It looked like Revenge might be cancelled due to mediocre ratings last May. ABC gave the TV series a renewal instead, likely in part because the network’s other new dramas didn’t perform as well. Will Revenge’s ratings fall lower this season or will this nighttime soap’s numbers rise instead?
The second season of Revenge typically airs Sunday nights on ABC. The network has ordered 22 episodes. The cast includes Emily VanCamp, Madeleine Stowe, Henry Czerny, Joshua Bowman, Christa B. Allen, Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Connor Paolo, and Ashley Madekwe.
Here are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if Revenge is going to be cancelled or renewed for season three.

Year-to-year, the season debut of Revenge was down slightly from the series premiere, by 3% in the demo (vs a 3.3 rating) and down by 3% in viewership (vs 10.02 million). These were the highest numbers since last year’s premiere. A very positive start.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Revenge TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Reniew it! It’s my favorite show on TV right now!

RENEW THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST SHOW ON TV!!! WE CAN’T MISS AN EPISODE PLAN EVERY TIME IT’S ON CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT! IF ABC CANCELS THIS SHOW WE WILL NEVER EVER WATCH ANYTHING THEY OFFER AGAIN!
I must agree with Trish. What made Revenge good last year has been lost this year. I’m to the point I don’t care what happens. So instead I now watch Downton Abbey, tape Revenge and watch if I have time.
I loved Revenge last season. This season I hate the Sunday night timeslot, there are too many new characters and the original plotline seems to have been abandoned. It was a great show that unfortunately went bad.
It’s the BEST series EVERRR!!!!! We love it ! Please renew it for a third season. It’s so brilliant and twisty!
Everything good that is said about this series is right on. It’s one of the best series I’ve ever seen. Please keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
Please renew 2013! I love the show! The cast, writers & acting all GREAT!

Are you stupid?! Revenge is one of the best series. Series demonstrated stability and does not fall consistently as most of the other series. Moreover, Revenge faces perfectly The Good Wife, and does well despite of The Walking Dead!
I love this show and look forward to watching it every Sunday. I have not missed one episode yet… Please do not cancel it…
I have netflix and I have recently finished all of season 1 and I love it . I am waiting to be able to see the second season wich I’m confident will be as great as the first season.I love this show and hope that they keep it going . I don’t get into series much because every time I do it gets cancelled. I don’t think it’s fair to those of us whom love the show or like the show to be let down because their may be a handful that like it and a handful that don’t. I… Read more »
