Last season, Revolution was the highest-rated show on NBC but the ratings fell throughout the season, even with The Voice as a lead-in. What will happen now that the show’s been moved to Wednesdays? Will it see a third season or will it be cancelled instead? We’ll have to wait and see.
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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/9 update: NBC has cancelled Revolution after two seasons and 44 episodes.
5/22 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The first season of Revolution averaged a 2.6 rating in the demo and 7.21 million viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Revolution TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for third season?
I really enjoy Revolution, and I so hope that it’s renewed. I know that the final decision probably won’t be made until late this month or next, so I’m hoping for the best. I agree with the other comments about scheduling. I don’t understand why they didn’t film enough episodes to last until the end of the season. Seriously devoted fans will keep tuning in, but others could easily give up on it when it’s not on for weeks in a row.
We love revolution and would be crushed to see it cancelled. The entire concept has been great and the acting cannot be beaten and even with the violence I can’t wait to see more. I do hope to see the nano thing get a resolution that allows the people to take center stage.
We love Revolution! Record it even while watching, in case we get called away, we won’t miss a second! Hope it gets renewed. I realized tonight that Revolution is a cross between the old Wild West shows of the 70’s and a science fiction show of today. Those nanos are creepy things. Cool show all around! Just an FYI that we don’t watch much else on NBC, and I can’t even believe that intelligent people actually watch The Voice. Seriously, you want continous viewers, keep a continous schedule. Fans try to keep up, but an obstacle course of a schedule… Read more »
My wife and I enjoy this show! It shouldn’t be cancelled…I am sure there are many worked with twists and turns that can be told out of this storyline!!!!!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW & BILLY BURKE.
Pleeeaasseee renew pleeaassee renew pleeaassee, pleeaassee, pleeaassee, pleeaassee
Revolution is currently our favorite show. It’s intriguing and makes one think. What’s hurt it the most lately are the annoying gaps in its airing schedule. Please bring it back. NBC has a gem here.
I totally agree! I need my Revolution fix each week! Pleeeaasseee renew NBC!!!!!!!
Revolution is an amazing show–by far the best thing NBC has going for it. When you look at the gaps in the air dates, and how sporadic it has been, it’s not hard to see why ratings might fall, ESPECIALLY when you put it up against Survivor and American Idol. It’s a tough timeslot and Revolution is NOT as well promoted. I get comments and questions all the time about, “when is it even ON?” NBC–you don’t have a lot going for you these days, and you keep canceling things that could be amazing. Revolution is the ONLY show I… Read more »
Please don’t cancel ~ only watch two shows on NBC. Revolution & Believe. I can only watch these shows on On Demand. So there may be many viewers out there watching later from DVR’s & On Demand.
Nbc = Comcast. The dumbest, most mismanaged company in the US
Why would NBC cancel a show like Revolution? There is not much good TV these days, please don’t cancel this show!
I am asking NBC to keep me as a viewer by renewing Revolution. It is one of the best shows on and I think it deserves a chance. The ratings may be lower than the target number but let’s think……does NBC want to lose all of us who are fans?
This show is the only thing on NBC that is worth watching
I love this show and believe it still has enough potential to run for a full 5 seasons. Please renew it NBC or at least give it to another network that will. Had NBC allowed Revolution to run to the same weekly schedule, it would have guaranteed far higher ratings, and removed any speculation concerning whether it would be renewed !
