Last year, the ratings for Revenge hit new lows but ABC renewed it anyway — likely so that there would be enough episodes for a syndication package. How are things going this season? Have the ratings improved or is it time for the series to end?
Things have changed on this season of Revenge but Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) and Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) still have plenty of reasons to hate each other. The rest of the show’s cast includes Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Josh Bowman, Christa B. Allen, James Tupper, and Karine Vanasse.
The first season of Revenge averaged a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.8 million viewers. The second season dropped to a 2.2 rating and 7.0 million. Last season took an even bigger tumble and the ratings averaged a 1.6 in the demo with 5.9 million viewers.
Unfortunately, this season is performing even worse. The episodes that have aired thus far have averaged a 1.2 rating with 4.9 million. It’s the network’s lowest-rated drama and second-lowest rated scripted series (below Friday’s Cristela sitcom).
Based on the ratings, there seems to be little reason for ABC to continue renewing Revenge. If this is indeed the final season (as it’s rumored to be), hopefully the cast and crew will wrap up the series in a satisfying way.
What do you think? Do you think it’s time for Revenge to end? If you ran the network, would you cancel it or keep it going for a fifth season?
Please don’t cancel it!!! Favourite show ever
This show is painfully bad right now. The fact that everyone is dying tells me this is the final season. It was so compelling in the beginning. Please give it a proper burial.
People keep saying everyone is dying but in season 4 only one person has died! Best show ever!! We want a season 5!!
I love this show. Only Daniel has been written off and he was no longer in Emily’s life. The producer of the show wants to keep it on the air and so do many millions of people , many of whom are not plugged into a neilson rating box like me..
Revenge has been alot of fun.. If the show is cancelled, I hope they give a satisfying ending so that Amanda and Jack can head into the sunset hand in hand. I think David Clark will have to kill Victoria.. Perhaps Charlotte can come back in the final episode to patch up things.
LOVE THIS SHOW! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL…
I love this show!!!please don’t cancel
Yes, it’s time to end it. But make it great. The ending has to wrap everything up and be spectacular!
Please dont cancel!!I absoultely love this show!! One of the best shows out right now. Part of the problems with the ratings is that its up against Sunday Night football!!!!
The writer/producer would like to have the show continue. I Do not think it was a good idea for Danial to be killed off.
I’m actually glad that he was killed off because I wasn’t interested in seeing him become a father to Margaux’s and his child. Nicely done Revenge Writers!!!
They killed off a major character last night.
Not a good sign. Very upsetting.
Daniel was no longer a main character in season 4
that is true. He was no longer a major character.
still , i was sorry to see him go. i would love to see a 5th season. i hope ABC renews it.
Wish they would get better way to judge rating I k ow a lot of revenge fans! A lot!,
Yes i am always astounded by Revenge’s low numbers!!! Revenge scored a 1.2 on the winter finale even though it deserved a 2.5+!!! This is by far the best show on TV and yet it still gets extremely poor ratings! The winter finale of season 4 was so interesting, drama filled, and extremely sad. If you compare an episode of season 1 to season 4 even though the plot lines are not similar I think they are of the same quality!!! Revenge season 4 should be getting 2+ ratings every single week not these pitiful 1.2 ratings that we don’t… Read more »
Yes its time for it too go away! I love this show but there is really nothing more to do with Emily or David or Victoria. I hate to admit once David come back, and the way writers wrote him in with loving Emily, i was disgusted! I feel since the screw up of season two and three, and killing off everyone and stupid story lines i found myself not a dedicated watcher, i tended to start missing episodes, and well then it was down hill from there! I hate to say it but Emily will be Agent 13 in… Read more »
EXCUSE ME!!! Revenge is the best show ever and should never stop!!! Barely anyone has been killed off!! You arewrong !! #LongLiveRevenge
They just killed off a main character. That is very troublesome.
I thought the revenge writers did a fantastic job making Daniels departure memorable and meaningful at the same time. In the end Daniel died for the woman who he truly loved which I thought wrapped up his story very well. In the first 3 seasons Daniel played a major role in Revenge as he was Emily’s fiancé and a large part of her plan to ruin the Grayson’s lives. However after the wedding was called off he was no longer a crucial part of Revenge. Although many people loved him I think it was a good idea to kill him… Read more »
