It’s been quite awhile since NBC had a successful drama on Sunday nights. Will American Odyssey change that and become a hit in the ratings? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

6/30 update: NBC has cancelled the series after one season.
Final season averages: 0.54 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.96 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the American Odyssey TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Why cancel such a popular show?
This was a great series which I found gripping and intriguing and I looked forward to watching it every Sunday night. It’s so frustrating that the loose ends won’t be tied up now. Will Aslan get to America? What’s wrong with Harrison? Will Peter get back with his wife? Will Odelle get her life back and see her family again? Please commission a second series!
I really enjoyed watching this show but was completely disappointed with how it ended – I need to see more!! Please give it another chance!
I miss this show so much !! I waited every week to watch this show !! It was the best I’ve ever seen on tv !! If NBC doesn’t bring it back, I hope and pray another network will give it a try ! Maybe another time slot or another night….just bring it back !! I’ll watch it whatever night it’s on !! A fantastic show !!!
Bring American Odyssey back PLEASE. Best new show of the season. Better than most other series on NBC. Maybe another network with more sense will pick it up.
This show was basically THE best! I loved it , VERY DISSAPOINTED:(
Why do they always cancel the good shows and leave the junk. Not interested in the ads I have seen so far. Junk junk and more junk
I actually binged watched the entire series recently and i really liked the show. Maybe a different title would have been better. Trying to keep up with 3 different story lines was a little vexing, but I managed. Too bad one couldn’t focus on just two and mostly the soldier part of this. It’s a little like cowboy movies, you don’t see a lot of soldiering going on in movies these days, maybe because there so much of the real life of it out there. A good show too bad it cancelled. Should have kept this one on and gotten… Read more »
Loved the show. Very disappointed that it has been canceled. Stupid NBC.
I loved this series and looked forward to seeing it every Sunday. Very disappointed about the cancellation. Most of what’s on now is junk. This was interesting.
People are tired after a weekend of house work, yard work, etc., so they probably go to bed at 10pm in preparation of the new week. I know I do. I agree with Denise, there’s not much to watch through the week in the summer, also Saturday night is garbage, so change it. Maybe even 9pm slot. Just finish it instead of leaving the viewers with no ending.
Would like a taxi to be returned so fans of the show could have a closure to where they had left the ending try it on a different time slot then on Sunday night during the week when there’s not something on television like Thursday nights to leave a show like that open to wear we don’t know what happened
Watch the last episode how could NBC leave a show hanging to the reviewers like that bring the show back on a different time slot and you might have more viewers
I know, that was the absolutely the worst way NBC could have ended it ! I never missed an episode of it …….I was mesmerized by it every Sunday night !! NBC needs to give it another chance ….maybe a different night or a different time ! I was the best tv show I’ve seen in ages !!
I think they should return the American Odyssey to leave everybody hanging on whether the woman soldier returns to home or not is not good for TV they should try to another time slot Thursday nights I would like to see the series returned for a second season for at least a closure on the program
I know, that was the absolutely the worst way NBC could have ended it ! I never missed an episode of it …….I was mesmerized by it every Sunday night !! NBC needs to give it another chance ….maybe a different night or a different time ! I was the best tv show I’ve seen in ages !!
There is nothing else to watch in that time slot on Sunday nights and this is a great series!
