No Season 2 for the period drama.
January 25, 2018
It is being reported that USA Network has cancelled Damnation after one season. The period drama premiered last fall with a 10-episode run that concluded just last week. The move marks the cable network's first cancellation of 2018.
Set in the 1930s American heartland, the series follows a man disguising himself as a small town preacher as a means of starting a complete insurrection against the status quo. Unbeknownst to him, an industrialist tycoon has hired a professional strikebreaker to stop the uprising at all costs. But what those around them don't know is that these two men share a secret, bloody past.
Reviews of Damnation were mixed from both critics and viewers. Ultimately its ratings reflected that, as the show's modest audience turnout for its premiere episode tapered off significantly during the course of its run.

This was easily my favorite show. This particular time and place in American history has not been dramatized. It was a magnificent show. So much reality trash tv, but this show that people had to *think* while watching is canceled. Nice job, USA Network.

To answer your question jasimine: The producer did not care about the fans. USA did not leave the show on a cliffhanger. They showed every episode they said they would. The show decided not to create an ending because it did not care to.

This upsets me. One of the best shows I've seen in a while. But of course, the good stuff never gets renewed while crap like the bachelor goes forever.

That's a little unfortunate. I enjoyed the first season, although the communist propaganda was a bit much at times.
