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.

What do you think? Did you like The Brave TV series? Did you think NBC would cancel or renew it for a second season?
I am so disappointed. I put it on par with Seal Team. The stories were very good too.
Really, Really liked the show a lot, very very disapointed.
I thought The Brave was a great show. I think the networks enjoy us begging for them to keep a program showing on tv.
What a shame. This was an entertaining, easy to watch show. I will miss the characters and would have liked to have known where they all ended up. When a show of this quality is cancelled, it really leaves, at least temporarily, a blank space and a middling feeling of loss. Farewell to the stars and here’s hoping to see you again soon on the screen.
I am very disappointed that “The Brave” is cancelled. I think NBC had a winner with this one. The acting was very good and the storylines/plots were always great – really held my attention. I am now down to watching 3 programs on NBC and the Today show is definitely not one of them!
I thoight “The Breave” was am excellent show! Great casr & terrific story lines. To bad to see it go!!!
The problem with the Brave is it was too intelligent. It was by far the best of the “military” shows, Shame people go for the comic book shows instead of ones that you need to think to appreciate
I loved the brave!!!!!!! not a fan of valor or seal team
It is so unfortunate that this show was cancelled. My opinion is the The Brave was so much better than Seal Team. Acting skills were much better as well as the story lines.
Stupid people to cancel this show that I watch. No one calls me and asks my opinion.
Stupid people that rate that I watch and have no idea that I’ve never been asked. Good show.
This was one of only 2 shows on NBC that I watch. Now I’m down to one. I agree that this is very disappointing. It was a great show with a great cast and terrific story lines. As usual, the only shows that survive are mindless comedies and stupid soap opera-like dramas.
No wonder my husband and I have basically stopped watching TV!
NBC sucks. Hopefully another network picks it up.
CBS promoted Seal and Swat constantly even running banners across the bottom of the screen during other programs. By comparison The Brave got very little promotion from NBC. Found Brave to be one of the best shows on TV and it appears voters felt that way too as it scored high in polls. Hope NBC sees the light like they did with Timeless.
This is extremely disappointing, the ‘Brave’ great, not another cookie cutter show Chicago this Chicago that. Great cast writing story lines fresh and current. NBC you have to step up, this was a big step up for you. Only show on NBC I made certain to record and watch every week. I only stumbled on the ads for it because I follow my local WRAL news and weather team. the Brave gave a very fresh new insight into what our military has to do, manage the stress and Also be the BEST in the world. I saw another post ‘hoping… Read more »
