How times have changed. Last year, Revolution looked like it was the big hit of the 2012-13 season. Now, NBC has cancelled it, according to TV Guide.
Revolution revolves around the Matheson family and others who live in a world where there is no longer any power. The cast includes Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Giancarlo Esposito, Zak Orth, David Lyons, JD Pardo, Stephen Collins, and Elizabeth Mitchell.
Following The Voice, Revolution started out very strong last year but the numbers fell as the season progressed. NBC renewed it for a full season off 22 episodes anyway and relocated it to Wednesdays at 8pm. It’s really struggled in that timeslot and this week fell to a 1.2 demo rating with 3.78 million viewers — an all-time low.
Not surprisingly, NBC has decided not to order a third season. There are two installments remaining and they will air on May 14th and May 21st. The final episode of ABC’s Mixology will also air on the latter date.
What do you think? Did you stick with Revoluton? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled the show or renewed it for a third season?
I love Revolution! Anyone else who loves this show, join the Revolution! The revolt is on, and we’re campaigning for Revolution to be picked up by a better, more supportive network who will appreciate Revolution’s millions of dedicated fans! TNT, SyFy, Netflix, Hulu… #RelocateRevolution
We have so many competition/reality type shows any more that this was refreshing, thanks for cancelling something that quite a lot of people I know are watching. It may just need to be put in a better time slot. Well, with not very many choices left, will be watching more movies. Kind of getting tired of all this reality TV…
What a mistake! One of the best, engaging & well acted shows on TV. Please reverse your decision.
Please renew! There is no other shoe like this one on, and it is very good. I wait for it every week!
Please don’t camcel this show! At least offer a big finale to wrap it up. This is terrible news.
I loved this show and am very disappointed that NBC canceled it and never gave it a good time slot and took such a long hiatus that viewers forgot about the story which was complex but very unique, well acted and entertaining. Another bad mistake by the networks that have no clue about programming continuity.
this is a good show. why is it being cancelled? they are going to crush 3 seasons into 2 episodes to wrap it up… so stupid.
NBC news “MSNBS” stinks too ! This and Believe were the ONLY two good shows they had!! And they are replacing it with Reality crap?!? Seriously?! This country is falling apart by the day. Nothing but crap anymore everywhere! Ergh!
Oh I sure hope it gets picked up on another network!!! AWESOME show!!! I liked Believe as well!!! NBC STINKS!!
How can you cancel my favorite show?
Is there any chance another network will take it? I watch on Sky 1 in the uk we love it!!!!
Please change your mind about revolution NBC there are a lot of us in the UK that love the show. We are all gutted that it won’t be renewed!!
