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.

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 am sorry to say “Enough” It has gotten stupid. How do they walk to Vegas from DC in one day?? How long to wait to attack the city?? Miles kills 6 men with HORSES and next scene He is walking thru the woods with hand gun and sword dying??? They cannot ride horses?? Or a least collect the guns??? THEY ARE THE WORST FIGHTERS EVER?? I do not think the writers thought they would make it thru the first year?? TO BAD, IT GOT STUPID,
Really???? They are cancelling Revolution?? This is BY FAR THE BEST SHOW IN TELEVISION in years. NBC will certainly lose a viewer here.
Ridiculous programming idiots!!!
I never missed Revolution. It seem crazy for NBC to cancel it. Great show.
The brass at NBC should be fired. The running joke at our house was guess whats not on? It is hard to follow a story when it is never on. ridiculous
Revolution is the BEST show on t.v. I will not watch NBC anymore if this show doesn’t come on. PERIOD. WHO CARES ABOUT A STUPID SINGING SHOW?? It’s nothing compared to a show with a great story line!
don’t cancel this show … we love it
cancel reality shows they are trash
Please do NOT take this show off the air. I am so tired of quality shows getting axed while you guys leave the crap on because watching people be mean to each other draws a larger crowd. As others have stated, leave it where it can be found and people will watch. If I see one more wackadoo chef, celebrity wife swap or morons stranded on some island commercials, I’m putting a bullet in my head. Show some gumption and give the show a shot.
Revolution is an Awesome show please do not cancel it. This is a show that gives you what u want, excitement and leaving you wanting more and having to wait until the next episode. Give shows a chance to grow, with so many shows getting cancelled and new shows coming out it doesn’t give the viewers time to decide and changing days and times makes it hard too. This show has Great energy and love all the actors I have been watching this show since the beginning! Truly Awesome.
The BBC tried to cancel Ripper Street in the UK – we won it back with a well supported campaign. I enjoy Revolution and think that it is a refreshing change from much of the dross. Also, if they can justify keeping Parks and Recreation, for example, with only 2.94 mill viewers, then why cancel revolution? It can’t just end – there are too many plot lines open. #saverevolution
Revolution has a loyal following. And it was good. Rosemarys Baby….forget it. Won’t waste my time. Was much better than Grimm. But I follow it.
The shows schedule without a doubt is the biggest factor for lower ratings. I watched from the first week but it was frustrating and hard to follow because of the gaps during the season. I had a hard time finding it. I watch very little network TV anymore except for Revolution and a few other shows. I think you need to find a good time slot and leave it there, and don’t split up the seasons. During its hiatus, I would replay it weekly, on a regular schedule, from the first show to pick up the viewers you lost, and… Read more »
do not cancel revolution is a superior show yes charlie is a little annoying but the rest of the cast is good and the writing is great
I love this show and have watched since it began. Keep the show or hopefully another network will pick it up. I hate it when there is no show ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Warner Brothers can try to find a new home for Suburgatory, they can certainly try to find one for Revolution. It is such a lot better show. Revolution has a huge following that NBC is too blind or stupid to see. I know Warner knows how good it is. Right?
My husband & I have been faithfully watching Revolution since the beginning. (Even with all the breaks and schedule changes.) As someone mentioned in a previous comment, we rarely watch many dramas anymore on television because we are inundated with ridiculous reality shows. Please let the faithful viewers have something to look forward to each week. Have some dignity. Don’t lower your standards by canceling a good drama, and replacing Revolution with a reality show. Let Revolution run a third season, but keep on a regular schedule.
The schedule changes are what got me, and I am positive it affected their ratings. I know quite a few people who were watching… I love the show so this is very frustrating.
Please don’t cancel Revolution. We finally had a show that kept the viewers wanting more. Now you cancel it? Please no more bad decisions. We have so much drivel on TV these days and there does not seem to be many shows that challenge the intellectual in all of us. Reality shows are all a bunch of S&$#. Why not cancel shows that deserve to be canceled? Revolution is NOT one of them!!
