Despite a valiant effort, The Brave TV show has been cancelled by NBC. In this instance, the 13-episode first season wasn’t a sign of certain cancellation, as a shorter season aways the plan for this series. In November, after some early gains in the Nielsens, the Peacock Network was even touting the show’s ratings, but they later dropped off and weren’t strong enough to score a season two renewal.
An NBC military drama, The Brave stars Anne Heche, Mike Vogel, Natacha Karam, Demetrius Grosse, Noah Mills, Hadi Tabbal, Tate Ellington, and Sofia Pernas. The series centers on Captain Adam Dalton (Vogel) who leads his Special Ops squad on dangerous field missions across the globe. Back in their Washington D.C. headquarters, D.I.A. Deputy Director Patricia Campbell (Heche) oversees the unit which provides support and analysis for Dalton and company.

TOO BAD!! I guess I will be watching alot of cable tv next year. All the good shows including “The Brave” were cancelled.
Keep The Brave on! Not enough blood, sex and deception for ratings? Why is it that a talented show with pure suspense is no longer good enough for prime time TV? Honestly, it seems unless there is enough ‘crossing-the-line-R-rating’ scenes, ratings from normal viewers just don’t matter to the higher-ups anymore. So sad.
I loved the Brave and was very upset to find out it has been cancelled. It doesn’t matter how many reality shows or whatever type there is – what matters is if it is a good show and we enjoy it. I think they should let us decide which ones we like not tell us what they are taking off. If it was ranked high it should remain!! I watch it along with Seal Team, and will watch Six if it comes back.
Of all the military shows I prefer this one. Every where you look it’s about the SEALs, don’t mind see SEALs in action, but it’s wasn’t true to them. Bring back The Brave. Low ratings is BS, most people don’t have time to sit down & watch TV, I don’t I DVR it and enjoy it later. I have kept all the episodes.
Come on. This show was great. Please put it back on
I absolutely loved it. they have had the stars of the show and all the talk shows. If the ratings were not high enough they didn’t advertise it properly cuz it was an awesome show
please please and please renew “the brave for season 2 we love that military series” Thanks
Just went back to watch a couple of the episodes last night. They are superb. Need to bring that show back!!
