There won’t be a second season of American Odyssey. To little surprise, NBC has cancelled the dramatic TV series after 13 episodes.
On the American Odyssey TV show, an international cover-up explodes when the lives of a female Special Forces soldier, a disillusioned corporate lawyer, and a political activist from a privileged family unexpectedly collide. The cast includes Anna Friel, Peter Facinelli, Jake Robinson, Jim True-Frost, Sadie Sink, Omar Ghazaoui, Nate Mooney, Elena Kampouris, Daniella Pineda, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Treat Williams.
The series had a lackluster debut and the ratings got much worse as the weeks progressed. The 13 installments ended up averaging a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with fewer than three million viewers. The finale aired this past Sunday.
Series creator Adam Armus tweeted, “Thanks to the devoted fans of #AmericanOdyssey. I loved the tweets, the artwork and the emotional support. #odellelives in our [heart]️ always!” and “#AmericanOdyssey is not renewed for next season. The stories live on in here [head] and in here [heart]️! [Bravo] to the fantastic cast, crew and the fans!”
Of the cancellation, executive producer Peter Horton tweeted, “As you all know we have bn canceled. Had we been on cable wld have bn a hit Thx to all of u for bing our audience #thebest #AmericanOdyssey” and then, “#AmericanOdyssey Heartbreaking. But you all have been the best. xo”
Actor Treat Williams wrote, “American Odyssey has been a great experience. Thank you Peter, Adam, Kay,and a lovely cast for a great season. Thank you NBC for the gig.”
What do you think? Did you like the American Odyssey TV show? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled it or renewed the series for a second season?
So sorry to hear that there won’t be a2nd series.they left it at a great time for a new one.
Can’t understand why this series has been canned…it wasn’t an epic, but it was good to watch and they kept the plot rolling. If anyone whoo reads these comments can bring it back, please do so…though a bit far fetched at times it did show just where this world is heading.
We all enjoyed it very much, what a let down there isn’t going to be another series. Anna Trial was excellent
My partner and I are really sorry that this series will not continue. We
have looked forward to viewing it every Sunday and cannot believe that
NBC are happy to leave it with such an unsatisfactory ending. Please
bring it back.
I have just watched the last episode of Odyssey and must say that I am quite disappointed in the whole series. It started off pretty well but steadily went downhill. I kept thinking that it got more ridiculous and totally unbelievable. Young Harrison was supposed to be a clever clogs and kept doing the most stupid things. Odelle was as bad. If I had escaped from my captors, and my family thought I was dead, I think I would phone them first before anyone else. I could list a hundred things that made the whole thing unbelievable. In comparison with… Read more »
to John Fraser: I totally agree with you. I have posted a half dozen times about the dumbfounding bad decisions made by all of the main characters. Whatever bad behavior may occasionally occur in the military and their private, sometimes secret partners, the scenario in this show is Totally outside any possible reality. The fact that so many other commenters seem to believe this is real leaves me in despair for the level of misinformation, conspiracy theories, just plain ignorance of so many of my fellow citizens. Many other posters do not seem to have any understanding of economics. The… Read more »
Loved it. Was most disappointed that there won’t be another series. What are they playing at?
Its such a shame that a brilliant series like this has been cancelled, the last episode
did’nt wrap it up properly , made me feel like I had wasted the last 13 weeks.
Is it because it was getting too close to the truth about what is really going on…
Loved it and can’t wait for a a season two! You can not leave it hanging there surely. It was really well acted and such good story. Bring it back please!!!!
Really disappointed that it was left knowing there could have been a further season. Poor Aslam – left wandering in Barcelona lol !!! British viewer who watched every episode – disappointed nbc
Loved the show! Story, acting, locations, twists, etc. were all great ingredients for a series on network television that wasn’t like all the others … so bored with them all.
Amazed there isn’t a season 2. Really!?!
Began with such promise but dragged on and and on and on; a weak and inconclusive finale – if, indeed, it has ended!.
Both my husband and I loved this show. We DVR’d each episode and often watched it more than once. Some other network should pick it up.
So sorry to hear the show has been cancelled. I think it had at least another season left in it. It figures. If I like something it’s going to go the way of the Dodo birds! Please give it one more try.
We loved it and were really looking forward to seeing the rest of the story unfold. It sort of had a feeling like 24. The actors were very good. Bring it back!
Renewed
I agree that it was a good series and the ratings are probably accurate, because if a series is tuned into, IE: recording, it is counted. But I don’t believe the network cancelled it for the ratings. It was cancelled due to the fact that it was putting our military in a bad light. Something most of this country won’t toleratel Realistically, this would not happen.
