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?
I think in my option revenge shall shuffle to Midseason next season & have Nashville move from Wednesday to Sunday’s at 10:00pm/11central & have revenge air at later time & day probably have move back to Wednesday nite where they originate so they can conclude their presume final fifth season of 13 episode to finish most likely by summer 2016.(I need at least one more season of revenge please do renew it)I love this show!,,
I record this, cause my husband can’t stand it. I have enjoyed it immensely until recently. The plot has lost most of it’s flavor, and I don’t see how that can be turned around. Emily’s whispery voice is also starting to annoy me which is a very bad sign. I think it is definitely time to wrap it up; hopefully in a way that will honor the show’s original “gotcha” .
I loved this show when it began, the young woman making sure those who wronged both her and her father got what was coming to them. But the father is now alive, and the revenge that was the original premise has gotten muddied with subplots thrown in almost like paint being thrown onto a canvass, as though that can make a masterpiece. Tonight with the new strange plot addition (some guy with an accent killing the police captain then threatening Emily’s dad with whatever—I gave it up and turned it off. I don’t even care how it ends anymore. What… Read more »
When Aiden and Conrad Grayson died and they brought back the Dad it was over for me. The acting is superb but the story just isn’t there any more.
How can you not like the plot? This is a superb plot!!!!! Love this entire season. This is my 2nd favorite season behind season 3!!!! LOVE THIS SO MUCH PLEASE RENEW FOR SEASON 5!!!!
It looks like it is coming to an end this year, I think its story line got to convoluted a few years back an it never did recover. I still watch the show and will see it to the end but I will miss it.
Loved this show from the first 10 minutes of first episode, but seriously, its down right monotonous now, let it die respectfully and with dignity.
RENEW IT,,,,,I LOVE THE SHOW,,,,PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL
I have enjoyed the show from the beginning, but it is time to bring it to an end. The story line is losing places to go.
Please don’t cancel… It’s getting good…
The show from the beginning wasn’t suppose to last this many seasons. It’s time to end it!
Revenge lasted this long because it’s an amazing show!!! Hoping for many seasons to come!
I’ve watched this show from the beginning. I’ve seen it get really stupid story line to keep the show going. It’s funny how the writers try and make it connect. It’s time to make it stop. I’ll probably still watch it, like a good train wreck
I think they need to dump this show. The story lines are getting too wierd. They try to make them connect. I’ve watched from the begining. But if they keep it going, I feel it’s going to get more stupid to make it work
They are killing off the Grayson’s, Victoria is the only one left on the show, this will be the last season.
They have not killed off Charlotte.
Charlotte is in rehab. the writer producer does not want to end the show. he is just looking for interesting story angles. i think they need fresh writers or the original writers that wrote the first two years.
Do not cancel! I am always left in suspense! There is so much left to be revealed about these characters!
This is a great show. I look forward to seeing it! Why cancel what we like…..Sunday is a tough night.
SUPER and Great tv serie ever! THRILL and SUSPENSE all the way. Hope to see an ending, the real downfall of Victoria where she apologizes to Amanda.
Do not cancel it!!!! I love it!!
