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?
My hubby and I have watched since day one. Why when something so different comes along do you cancel aa awesome show?!! I do agree that it was like watching two different shows: one a great fiction soap – the fight, and one for the sci-fi fans – mind controlling fireflies. Pick one writers…next time around. We will miss you REVOLUTION.
I’ve noticed a plethora of ladies commenting on this.
Love Revolution! This is the one show on NBC that I watch and record. Amazing show that should not be cancelled!
This show is flipping amazing and nbc is stupid to cancel it along with Believe I might add! i don’t even know what to say other than what i already have Revolution is amazing period this is a really bad call! Fools, i just hope that some other more open minded network picks the show up if that’s even possible. I feel like someone just shot my dog!
It gets very tiresome to invest your time watching a show you like when so few make it past the first and second seasons. NBC is, I think, the worst at sticking by their programming. Maybe its time to just stick with premium programming like HBO. They make well crafted shows and play them out!

The cancellation doesn’t surprise me. When it started out, I had high hopes for this show. SCI-FI aspect, 15 years after a power black-out, etc . Intriguing. But it just degraded into a different type of show with waaaaaay too much blood and gore and gratuitous throat slittings, blood, more blood,government plots, etc. It totally lost it’s way. Did I mention how BLOODY it became? Did need to be cancelled but I hope after the Series Finale, they do take just a few episodes (back to the SCI-FI part) to wrap it up properly.
What the heck!? I love Revolution! The need to renew, not cancel!
It makes me mad that some of these intense shows are cancelled but the reality shows keep going. This happened last year. I’m upset that Crisis and Believe are also cancelled. Maybe I just don’t watch NBC as much any more. How do they get the numbers they think show a decline?
I love revolution I think it’s one of the most original in along time, I hope a miracle happens and they renew it
This is a fabulous show. Please, please don’t cancel it.
I guess it is too late now, as the show is cancelled. But thank goodness the writers are writing a final episode, no matter how contrived it will be to resolve the shows issues. I’ll miss you “REVOLUTION”.
Please do not cancel. Love this show!
do not cancel….great show! have watched faithfully since beginning, believe it started on Monday nights, perhaps you should have left it there!
Our family loves this show! Such a great story line!
Don’t cancel this show
