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”

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.

This is a great show! I’ve loved every minute of this first season. PLEASE don’t cancel the show.
I sure hope it’s renewed. Watched every episode.
Watched every episode , please renew . So much better than half the shows on tv now .
Enjoyed the adventure and look forward to more.
I have enjoyed the entire series. If they can retain the quality I hope that the series gets renewed. It wouldn’t be the first series that started slow but grew tremendously in latter seasons.
I followed American Odyssey from the start and was hooked. It is a well done production and I look forward to season two. Please!
Best show ever! I will be devastated if there is not a Season 2 of American Odyssey. This series was OUTSTANDING and deserves to be continued. This was the most gripping, edge of the seat show I have seen in years. I am absolutely addicted to it. Please do NOT cancel!!!!!!
Watched every episode. Would hope it continues.
my husband anD I really liked the show. Hoping for a renewal!!!
Finally a great show on T.V and they’re gonna cancel it. I am really disappointed.
Please do not cancel this series. I look forward to Season 2. This show kept me spellbound. I look forward to seeing what happens to the main players. To cancel this program would be devastating for those of us who follow this story on a weekly basis. Please don’t cancel!!!!!!!
May be the 9pm (central time) time slot is hard to watch. I watched it the first debut and I loved it. I don’t want it when is comes out. I DVR it and watch it later. My husband and I really like this show.
Stop messing around and renew AMERICAN ODYSSEY
