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?
NBC is making a big mistake. This show has a great plot. Really good show. Season 2 would have been spectacular. Definitely disappointed with NBC’s decision.
I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline in this new drama,; something different from everything else on TV. It is sad that they will not give it a second chance
This is why I never start a new show. How pitiful. Great plot and excellent acting. NBC fails to advertise shows then they wonder why the ratings are low. No one I know knows about it. My husband and I just happened to stumble upon it ourselves. Really sad.
As did I. I just happened to see it on the first Sunday it aired. I never seen it advertised at all.
I really enjoy watching NBC and some of the great shows it has. My question is….Why does it seem every time a great show comes on and I really get into it NBC cancels it. For instant……Whitney, Constantine, Best Time Ever, Game of Silence, I Can Do That are just some to name. Grimm has been cut on it episodes, why? These are some of the best shows I have ever seen. My fiance and I enjoy watching these shows after our three girls go to bed. I would really like to see a few of these shows make a… Read more »
This show can’t be cancelled!! One of the best new shows. I’m devastated.
Bring it back
I can’t believe NBC is cancelling this show! Game of Silence is full of suspense and drama and great actors and they’re cancelling it?! Please bring it back!
Can you imagine if the yahoo team at NBC today had been in charge when Cheers ended up in the ratings basement during its first season? Good grief, they expected sky-high ratings in April-May, with all sorts of sports competition going on and spring in the air? With its superb original storyline, top writing and acting, and the obvious enthusiasm and commitment of viewers like those expressing their opinions here, NBC potentially had a quality drama on its hands with Game of Silence if they had only nursed and supported it properly. That’s what good programming and being a successful,… Read more »
I can’t believe this great show is cancelled. It has such a different plot and alot of stories within the show.
Love this show!!! Please don’t cancel NBC!!!
My husband and I are watching Game of silence every week. It is a vy good show. It has to come back for a second season.
I am very disappointed about Game of Silence being cancelled. It was one of the best dramas on TV. However, I will be reluctant to get involved in new shows in the future. It is a total waste of time to get all involved just for the show to be cancelled.
My fiance & I agree with you. It is a huge disappointment that these great shows come on, we get into them and then they are cancelled after the first 10 episodes or the first season. I love Game of Silence and a few other shows. I am sad to see it go.
AGREED!
About a month a go I was looking for something different to watch. Long story short,I came across the show and I watched. The show was so intense I was hooked, I went back and watched all the prior shows on demand. After doing so I went to google to see if there were prior years that I could get on Netflix and what I found was the show wasn’t being renewed. I can’t even being to describe my disappointment and only hope some other network grabs it and runs with it.
You always get rid of the best shows!! I would love to rate shows!! Everytime you get a good show you cancel it!! And you bring in a stupid show!! Wake up already!!! i will not watch your station because you have no good shows onit!
My fiance totally agrees with this statement. I am so annoyed by NBCs cancellations.
Very disappointed with NBC for cancelling this show, and if they did the least they could have done was give the characters a happy ending with justice for what they have gone thru.
