It looked like Revenge might be cancelled due to mediocre ratings last May. ABC gave the TV series a renewal instead, likely in part because the network’s other new dramas didn’t perform as well. Will Revenge’s ratings fall lower this season or will this nighttime soap’s numbers rise instead?
The second season of Revenge typically airs Sunday nights on ABC. The network has ordered 22 episodes. The cast includes Emily VanCamp, Madeleine Stowe, Henry Czerny, Joshua Bowman, Christa B. Allen, Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Connor Paolo, and Ashley Madekwe.
Here are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if Revenge is going to be cancelled or renewed for season three.

Year-to-year, the season debut of Revenge was down slightly from the series premiere, by 3% in the demo (vs a 3.3 rating) and down by 3% in viewership (vs 10.02 million). These were the highest numbers since last year’s premiere. A very positive start.
Reference point: The 2011-12 season averaged a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.82 million viewers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. 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 third season?
[…] Revenge dropped to a 2.2 demo rating (-12% change) with 6.8 million. And 666 Park Avenue held steady with a 1.2 rating and just under 4.0 million viewers. […]
I totally love this show, hoping for more seasons to come !
Love this show! Can’t wait for Sunday nights!

“Revenge” is one of the best shows on television right now! I never miss an episode!
I really liked the show last year, but it isn’t doing anything for me this year. Where’s the revenge? It seems more like a free for all with no real direction. In my opinion the last episode was a waste of an hour.
I love this show. There is always a new twist. There are some things such as Victoria and her scheming that are getting old but overall I think it’s a great show.
Im not like this season. Last one she was taking people out left and right. It was great! Now it is getting complicated and slow and soapy. Now she answers to somebody else and I dont like it. Not sure if I will continue whole rest of season.
i really want it to stay but i wouldn’t want it to be exentended to like 8 seasons with no near ending. i want revenge to have a few seasons with a reasonable ending
[…] alphabet network puts a positive spin on last night’s ratings, with a particular emphasis on Revenge, Once Upon a Time, and 666 Park Avenue. ABC is Up on Sunday Year to Year for the 3rd Straight […]
TV series should never last more than one season (possibly two). It’s near impossible to sustain a show. Revenge is a perfect example. It’s already working too hard for nothing.
please do not cancel revenge my fav show
I enjoyed season one, but don’t have as good a feel for this season yet
The Good Wife should also be kept on
I think it should continue
