The game is over. Deadline reports NBC has cancelled their new drama Game of Silence during its first season.
The series revolves around five childhood friends who have kept a dark secret for 25 years. The cast includes David Lyons, Michael Raymond-James, Larenz Tate, Bre Blair, Claire van der Boom, Deidrie Henry, Conor O’Farrell, and Demetrius Grosse.
Only six episodes into its run, Game of Silence has received steady-but-low ratings, earning an average of .81 in the 18-49 demo and 3.898 million viewers.
NBC has also cancelled the freshman medical drama Heartbeat and the Eva Longoria comedy Telenovela.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Game of Silence? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
I just LOVE, LOVE, this show; and it kills me that every time I find a show that’s different and really holds my interest, it gets cancelled. I’m so sick of the crap that’s kept on TV, season after season, I have to wonder who is watching because I myself am so FED UP of medical, political, cop, singing, dancing and alien series. Please give this show a chance and at least give it another season. Everyone I’ve told about Game of silence is also hooked on it. SUCH A DAMN SHAME!!! it’s no wonder, I revert back to watching… Read more »
I think so, too. I hope see another.
Please don’t cancel this show!! It is a wonderful show!!!
I love this show. Please do not cancel it. I feel like you do not give new shows a chance to build viewership.
Not sure why this show was cancelled. This was a great show! Just about all the people I work with love it too. Maybe rerun your numbers?
Very disappointed to read Game of Silence has been cancelled! Good cast, good script that you actually have to pay attention to the dialog. Not like 99% of the shows you can leave the room, come back and still know what is going on.
Game of Silence is a great show with talented actors. Don’t know why NBC cancelled it. It just started in April they didn’t even give it a chance.
Bad move for NBC I hope another network will pick it up.
Why in the world was this series cancelled? This has been one of the best new shows that I have seen. NBC what is wrong with you?
WHAT IN THE WORLD? BEST SHOW I HAVE SEEN THIS SEASON AND IT IS CANCELLED? NBC WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
This is one of the most balanced TV episodic programs I’ve ever watched on network TV. It is in caliber with the dramatic shows appearing on the premium channels. It is almost as good as “True Detective” on HBO. “Game of Silence” is very well cast, directed, acted, and extremely well written. ALL of the actors are top-notch, and the chemistry is real-feeling.
Bring it back, or, at least, finish the run with a realistic, complete ending.
I really like this show. Very disappointed that it’s being cancelled-network TV doesn’t often have shows that are as good as cable shows and this one was. I’m bummed..
Why don’t the networks pick up another cop or fbi show? Cause it not like there’s so many of them out there as it is.Sure, why not. Bummed they chose not to renew. It’s almost if the plot is focused on one thing, those kind of shows don’t make it very far. How long could the “game” actually last?
Disappointed for sure! Love that it is similar to one of my favourite movies!
I really liked Game of Silence. Is there any way it can be renewed or another network pick it up. The same for Crowded
Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! I love this show !!!! Why is it that all the good shows get the ax ???? I’m truly disappointed.
Called this one from the pilot… A remake of a remake of a remake… I mean……….
#SAVEGOS! #GameOfSilence
Let me guess…. The movie ‘Sleepers” along with TV’s ‘Game Of Silence’ 2012 & 2016 are all based (in a round-about way) on the true story/novel “Sleepers.”
