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?
Shame on NBC you put on something different and you remove it. You should really take a good look at your sad tv shows, you keep putting back on.
Why not take a good long look at what this series can offer your adult audiences.
Why do the good complex shows get cancelled. Seems if a show isn’t naughty. Simple minded or full of sex they cancel it. Nbc please keep this show.
Agree!! The show has to have sex to stay on tv . This show was a good one! I know a lot of people that are watching it!
Best new show of the season, superb writing, superb acting, originality to burn, and yet… Why do such shows often get cancelled? Mainly because the majority of TV viewers are simply not discerning or sophisticated enough, or able to appreciate complex story lines. There aren’t enough of us who are to counter the great ratings monster.
Game of Silence has so much potential! I wish NBC would reconsider cancellation. Remember when Blacklist was “cancelled”? Now it’s one of the network’s biggest shows. Please give Game of Silence a second chance!!!
I agree. I also love the Blacklist!! I sure hope they reconsider. Jt3H8
Please reconsider!! My husband and I watch this show every week and look forward to it each time! I cannot believe this has been cancelled!!…. Bad decision, in my opinion!
Great show. I don’t think these stations give these shows a chance. Before I get into a show I am going to wait and see if they are going to cancel it. If they don’t then I will binge watch it. No sense in getting into the series and then they pull the plug.
Wow! NBC cancelled Game of Silence???? This is such an EXCELLENT show!! I like very few NBC shows, and now they cancel the one show I loved? Unreal, NBC!! Bring it back! The acting is exceptional, the plot line is unique, and it seems smartly written.
Yet NBC kept the insipid FRIENDS on for how many seasons??? What a stupid show. I don’t know how or why anyone watched it.
Bring Game of Silence back!!
I was VERY surprised to see this show canceled! I agree whole heartedly with the post by Ron & Nancy. Each week the story gets more complex/interesting. I had my doubts in the first show or two, but each week draws me in more. I think it’s a well written & interesting show. Each week peals more layers back. Always more than one surprise. I hope there will be enough feed back from fans they give us at least one more season to show that there are more & more people that will find & then look forward to the… Read more »
Love this show. So disappointed NBC cancelled it.
Great show, poor judgement to cancel. New shows don’t always have a great audience up front. Word of mouth drives more viewers when the show has great potential. Should not have been canceled leaving people hanging that did watch it.
I agree with all the other comments about this show. Someone who has NO clue what people watch and use the ratings as a excuse to cancel shows before they have a chance to gain an audience. Poor decision and one of the reasons I don’t get into new shows on NBC. if they are any good they get canceled.
another good show not given enough time. I don’t know who is making these decisions for your channels, they are certainly not thinking of the fans.
The networks are very shortsighted. Not all shows do well the first season. Look at M.A.S.H. and CHEERS. Both nearly failed the first season.
PLEASE bring this show back! I don’t know who can make this happen or even if any one other than fans can read this but PLEASE bring Game of Silence BACK! Please RENEW! This show has SO MUCH potential! I’m more and more hooked with every episode, others can relate! PLEASE RENEW! This is an awesome show. Reconsider and fans will PROMOTE this show and you will see more ratings!!
I too am getting more interest as each week comes.
Please don’t take the show off give it time to prove its self It appears the subject is something people can identify with
Oh my gosh ! Please don’t cancel this series !! I can’t wait till Thursday to watch this very entertaining and suspenseful show !
