Is it time for Revenge to go? Last season, the ratings for this ABC show continued to fall and there’s been talk that season four will be the end. Will the numbers rise this time around or keep dropping? Cancelled or renewed for season five? Will it get a suitable ending either way? Stay tuned.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
4/29 update: ABC has cancelled Revenge after four seasons on the air.
Final season averages: 1.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.51 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Last year comparison: The third season of Revenge averaged a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.90 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Revenge TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
This show died after Season 2 anyways. I was honestly shocked to see a fourth season. Please ABC quit wasting airtime and end this snooze fest.
Snooze fest?? Wtf!! This is the most dramatic televison show on air!! Renew for season 5!!
It is a snooze fest, the main characters have nothing important to do, no revenge planning/motivation, etc.
I disagree it’s the most dramatic show on televison !!!
The ratings this year, according to the “Cancel/Renew Index” website are miserable.
I see a big finale come May, with Victoria getting killed off (I hope!)
I think the show should stay, and rock the boat for an incredible season five. When the show ends I hope it is on their terms, therefore giving it the grand finale this amazing story deserves!!!!! If only abc didn’t take so many long break between episodes. I mean no new episodes between Jan25 and Mar8?????? WTF!!!!!!!!!!?????????? When shows have this sort of break, viewers may care less to whatever is on during their shows time slot, and flip to a different station. Meanwhile, four weeks into a gripping CBS or nbc, the viewer has forgotten abc’s sexy VanCamp and… Read more »
I think Revenge should be allowed to bow out gracefully!
I think that Revenge can twist it so that Season 5 becomes about takedowns again. If someone kills David Clarke, Emily and Nolan and VICTORIA can get Revenge
Uh no, then you’ll alienate the already declining viewers.
Kill off the S1 characters to give more screen time for the new characters most viewers clearly don’t care about? That’s already not working.
I’m not sure if you understood my statement. I was telling you that a new character this season should be killed off so the old characters can get more Revenge.
And yet you named S1 characters as possible deaths. The only reason Emily’s revenge worked is that there’s actual motivation and planning that went through it before the writers messed that up.
You still don’t understand. I’m suggesting David Clarke, a new season 4 character, is killed so that the remaining season 1 characters, Emily, Nolan, Jack VICTORIA, possibly Charlotte get Revenge for his death. Is that too hard to understand?
It just needs to end period, you have the main characters doing nothing, while the show wastes screen time on the new characters and then you leave us with a useless love triangle between Jack and McBland and some death offscreened because they couldn’t even bothered to care enough to show it on screen.
This show does not need to end. It NEEDS A SEASON 5!!! Best show on televison (despite what people say)
You could say that about just about any show. As for the show itself, it’s beyond tired. Emily and Victoria aren’t doing anything important, same with David Clarke after that pointless Malcolm Black stuff. It’s just pointless drama of new characters while the old ones are constantly sidelined so it’s no wonder many people already bailed.
You’re wrong. Revenge is the best best and most exciting show on television
Which you can say about any show, doesn’t make it any more or less true.
“you’re wrong”, “no, you’re wrong”, etc.
I have loved this show since the beginning and never miss an episode, but the writers took a wrong turn when they brought David back to life. What started out as the most brilliant show on television has turned into something barely believable and mostly regrettable.
Please redeem my fondness of the show with a mind-blowing finale, it’s time to go!
Keep Revenge going but tell the writers to make it more interesting…….It has great potential to get interesting as the beginning was. The writers have to have a little bit more zest behind the script……otherwise let it go on…..
The characters don’t have much to do anymore, there’s no more revenge planning or anything.
It should stay for a next season.Revenge is a state in this serie….everyone has to get a revenge of someone in a different way….And new stories can be added indefinitely but they have to keep the chic atmosphere of the season 1 like they did in the season 4 episode 14.Victoria has to be rich again.And she has to take grayson Manor back!!!!!!And let Conrad return!!!!!!!
Revenge’s premise isn’t built like that, it’s already limited enough which is why it’s already problematic to drag it out this long.
I think Revenge can survive and return for Season 5. Get rid of the stupid useless characters plus David. Victoria needs jail time and Margeaux needs to get off her high horse. Jack should be with Emily but he is too short. Match her with the taller cop. (He and his lovely life need good jobs to take care of the family). Nolan has a nice wife. It is what he needed. Her mother can get back to General Hospital and put the real criminals, Helena and Luke in Pentenville. Revenge has life in it if the writers do not… Read more »
It’s clear that it doesn’t and that’s why they’re wasting so much time on filler and useless character. David Clarke was clearly a desperate ploy that has clearly not worked out at all.
I actually loved the DC storyline but now that his problems are all solved I think he needs to be killed off
Then it’s a complete waste of time, you’ve just wasted yet another half a season at least on top of rebooting the previous seasons.
As for David himself, he’s a bland uninteresting character who never should’ve been brought back in the first place. He went from crazy bum to just another boring character on this series.
The same could be said of this series, nothing of importance is actually happening so we’re stuck with new character drama instead of anything actually relevant to Emily’s revenge which was the whole point most people watched to begin with.
I think David Clarke now needs to be killed off. He did what he needed to do
Complete waste of time tbh.
Will right my comment when a watch season 4 we all no that jack and Emily should be the gither season 2 was watch able on season 3 the now be on 4 soon
I love the show and want and hope theres a 5 th season maybe with Marquexs baby , Nolan and his wife , Charlotte life , or Emily having a baby
The reasons you gave are exactly why Revenge should end. David comes back (Big Mistake-this is when the show started to go downhill). Who does Emily get revengeover now. Conrad killed off (his character had run its course) Daniel killed off (same reason). Writers didn’t know what to do with Charlotte, so they shipped her to a funny farm.
Lets pull the plug on this, ABC.
But first, have a big ending. If nothing else, have Emily/Amanda kill of the Beotch Victoria.
Exactly, this show is supposed to be about revenge, it should not be dragged on this long.
I don’t care if the SL has changed its still an amazing drama which I love! Give us a season 5
Many people do, that’s why they’ve lost interest and the ratings dropped.
Well they shouldn’t have stopped watching because it’s the best show on televison.
So boring baby drama and Charlotte who’s all been since forgotten by the writers since her messy exit? No thank you, most people came here for Emily’s revenge, not this pointless melodrama about nothing.
How is this boring? This is the most dramatic televison show on. Some people say it’s no longer about Revenge but who cares it’s still the best show!! Season 5 please!!
Most of what you listed is boring baby drama, most people were here to watch an actual revenge which is the whole premise of the series to begin with.
Revenge is still full or Revenge however it’s no longer Emily’s vendetta. Still my favorite show. Nothing even comes CLOSE!
“Revenge is still full or Revenge however it’s no longer Emily’s vendetta. Still my favorite show. Nothing even comes CLOSE!”
That’s not revenge, it’s useless family drama and a revolving door of uninteresting new characters fillers.
Let us see all the season of revenge cant leave it without an ending really enjoy watching it
Please end it! It is so stupid. I fast forward the whole thing except for Emily and Jack’s scenes. I could care less about the new characters and I don’t want to get involved in new story lines. When you start killing off the main characters that everyone has followed for three years it has to be the end of the series. What happened to Charlotte? She is an original character and yet replaced by new characters that no one cares about. She didn’t even show up for her brother’s funeral which is so unrealistic! I never understood how Jack… Read more »
It’s getting more and more unrealistic and i will no longer be watching if the series continues. Quit whilst you are behind!
They have totally lost direction as I previously commented. It was bad enough when they started putting in filler like Victoria’s other son, the murder of the fake Amanda Clark, and the kidnapping of Charlotte (who has now been removed from the show). The show seemed like it was getting back on track a little bit and they actually could have concluded it after season 3 ended with Conrad dead and Victoria committed. At that point Emily finally got her revenge. Season 4 is a new show – not Revenge at all. Lets call it “Nolan&Louise” or “Poor Little Lost… Read more »
Revenge was great the fist couple of years.
The show went downhill when David came back. They should have left him dead.
And Emily and Victoria teaming up on occasion? No!
I’m old enough to remember Bonanza.
That show should have stopped right after Dan Blocker died.
Same with The Waltons after Will Geer (Grandpa) passed.
Have a nice ending, but time for Revenge to end
They should end the show. I loved the first season and the second season was good, although not as good as the first. The third season went down. It got too dark and it was a mistake to kill Conrad. Although I love the way how David Clark was discovered to be alive and they made Daniel likable again (although they later killed him off), this season 4 is bad. I knew something went really wrong while I was watching that scene when Charlotte was going to kill herself and coincidentally Jack and his partner barged thru the door to… Read more »
I largely agree with you altthough I thought it was a mistake to bring David Clarke back as this robbed Emily of her focus of taking down the Graysons. The Cop and Elena Satine ( Crazy red head) don’t belong in this. Also, I am no expert on accents but I think Elena’s character is meant to be from Georgia but her accent sounds so fake to me. At the very least she is not consistent when she trys to speak in it. I also hate the way they have turned Margaux into this plotting , schemeing character . It… Read more »
It has, Emily is no longer planning or involved with the revenge anymore, which is the whole point of the series. That’s what she trained under Takeda for, she moved and infiltrated the Hamptons for this, she changed her identity for this, etc. and the writers completely sidelined all of this. It should not be about Margeaux’s possibly evil schemes of Louise’s family melodrama.
Exactly, the new showrunner for the past 2 seasons and the new writers came around the time Revenge started to decline, so it explains a lot. Nolan is sidelined (even more with this marriage) to Louise’s storyline, Malcolm Black is a waste of time and now we have yet another new character being brought in, etc.
