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?
One of the best shows out there. So, I am surprised that NBC allowed it to make two seasons. They seem to be smart enough to create interesting shows, but horrible at being smart enough to keep them on the air.
Revolution is an excellent show that should NOT have been cancelled! Loved every episode. Because TV now-a-days is pretty much only Reality Shows, Crime Shows, and Contests, I do NOT waste my time watching TV. However, Revolution was a show that had an excellent plot, great characters, and made for a very interesting drama to watch. NBC made a big mistake canceling the show! Hopefully, another network will pick it up!
Loved this show…another good one gone, as usual, leaving reality tv to prosper!

Revolution is one of the most creative, addictive , and best acted shows on T.V. today. Instead of moving it to a more attractive time slot NBC would rather cancel it. Well, Why not !!!! Now you have room for another Brainless reality show . Amazing how trash like the Bachelor and Bachelorette get great time slots.
My wife and I really enjoyed watching this show. We are really bummed that they cancelled it. We really hope that NBC would have a change of heart and give it another chance. If they won’t maybe another network can pick it up.
I have watched this show but because of Wednesday night commitments I had to watch it on hulu along with my daughter….Wednesday night is what hurt this show….A lot of activities with church and clubs are on Wednesday night.
Thanks for nothing, You think you know what viewers around the world want’ Well your very wrong, I have put all of my time into both series of Revolution, only for the management of NBC to shaft me and other viewers by canceling this show without warning. For what it is worth i would turn the lights off and give your Broadcasting licence back, unless you are prepared to see a series to its final conclusion then you should not commission it to begin with.
I can not believe that NBC cancelled Revolution…. my friends and I have watched this show from the beginning and I belong to a group of people across the states who discuss, debate and enjoy talking/watching this show…. NBC made a big mistake in cancelling it… they haven’t had much luck in giving good shows to watch and for them to remove this shows that those who make those decisions are inept…. I hope that another network picks up Revolution… there are a lot of fans that watch this… their rating system is stupid because it doesn’t represent the majority… Read more »
Very disappointed about the cancellation of Revolution!
Would really like the show to continue!
No way! Best show on the air! Something different than cops & doctors. NBC please bring it back!
Theres absolutely no way this show should be cancelled. Especially when it just started to get really clever with the nano and how its taken over and what it can do. Im so frustrated that I spend years watching a show to have it get cancelled before its time.
I am heartbroken to learn this is being cancelled and disagree that it is poorly written. I watched the first season on Netflix and the second on Amazon Prime, and perhaps it was watching them in such rapid succession, but I thought both seasons flowed well and were exceptionally well written! Please don’t cancel this show!
I have watched this show from the first episode and it has been my favorite TV show. It makes you think and that is not a popular concept with the Networks. Moving it to Wednesdays was really bad for the show. I normally watch in on demand because of that move. It seems like NBC was setting it up to lose viewers and there by justifying cancelling it.
Wow I didnt even know it was on the chopping block to be canceled. This is horrible. i really though it was a great season too. Someone needs to pick this show up for a third season. It can’t all end on May 21st!
