Last night, NBC aired the season finale of American Odyssey. Though the show’s ratings have been very poor, there’s apparently still some hope that the drama will survive to see a second season.
Last night, executive producer Peter Horton wrote, “Seeing your comments all season, but especially tonight, best fans ever. Will let you know about season two tomorrow. xo #AmericanOdyssey”
Unfortunately for fans of American Odyssey, the ratings have not been good. The series debuted to low ratings — a 1.14 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.372 million viewers — and they’ve gotten much worse since then. Last week’s installment hit a new low with a 0.4 in the demo and 2.2 million.
6/29 update: Series co-creator Adam Armus has tweeted, “No news today dear #AmericanOdyssey fans. See you here tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel.”
6/30 update: NBC has cancelled the series.
What do you think? Have you stuck with the series? Are you hoping that it will be renewed for a second season?
Really hoping this show will continue another season. Every episode built on the characters, plot, & suspense. I’m not an authority on the reality of world &/or cultural events, but this scenario seems completely plausible to me, & has been thoroughly entertaining… a refreshing alternative to other viewing options.
Great show. I have watched it all. Keeps you interested.
American Odessy is one of the best shows on television. Well written & keeps me wanting to know more & more every week. Please don’t cancel!!! We love this show & it deserves more time to develop!!
My husband and I never missed an episode. Please renew!
Love this – don’t cancel! I can’t wait for each episode. Best series on TV!’
Please don’t cancel the show. I love it. It’s complicated, but the writing is terrific.
Do not cancelled . Excellent serie
PLEASE do NOT cancel this show. My husband and I have watched since
the beginning. This show is different from the same old tv shows.
However it felt like the season finale was rushed as though there
should have been an episode in between the last two. Still, all in all
I am hoping for a season two and wasn’t ready for season one to be over.
Please come back for another season… We loved the show!! We can’t believe that it had low ratings! Please at least give it another try!!
Love the series…really hope we see a second season!
Best show this season DONT cancel
Love the series. Season two please.
NBC should not cancel AO so soon. Yes, the story was a bit slow to develop but there are so many directions it can be taken now. Not renewing for a 2nd season would be a sin. This is finally a show on the big 3 that competes with them likes of Homeland and the Sapranos…
Season finale left many loose threads and unresolved issues. If American Odyssey is not brought back for second season, then the entire first one will have been pointless. Acting fairly good among leads but they could have told the same story in half the time. Why stretch it out for so many episodes and then leave fans hanging for resolution?
I certainly hope this series is renewed. I am pretty fed up with television. Everytime I get interested in a series it is not renewed and you never get closure. Thus why I dont care for television and prefer to read. I sure hope NBC will keep the series for all of us who watched all season one and are waiting to see outcome Odelle will make now that she has finally arrived in Washington.
