was well written and had incredible acting. I would think that alone would merit a second season. When great TV gets cancelled and trash shows like Duck Dynasty are perpetuated that really makes me question the intelligence of the people who choose the shows that will air.
EJohnson says
August 19, 2015 at 21:20I’m very disappointed that the USA in-charge nit-wits cancelled after only one season. At the least, they should have given it two seasons. One season isn’t enough to make that decision unless one is just a total flop and DIG wasn’t in that category at all. I found it different than anything on TV and I loved all the characters….not to mention the plot was very intriguing!
SAD IN TENNESSEE 🙁
John s says
August 20, 2015 at 10:05Please reconsider bringing back Dig for a 2nd season! I, personally got friends to tune in as season progressed. With all the garbage we have to endure every season you went and cancelled a truly insightful and truly unique program. Give it another shot, you won’t regret it!
Anne Hanson says
August 26, 2015 at 12:44This series was excellent (though I didn’t love the parts that involved the young boys being ‘groomed’).
It was well-written, well-acted, intelligent, and kept your attention. What more do you need?
Okay – you need viewers, but I never would have known about this show unless I read about it in a tv critic’s column. It’s increasingly difficult to keep up with new shows, new seasons, etc etc and – often – by the time you discover a show you love, it’s been pulled due to a lack of audience. The news of
this show’s cancellation is really disappointing.
Destiny says
September 8, 2015 at 02:13They cancel the good shows!!!! I enjoyed Dig!!!! I was excited for season 2!!!! Very disappointed with the decision!!!!
Tang, Chi-Khay says
September 11, 2015 at 23:49C’est vachement pas juste de l’annuler sans nous donner un fin… je aime beacoup cette series…
RG says
September 14, 2015 at 01:10Can’t believe this fantastic show was cancelled for S2. It was captivating, suspenceful, entertaining, mysterious, wildly educational (made want to go to Jerusalem again and learn more about all the cultures that went through that area for thousands of years), historical and multicultural. Why? Why? After only one season? And the ratings wete great! What’s up with you guys!!! BRING IT BACK! Yallah! Yallah!
Jim J says
September 20, 2015 at 14:16Very, very disappointed in USA. DIG was an excellent, visually stunning and thought provoking series. Hope you all change your minds,
DrewDiGGi says
September 24, 2015 at 18:57Stupid. Hopefully Netflix or someone else scoops it up
John says
October 5, 2015 at 15:48I just sent over a polite request to USA Network to re-consider this show! Perhaps if enough people write in…. worth a shot.
Tom says
October 17, 2015 at 00:26I liked the show. They could have taken the show to Rome or Egypt or many places to give a new interesting perspective with each season.
Tan says
November 1, 2015 at 10:11100% agreed I wish they would bring it back. I had actually stopped watching USA for a while until I saw this show on demand. I came to check out when season 2 would start only to find out it was canceled. I’ll go back to skipping the USA channel because I’m over law and order.
david zee says
October 21, 2015 at 15:21was looking forward to 2nd season,, WTF?
James L says
October 29, 2015 at 21:40Fuck USA
Pat says
December 30, 2015 at 19:53Loved it!!! I hope another network will pick it up. It is the best show on TV
Wanda Boutwell-Brown says
January 7, 2016 at 17:04Best show ever on USA.
Darrell says
January 8, 2016 at 23:51you network people are always screwing things up, were do you get your ratings anyway? If you want true ratings then set up a web site that the viewers can go to and cast a vote or have some input.
you just axed another great show.
Laurel says
January 23, 2016 at 00:11The reason why the dig
got canceled because people don’t have any brains in their head they’d rather watch shallow shows like The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.
Betsy Adams says
February 1, 2016 at 21:47I just watched Dig in less than 24 hours. Why didnt I know about this show? I watched Episode 1-10, and I could not stop watching it. I felt attached to the characters immediately And was sad and impressed each time a character died Or got hurt. This is not like any other show and if what I read is correct The networks have no guts Because they do not want a show on that’s different and vibrant And keeps you on the edge of your seat. Networks wants the same old same old mind-numbing nobody cares type of show. Too bad, Dig was Excellent!
TJ Loucks says
April 7, 2016 at 21:51Sad…love that show. I hate when they cancel great shows because first year ratings were marginal. It’s so common now, that I have a ton of friends that won’t even watch a show until it’s been on for two years because they hate when they love a show and it gets cancelled after one year. I don’t see how quality shows can get cancelled, but stupid shows like Two Broke Girls and Housewives of XX continue.
Nick says
April 16, 2016 at 19:25Man, it’s sad to see the show was cancelled. I kept on looking to see if season two would show up since all the season one are On Demand. One of the only shows I watched.
Basha says
June 12, 2016 at 18:59I I have read many comments.
I was looking forward to season two.
I want USA to film the whole story!
WOW! with such garbage on reality t.v.
This was a well done storyline.
PLEASE RECONSIDER
C. Godfrey says
August 26, 2016 at 17:41WHAT A SHAME!!! This was a smart, intense and visually stunning series. Can believe that TV execs. let this one leave the network. It seems that real entertainment gets cancelled and all the stupid reality shows and sitcoms just keep rolling out for the masses. Really sorry to see this go.
Elizabeth Sheedy says
July 22, 2017 at 20:18I had been so looking forward to season two. Best series in recent history. Totally cool and so interesting. Why in the world do you cancel. Please be it back. Screw the criticism of the fanaticism of people who can’t be open-minded. 5☆ series.
