NBC had big hopes for their all-drama Thursday night schedule. Unfortunately, the ratings have been dismal and now the network has cancelled their new drama, Allegiance, after five episodes.
On the Allegiance TV show, Katya and Mark O’Connor (Hope Davis and Scott Cohen) and their daughter Natalie (Margarita Levieva) are part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated. Their mission is to turn their son Alex (Gavin Stenhouse), an idealistic CIA analyst, into a spy. Others in the cast are Morgan Spector, Kenneth Choi, and Alex Peters.
The series debuted on February 5th to a dismal 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.98 million viewers. Then the numbers got even worse after that, hitting lows with a 0.7 in the demo and 3.32 million viewers.
NBC’s eight-episode mini-series The Slap has also been doing very poorly and recently relocated The Blacklist has been taking a beating opposite Scandal on ABC and with no lead-in support.
The network has now decided to pull the plug on Allegiance. They’re moving The Slap to 10pm for the remainder of its short run and will fill the 8pm timeslot with special editions of Dateline NBC.
It’s unclear how many episodes of Allegiance will be left unaired or when/if they will see the light of day. Whatever happens, it looks unlikely that the show’s relatively small audience will get any kind of closure.
What do you think? Did you like Allegiance on NBC? Do you think that the network should have cancelled this series? Should they air the remaining episodes?
Ye please air the final episodes to Allegiance. After we started watching on Hulu we became very interested and were looking forward to watching the next season.
NBC has done it again!!! Everytime they suck me in with a good program, only to cancell it before it comes to a conclusion. I won’t fall for it again… NBC is banned in my house. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, thrice, quance, quince, shame on ME!!
i loved the sho
I love show allegiance! Bring it back!!!!!!!!!
I love the shoe allegiance!!! Bring it back please!!!!!!!!!
U should continue with the remaining episodes….better yet, pls give us Season 2!!
We are really disappointed that this Program is cancelled.. There are few good programs with good plots actually, most are pure “trash” excuse my English., but it’s what it’s… They don’t have any imagination and most of them are a “copy cat” of other programs…
WE hope that the program will re-appear soon, or in the near future !!!!! Cordially,

nice tv show with no nudity and explicit language.. great story line… so sad it is not going to continue…
that sucks that they are canceling the show. Maybe they should have tried a Different day. Great story line.
I am a huge fan of The Americans and watched the pilot of Allegiance with the expectation that it would be nothing more than a rip-off. Not so. The difference, the spies’ son, a loyal American, with a host of talents and challenges, working for the CIA, provided an excellent opportunity–that the show seemed to be taking advantage of– to explore differently the parents’ related fears that run through The Americans.
Please don’t cancel the show, I love this show.
This show is the best show ever plssssssssss NBC Don’t cancel the show pls. You don’t know what you have until you lose it
Love the show Allegience!!!
i love this show great suspense could not wait to see it every week please dont cancel shows
i love this show. it had great suspense. I could not wait to watch it every week. please dont cancel the series.
I thought the show was pretty good, locked some action on the behalf of CIA team a bit of suspense and a little more secrecy would definitely spice it up!
