“Almost Human” had a strong beginning, with 9.2 million viewers and a 3.1 rating, but ratings dropped, and the show ended with 5.63 million viewers.

It was canceled on the same day that executive producer J.J. Abrams announced the cast for "Star Wars: Episode VII."

Frustrated fans expressed their disappointment on Twitter.

Unsurprised to hear @FOXTV cancelling @AlmostHumanFOX I've grown to expect the old networks to make these sort of bad choices

Almost Human got cancelled. A sci-fi show on FOX is like a character on Game of Thrones; don't get too attached.

I am bummed to hear that #AlmostHuman was canceled. Despite its tough buddy-cop exterior, it was a smart look at near-future tech and life.
