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 was so hooked to game of silence! How the heck can NBC cancel it without giving it a chance! With all the stupid reality shows on you would think NBC would keep such a great suspense show on! I may have to rethink about watching NBC anymore now.
Agree
I love Game of Silence and cannot even believe it has been canceled. I am extremely disappointed, it is one of my favorite shows; please bring it back!
Agree!
I loved Game of Silence, it kept my attention and the suspense is great…Also it is not fair to end a show with unanswered questions..Please reconsider…At least one more episode to end it with closure..
This was one of the VERY FEW shows that was actually worth watching and I find it hard to believe it had low ratings. Please give this show a 2nd chance and make YOUR viewers happy. There is more garbage than good tv these days. Why not let us decide what we want to watch?
That are crazy for canceling this show!!! I am so sick of getting hooked on a show and then they cancel it. I hope another network picks it up!!! I’m sure they will fill the slot with another useless reality show!!!
Please give this excellent, well written show a chance! The first season was very good and people got into it slowly, but surely. Don’t end it when it’s reached its great momentum and has viewers on the edge of their seats in suspense over what will happen next!
The story is good, the actors are wonderful. I was horrified to find that it was canceled PLEASE bring it back….
Thank you!! A. Geller
Please don’t cancel Game of Silence. My husband & I love this show! We look forward to seeing it every week!
Please renew! Loved the show. I can’t believe it was canceled. Sometimes it takes a bit for people to discover new shows. With ondemand, shows aren’t always seen live. Not sure how that would effect ratings.
Say it isn’t so! My favorite program on
TV. So sick of reality shows. Very
disappointed in NBC if they actually
cancel GAME OF SILENCE.
Game of Silence just keeps getting better and better, and you are canceling it? Unbelievable!
Game of silence had so much going for it! Why would it be cancelled?? Intrigue. Love triangles. Old secrets. Corrupt politicians and socialites. Why???
Omg please don’t cancel game of silence! This show is amazing! There’s other shows that should be canceled instead of this one! If you follow the show on FB there are tons of fans. How can you cancel a show with so many fans???
Seriously, NBC??!!! Next you’ll be canceling “The Blacklist.” Are you trying to decrease viewership because you’re certainly succeeding. I usually don’t even give new NBC shows a first look because of the history of poor programming and decisions, but decided to give “Game of Silence” a try and, unfortunately, became hooked … it was intriguing, suspenseful, and well written. It had a great ensemble and I looked forward to every episode. Renew!!!
Just when NBC brings in a new and terrific, fascinating and intriguing show with everything a show needs, suspense, cover ups, background covering 25 years, and a great cast – they cancel it. You get us hooked and then you pull the plug. This has been one of the best new mini series in years and you don’t even give it a chance. I know it is too late but it would be great if you would reconsider and bring it back. I am 66 years old and the story line was one that kept you guessing what was going… Read more »
Thank you for giving your age. I’m 57 and adored this show, and just posted my opinion. Unfortunately, the demographics stopped at age 49, so I suppose our opinion doesn’t matter much. I agree with you-shame on NBC for cancelling this show!
Loved Game of Silence. Recommend renewing for Season 2+
