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?
Who in the world makes these crazy decisions??? This is a good series and keeps you wanting to watch. Now it is being cancelled—WHY??? This decision needs to be reconsidered.
Why is it being cancelled! This show is beyond too amazing. This & The Blacklist Were The ONLY shows that made me want to watch TV. This actually hurts my feelings. I’m speechless to how deep &awesome this show is. I’m deeply saddened
I have really enjoyed watching Game of Silence. I feel it was added at a bad time when all current programming was nearing the end of the season. Please do not cancel.
This show has everything you could want in a great book; a real plot (unlike most shows on TV today), great characters, suspense, drama, all this intermingled with twists and turns that keep you guessing and waiting for the next installment. BUT, I guess that is what makes it too good for viewers today. Shame on NBC for dumbing down their station.
Of course they will cancel Game of Silence, which my husband and I love to watch. Instead they keep anal shows like the Kardashians, zombie eating shows, etc. I also for the life of me why they had to cancel Mike and Molly. It was a funny show and deep down taught life lessons. Not like Kardashians on what slinky dress should I wear, is my butt big enough, etc. It figures that networks want to cancel descent shows and I think it’s dumb.
AMEN!!
Really enjoyed this show! Couldn’t wait to the next week for the next episode which has been harder to find on tv now. Very disappointed to hear they are not renewing.
I’m very disappointed that NBC has cancelled Game of Silence. I watched and/or recorded every episode. There are so many programs (reality shows) that consume network television and I can’t stand any of them yet a good dramatic program doesn’t make the cut. P.S. NOT everyone fits into the “18-49” age range so if you’re not considering anyone else, then by all means, go ahead and cancel a good series. It just means that I will watch another channel instead of NBC. Take note : Chicago Med is another program that has a good story-line and the fact that it… Read more »
This is a fabulously entertaining show. How it could be cancelled is beside me. A big mistake if ya don’t mind one saying. Now we will never know what happens to the Governor elect. Big time sucks
This show is amazing and I’m on the edge of my seat EVERY EPISODE!!! This so very disappointing…thanks NBC I agree with the others, give it a chance and promote it more. This is ridiculous…
Great show should have seson 2 many twist there should be other shows canceled
Love the show. Finally an interesting new series and NBC cancels it, yet they leave the cheap crappy shows on. Am sick of the stupid reality tv shows and the dumb comedy. Shame on NBC.
I love this show. Lots of suspense, like secrets and lies. Why are you cancelling? There are more shows out there that should have been cancelled on their first run because their content is so awful and they keep renewing them. I am so sad game of silence is coming to an end.
Yes very dissappointed
So . . why is NBC canceling this show again? Only excellent show on TV at this time of the year. I believe that viewers deserve an explanation – particularly after we all got hooked into the drama. Too many loose ends that need tying up, in my view.
Best show on TV Why don’t they cancel some of the crap
I definitely do think there should have been a second season! This is an awesome show! It should have been given a chance. I became interested in this show for Larenz Tate, but quickly became a fan of all the other stars of the show. The plot is a good one, and the twists in the show were not expected (Terry and bad cop). Please bring it back for a second season. I think the cast deserves it. They did a great job!
