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.

Absolutely agree. I love the Brave couldn’t get into the Seal team at all. Bring back the Brave
I really enjoyed watching the cast of The Brave — even though there were no “familiar faces”, the scripts were on-topic and characters were very likable and related well with their diversity. I did not like Seal Team, which had similar scenarios. Hey, NBC — Give The Brave another chance like you did for Midnight Texas!!
You’ve got to be kidding me!! Once again, they’ve cancelled a really good show that both my husband and I were looking forward to—and they leave the totally dumb shows on!! Not happy!!
Don’t like this at all! So much better than Seal Team. It had *GASP* interesting characters which Seal Team does not.
I’m so disappointed by this cancellation. The Brave topped the list of great new shows. NBC made a poor decision.
The Brave was so much better than Seal Team. I’m very angry to see it cancelled while so many dull, unimaginative television shows clog prime time. And to leave us with a cliff hanger on top of it is terrible. Hopefully some other station picks it up and gives it a better time slot.
I agree with everyone on here. The Brave was better than any of those other military or cop shows. Entertaining and suspenseful. NBC is a joke. No wonder cable beats the hell out of network tv. Keep the Kardashians and the rest of the no talent shows. Cancel stuff thats well done. Unbelievable NBC. You have done it again!!!
This is the news that I have been dreading. I really liked this show. I thought it was better than SWAT and Seal Team. I sure wish they had been given a second season. Dang!!!
Boo! “The Brave” was easily as good as “Seal Team”. Not taking anything away from David Boreanaz’s latest vehicle, it’s a great show, but “The Brave” was exciting and suspenseful, using little-known actors – okay, and Anne Heche, who was good in her role. But people are stupid, as evinced by the amount of pure dreck still on the air, while good shows get canned for lack of a discerning audience. Aand that is that. Wish it could’ve gotten at least one more season. Hope the actors find work again quickly.
I totally agree
I thought the brave was by far better then seal team. I am so mad it won’t be back. I hope it gets picked up somewhere else
And this is why I don’t like to watch NBC. Every time I get a show I love, it gets cancelled.
Pissed. Hope Netflix pick it up.!
I thought The Brave was one of the Best new shows this year, seconded by Seal Team. I am so very disappointed that The Brave has been cancelled. NBC has really let me dow this time. I am not in the 18 – 49 demographic. I am a Baby Boomer and we are the demographic that still watches TV. The 18 to 49 group are too busy playing video games and Netflix.
I am also of the baby boomer age.
Its bull **** i can’t believe they canceled another great show i am pissed.
NOOOOOOOOOOO. 🙁
I really liked The Brave. And I’m a 60 year old grandma 🙂
