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?
RENEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there are four ep’ left can’t wait !!
Everyone who watches ABC’s Revenge knows this is the only show that has the perfect endings, the perfect plans, and puts everyone on a roller coaster of emotions. This is this best show on ABC and people would be losing lots of respect for the network, especially me. I may be one person out of billions but this show means the world to me aside from the basic possessions in life. It has a good story line and it definately has more potential in a season 5. No one should care about how viewers are going down, Revenge can keep… Read more »
No this is a wonderful show why would there even be talk of canceling it please have a season 5 revenge is great!!!
Do not end!
I am really saddening at this announcement. Do not let this season be the last. I think what happened was the series A D on BBC gave it low ratings. Could you at least give it one more season ?
I love the show but they mentioned tonight that there were four more episodes. I would really like for the show to continue. not sure what is going to happen At the end of tonight’s new episode “Exposure,” a promo aired highlighting the next four episodes of the show. The twist? It specifically said that these are the “last four episodes,” meaning that we are building up now to a series finale more so than a season finale. There’s no real other way to take this, since the words “this season” were never uttered. This does also add to the… Read more »
Please don’t end Revenge! It’s the best show on TV. A large group of us from work watch it every Sunday night and text each other back and forth. Why would you want to cancel something so different from every other show on TV?
I love the show & do not want it to end. Seems like anything with great actors, a great storyline & great writers gets taking off the air & is replaced with a senseless reality show.
I want a season 5 there is so much more that they can go into to.. Victoria and all her involvement with the initiative. please give us season 5
Please keep Revenge on….. no it can not end. Bring Aiden back>>>>>>>>
The last few episodes are not very good. To much back stabbing. The people who have died in the series took away from the cast in a big way. Timing was not good and what about Carl the baby? He seems to be neglected a lot as his father is never around him. It started to go downhill about 2 months ago.
The writers are over extended- they need to wrap this satisfactorily. It had become beyond rediculous . It started well and season 3 onwards was downhill.
I love this show.
It is not as good as it was the first two years as one the main writers and producers left as he wanted to make less shows so the quality could be higher but I still think it is one of the best shows on television
I want another season . Not ready for it to be over. So much more can be written. I love this show.
The show is trash. Emily should be shot. Victoria should move to LA or wake up to find Conrad taking a shower (like Pam and Bobby Ewing). The fat lady sang last year.
Lol trash? First of all that’s such a mean thing to say about this show. Second of all this is my FAVORITE SHOW EVER!!! I love it so much! Such an intricate and fascinating plot paired along with amazing actors and actresses who do an amazing job! The writers are simply FABULOUS!! I love everything about this show and hope it will get a 5th season!
I want another season . Not ready for it to be over. So much more can be written. I love this show.
Definitely time to end. it has lost the excitement, and going on with ridiculous twists and turns, I used to love it, but over it now.
It’s not over till the fat lady sings….
I love this show. Please keep it on.
All and all TV today day is foolish
Sitcoms that are not even funny
Zombie shows, Spacecraft etc.
You probably lost viewers because
It always gets cut for other shows and
that’s a killer.
Please end it. It is painful to watch.
Anne, change the channel, some of us love it.
Lock Victoria up forever. Put Jack and Emily together with a houseful of kids. End it happy. Love the show but loosing its pizazz.
