It is being reported that Fox has cancelled Alert: Missing Persons Unit after three seasons. The news comes less than two weeks after the procedural drama aired its season finale, which now serves as its series ender.

The move is not a big surprise, as the show's viewership has dwindled in recent seasons. Its recent ratings rank it as one of the least watched dramas on the main four broadcast networks.

The series follows members of the Philadelphia Police Department's Missing Persons Unit, who investigate life-or-death cases of people who disappear. In Season 1, officer Nikki Batista and her ex-husband also worked to get to the bottom of their long-lost son's disappearance. Once that storyline was resolved, the show focused more on weekly cases.
