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?
Great series…so very disappointed that it was cancelled! Nothing worth watching now!
Yet again, another show we actually like and it has been dropped, so much c**p on telly most of the time. What about dropping some of those.
I have never enjoyed a series like this before. Just when the story starts its cancelled. You better have better reasons for cancelling great shows and keeping up with nonsense shows.
Sosorry for the camcellation of a great sho,w
Just got back from vacation. I was very disappointed to learn that American O has been cancelled. I think it was well written and well acted. Why not give it a few more “edge of your seat” episodes to make it catch on to a wider audience ? It has the potential to become another Scandal.
I ask myself why I should I be watching nbc?
Always they make us watch the series like American Odyssey and Jericho an after one or two season they Cancel it.
They did the same thing with the serie Jericho
They prefer to make us watch series that have nonsense then to make us watch good serie that they are more close to the reality.
NBC Good luck with sheep’s.
Would have tightened up the scatter-gun approach of jumping from one situation to another and ended one or two of the on-the-edge characters and spent more time with the main story and characters. In other words, eliminate the chaff and focus on the grain! I loved the whole theme but the script was a bit here-and-there for me.
Loved this series. First time in a long time something on network TV was worth watching.
this is very very best show on NBC in history. I really like this show. This is the best highest rating in the world!!!.
great show no wonder they would cancel an intelligent well acted program. Future of network TV. Violent programs for morons.
What are you thing of canceling this show. this show great. Can another station pick it Up?
Can’t believe you would cancel this show! Best series on TV!
This was a GREAT SHOW, well written with an excellent cast, so of course it was canceled. We need more of this type of quality viewing and a lot less tasteless tacky “reality” shows.
Put in on Cable…it was a great show
It was a great series. So sad to see it didn’t last.
What were you guys thinking? This was a great show. A very sad day
