As it’s May, we know that most of our favorite shows are going to end for another season. In some cases, they’re ending for good. When it comes to Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 3, we know the season will wrap later this month.
It’s a little bit later than some of the other broadcast shows, but that’s because the season got started much later. This has become a spring show, and eyes are still on (at the time of writing this) as to whether the show will be renewed or not.
When will the Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 3 finale air?
We’re closing in on the season finale date. The Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 3 finale will air on Tuesday, May 27. That is a week after the FBIs wrap their seasons on CBS, which is the latest of the Tuesday finales. Most other networks are wrapping the week before with a few exceptions.
It’s because the series didn’t premiere until the end of March. This series has been made a spring show, which has been a good thing for it. The lower linear ratings (compared to many other scripted shows) get away with being like that because of where it sits in the broadcast schedule.
Will there be an Alert: Missing Persons Unit season 4?
At the time of writing this, FOX is still making some big decisions on its network. So far, there hasn’t been a decision about Alert, but we are expecting one to come very soon. We’ll be sure to update this post when that happens.
What are the chances of a renewal, though? This is a mixed bag.
At first, the series performed well in the linear ratings, performing better than the previous season. However, that changed as the show made a huge choice that rocked everything. Most shows know that killing off a main character can lead to the death of the series, but Alert: Missing Persons Unit took that chance. Sadly, it hasn’t seemed to pay off, according to TV Series Finale, with the series now at the bottom of the list of all FOX shows, just ahead of fellow Tuesday night series The Cleaning Lady.
Alert: Missing Persons Unit airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on FOX.
