FOX has cut the order of Lookinglass from 13 to 11 episodes ahead of its midseason premiere, due to ‘scheduling needs’, per Deadline.
The move puts the series on cancellation alert, months ahead of its premiere.
With Minority Report, Blood & Oil and The Player on cancellation life support after having their respective episode orders ‘trimmed’, the news doesn’t bode well for Lookinglass.
However, unlike those shows, Lookinglass has yet to air, so it’s not necessarily a sly cancellation move from the network.
Even so, the reduced order isn’t a vote of confidence either, and the Cancellation Reaper will fancy his chances of a swift kill come midseason. Stay tuned…

These types of shows are much better served on Netflix or Amazon, etc. Network TV compromises shows and viewership because of their (dare I say antiquated?) revenue model. Hey Network TV, figure this out soon it is killing us (dare I say alienating?).

Cancel a new refreshing show without giving it a chance? There are so many good shows that are not given any kind of shot to succeed .Does anyone do focus groups anymore to get our feedback? There is a lot of garbage on TV that should be replaced with shows like this one.

Personally, I love this show. Fox seems to put the hex on anything decent.

Why even bother putting the show on if they don’t have a place to put it or keep it on!!! That is just ignorant!!! Get people hooked on the show and involved in the storyline and characters and then just rip it away!!! I’m sick and tired of ALL the networks!!! ABC, NBC, CBS, & FOX they keep putting on new shows and then cancelling them before they have even had a chance to do anything!! Why develop so many new shows to put on during 1 season when you know that it’s not possible to keep them all along with the current shows already on.. It’s like you already know that your not gonna keep something on so why don’t you just put a warning on before each new show saying “BEWARE WE ARE GOING TO BE CANCELLING THIS SHOW AFTER X AMOUNT OF EPISODES SO DONT GET INVESTED INTO THE SHOW”!!
That way we won’t be disappointed when it gets cancelled!!!

I looove this show !!! I hope it doesn’t get cancelled. I look forward to watching it commercial free on my DVR every week. It’s a great show. It is entertaining and it keeps me wanting more. I hope they give it another season. Fox needs to get there shit together and stop canceling the really good shows like usual !!
Nat says
Better not cancel this show. Stop canceling all the good shows.

And this is why FOX is losing viewership! Cancel a decent show after only one season… no second chances at Fox… pun intended. Thank you.
