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?
American Odissey is one of the best tv series I have ever seem, it is different from other tv shows. I didn’t even want the first season to end. I am really sad that season one is all we got. It is not fear. I really wish is a second season coming out. There is so much for the actors to give for a second season. Anna Friel and Omar Ghazaoui are great actors. Pleas please please star another season.
I just watched the entire season on Netflix. I thought itvwas a good story and needs an ending.
Hopefully Netflix will pick up this series. It is so good. I’ve been binge watching season 1 on Netflix. Shame on you NBC you canceled a show worth watching.
I cannot believe NBC would cancel a smart show like American Odyssey! A smart, action pack & the best drama series ever! Not only was I hooked but our entire family & friends were as well. It is incredible to me how TV Network executives are “so out of touch” with main stream America. They will cancel a show like this one but keep stupid sitcoms on that make no sense. Just wish someone else would pick them up and start season 2!
This was the best action series I’ve ever watched…So Heart breaking was the news about its cancellation. Odelle Decker,Harrison and the rest of the cast What a great show you brought to our attention Please bring one up just like that
This film is inspiring both in public and private firm or sector as the case may be and i dont see any reason why NBC will not allow it to continue except that something is not right in their government. anyway is very sad
I am absolutely saddened that American Odyssey will not continue!! It was not only good, but so very interesting! ! We don’t get shows that are real and keep you wanting more! I never missed an episode and hate to see it come to an end! PLEASE bring it back!!!!
So tired of good show’s being cancelled! Thanks NBC
i am so bummed…i googled to see when season 2 was starting and to my dismay…it has been cancelled…the acting was wonderful and exciting…and one is left hanging if odelle fulfills what she has to do and gets back to her husband and daughter…not fair!…all the good shows get cancelled and the sitcom drivel continues on,,,sigh
I totally agree that this was an excellent show. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I was always looking forward to watching it again next week. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I’m disappointed it got cancelled and I’m kinda disappointed that NBC would leave us hanging like that.
American Odyssey was one of the BEST shows on TV; I looked forward to seeing it every Sunday night and was kept on the edge of my seat with the suspense that continued from week to week. I am really disappointed that NBC cancelled this show; neither can I believe that the ratings were low and continued to drop as the series progressed from week to week. I think the plot was too realistic and the powers that be knew that what was happening to Anna Friel’s character was too believable and caused many to wonder what really happens to… Read more »
Exactly my feelings. It eas y favorite show.
I always keep my eyes clean whenever I watch drama…reason why I hate drama, but this one drama-action and more realistic…really made me give up my emotion, so I really did cried… I love the show! I was wondering if the US goverment has something to do with cancellation; you know, this series is kind of blowing up top secrets. It could be real…counldn’t it be?
I totally agree! It hit too close to home!
I LOVED THIS SHOW! THERE ARE SO MANY LOUSY TELEVISION PROGRAMS BUT THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO CANCEL THE GOOD ONES.
I loved the show
I can’t believe this show was cancelled. It was smart, well-written, well-acted. What a waste of talent. Awesome show, very disappointing that it was pulled.
