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?
So depressing that NBC cancels my favorite show. My husband and I watch it religiously and may have to start our own Revolution unless this show is renewed!!! NBC = Not very Bright Critics? It was the only GOOD series on that network.
I stuck with REVOLUTION because I liked the plan and ending it like this isn’t right, bring it back.
I really enjoyed this show. I am not happy that it has been cancelled. It really sucks. I hope another station picks it up
I agree, I love the show and I’m so sad to see it end! I didn’t find out about it until I was bored watching Netflix. Once I did I was hooked and have been since! Please bring it back… even another network would be okay. The cast is amazing! The time slot was just bad. It’s a shame to see such a great show end so soon. We weren’t even able to witness the lights being turned on for good!
Unbelievable NBC
I loved the 1st season this show did have the potential to be big, but I have to say someone did drop the ball on the 2nd season, there was definetly something missing, the storylines were not cohesive enough, everyone doing their own thing but i stuck it out. I think that the network needs to re-vamp the show compare the 2 seasons and get back to what was working then bring the show back.
I really liked it. Another interesting NBC show I really the past several years that was cancelled without warning. NBC messes up again. I would love if another network would pick it up. A look at the future that could very well happen. In the words of Agent Rossi of Criminal Minds , “progress was a good thing…it just went on for too long”. The theme of this show embodiedthat that quote.
I can’t believe my favorite show has been cancelled. Honestly it didn’t end well either. It left us hanging in suspense. Please Syfy pick up the series an try it. There is so much more story potential & I enjoyed the plot. Please don’t disappoint us again (canceling Heroes way back).
It’s completely bogus for a network to cancel a show on a whim like that. I loved the show and to have the 2nd season end like that and not pick up a 3rd is an insult to the loyal fans. NBC is always doing crap like this. A shows ratings aren’t doing as good as theu projected so they just discard it. I would like to boycott NBC for this blatant disregard for their viewers. I suggest anyone who feels the same as me to not watch NBC until they apologize to us the viewers and pick revolution up… Read more »

I can not believe they are canceling Revolution! This is my favorite show!!! I wish NBC would reconsider! Please!
My husband and I never missed an episode! We were sorry to hear it’s been cancelled. Please bring Revolution back!!
Revolution was freakin AWESOME. My family & I watched every episode. Even when its time slot switched to 7pm cst we DVR’d them & watched once family was home. NBC; What are you thinking this show rocks PPUT IT BACK IN YOUR LINEUP FOR FALL. Its fan base is HUGE it just needs to be on later in the nite when families are home from work or soccer practice or what have you. If NBC is to thickheaded to rethink giving Revolution a season 3 some other Network should jump on this one. If any other network picked up series… Read more »
