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?
Watched every episode; loved it. Could they have had the decency to end the show instead of leaving us hanging? ABC’s The Last Resort ended with a suitable finale. Or maybe it was cancelled because it was hitting too close to home.
LOVE this show!! Have watched from beginning…very upset its cancelled! Love the characters and concept of no power BC I can easily see this happening! If NBC truly cancels, hope its relocated! I watch it on Hulu plus BC I don’t have cable.
Unreal, we watched this show religiously. I can’t believe it is canceled. Please bring it back…
Why? What research did you do- That made this happen?? The issue was the time slot! Not the show!! Really- You Guys!
I have been an avid fan of Revolution right from the get-go! It has all the elements of great TV; action, drama, thrills, spills, love, what MORE does a show need? PLEASE….renew for a third season and bring it to some sort of conclusion……even a minimal run of, say, 10 episodes – tightly focussed on wrapping things up, would make the show an EVENT, not just another series! Don’t you get it, NBC? How can a series be on top of the charts one moment and then get dropped? There’s a LOYAL fanbase out in the world OUTSIDE of the… Read more »
Can’t help but wonder if they sped up the transition of the main character from a goodie-two shoes into a bad-ass that the ratings wouldn’t have dropped so much. In fact, that would be my gripe with this series; it was so frustrating seeing so many overly “good guy” characters getting their way when realistically most people under survival conditions would have been a little less moral.
Why would they cancel on of the greatest shows of this time, is it to make room for the ridiculous reality shows? I think since NBC cancelled the show, another TV network HAS TO pick it up
At least give us a ending I mean all those people walking in the streets and lights turning on you should of left that out if you were just going to cancel now we all will bewondering what happen jeez
What the hell is wrong with these networks! They start these shows they get a some what fan base for the show then the ratings drop the show gets dropped . What about the loyal fan of the show. They are just left hanging with no conclusion to the show . The networks did this to the tv show, Jericho, you see them get on a plane that’s it THE END. , The tv show Alcatraz , You were just starting to figure out what was happening THE END. That’s like picking up a book and read 2/3 rds.of it… Read more »
To R Clapp Jr… Good points… I had forgotten how much I was disappointed at losing Jericho… I try not to get angry and will watch what I like on each network and hope that another network picks it up the good stuff that NBC, CBS or FOX (etal) tosses aside. I still watch my burned to DVD copies of Joyce and Pizza man on Hill Street Blues and the same with NYPD Blues and LA Law to name a few… all of which ran their course appropriately…. copied from my VCR Tapes and burned to DVDs… China Beach went… Read more »
I have watched this show from the begin,and I lov e it,please don’t take it away from use,
I think this stinks cancelling our show. I love that show have not missed one of its movies right from the start. You leave us with a cliff hanger and it is not returning. Why is it that every show I love it seems to be canceled all the time. I for one want that show back on the air. I love the cast they are so awesome…. I don’t want it to end not like this finish it to the end of what would have been the shows either getting back to life as it was or starting a… Read more »
Cannot believe that they are not making a series 3 they cannot leave it the way they have !!!
Hi,
If I ran the network I would most definitely renewed Revolution series for a third season.
Hope that network can reconsider their decision.

love this show …its the only show I would sit down to watch during the week except for Big Bang… so sad…PLEASE bring it back!!!
Could they at least sell it or move it to another network like the Sci Fi channel?
This is the best show I’ve seen in a long time. Do what you can to keep it going.
What is it we as viewers can possibly do, they don’t care about a chunk of people, they want money and this show, as great as it is, just doesn’t cut it.
