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?
please keep Revenge on for another season. I enjoy watching a interesting night soap.
Revenge is my favorite show – Give it a PERMANENT DAY and TIME and NO start stop crap and the SHOW is AWESOME. If I know EVERY Wednesday at 9:00 pm its on I am their my friends my family JUST GIVE IT its own day and time without interruption.
The show has a great storyline and totally awesome intrigue, Its got what it takes. BEST SHOW ON TV!!!!!!!
No please don’t cancel it I love this show so much
Revenge is like The best show now days all my friends watch revenge all my teachers watch revenge my family everyone watches revenge please don’t cancel the show
We PVR the show….can’t miss an episode. Best show in years. Scheduling sucks…we thought the finale was weeks ago b/c it wasn’t aired for so long. Ratings are down b/c the show is on for a couple weeks, then off.
My mother and I started watching this show together since episode 1 and we are addicted! We have a revenge night every week and watch it ON DEMAND. We were disappointed during season 2 how t was on a couple of times and then would go off for weeks. It’s not the show that has the caused any low ratings, it’s the fact that it had so many off weeks. Just watched seaon 2 finale and it was AWSOME!!! Best cliff hanger ever after Emily told Jack her real identity. Can’t wait to Season 3.
I love this show dont cancel it I want to see the real Amanda marrying Jack ♥
I LOVE Revenge, It’s amazing. I think the reason why the ratings are fluctuating, is because It constantly starts up again for 2/3 episodes, and then goes off for a month, then starts up again & off. I think It will work better starting a little later, and having a little longer mid- season break, so there won’t be so many breaks between multiple sets of episodes! ( Scheduling needs improving)
Revenge is unlike other shows in that it covers a broad spectrum of ideas making the intrigue more palatable .
I love, love, love this show. Always has twists and turns. One of those shows, that you have to follow from the beginning. Love the characters. Also hate that they moved it around. Loved it on Wednesday night. HOWEVER, DON’T CHANGE AGAIN. Please renew.
I couldn’t care less for this show, I could barely keep interested in it.
Is it that you could care less about the show because it was on again off again and in doing so was almost impossible to get follow the show because their were/are so many facets to keep up with.
OR you REALLY watched the show and didn’t care for it?
Personally every show left me on the edge & waiting hysterically for the next show… but MANY & I MEAN MANY times it wouldn’t be on it would be another week then 2 weeks then a month then 3 weeks that I would literally WANT to quit watching!
Please don’t take revenge off! I absolutley love this show!
I think season 2 had too many reruns! I think that is why
The ratings are down. I am a dedicated viewer and would
Be terribly upset if it is cancelled!
I love love love Revenge:) It’s probably my favorite show. And that’s hard for me to say bc I like so many. But Revenge is AWESOME. I will say though, I agree with a lot of other people in the fact that S2 is not as good as S1 bc they dropped the S1 format. I don’t like that they did that, but I still love the show. Also, [SPOILER ALERT] I can’t believe one of the original 9 will be killed off during the finale. I don’t wanna lose any of them, but if I have too, I’d be… Read more »
Please don’t cancel Revenge!!! The revenge is NOT DONE YET how could you CANCEL a REVENGE??
Revenge was GREAT season one. The winning format was abandoned and now it is disappointing. If Revenge is canceled I would not be surprised. Hope to see Emily VanCamp get great roles in the future.
