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?
Leave it on I love the show
put it to rest, same crappy storylines, every week they get captured and almost killed and get out and start again…… Jericho along these same lines was a FAR superior show and premise and couldn’t stay afloat – how could this?? I’m wondering how it got this far. I cut it off a third way through season 2 – I just can’t waste my time any more….
I would like better scripting. Tired of the slow plot. The short screenplays of find it-bloodbath-build up to next week, do not support the more interesting story arc
Please keep it. The show is fun
Will be devestated if it doesn’t come back for a 3rd season. One of the best shows on television!
Kripke finished the series plot “to discovery what happened to the electricity and turn it back on”. He had no idea what to do with season two, and it shows, as he has tried to move it from a serial, to more of a procedural show. Caught between the two it just flounders, losing more viewers every week. Added to that are the four plot holes per episode (on average), some of which are show-stoppingly bad (nanites can code for sentience but cannot fix a logic error?!?), and you get one cancelled show. Think of it this way: Since the… Read more »
I really would love to see this show renewed…there are only 3 shows on this season on NBC I like and this is one of them…NBC keeps cancelling the shows I love I’m going to drop NBC like a bad habit.
Absolutely love this show!! I am so tired of reality TV shows, which I do not watch and other garbage that’s been on TV, it’s nice to have a show that doesn’t have to do with law,
crime. I am enjoying the story line and want to see where it’s going. PLEASE, PLEASE
DO NOT CANCEL!!!
i totally agree!!!!!please don’t cancel the show!!!!!!!
Don’t cancel!! Love this show!
Me and a few co-workers can’t ever wait for Wednesdays. We love this show. Please please don’t cancel.
Revolution is my FAVORITE show on television! The writing and character development are excellent. I especially enjoy how the subplots are interwoven! The acting by all of the actors is off the chart great! Giancarlo Esposito is so good as Neville and he just oozes evil! Billy Burke and David Lyons are so good as Miles & Monroe. And, Tracy Spiridakos plays the badass girl, Charlie, so well! I know the ratings have slipped a little this season but there is a dedicated following that I hope you don’t let down by canceling the show. I wouldn’t know what to… Read more »
I love this show!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t cancel it!!!!!!!!!!!! While it may seem hokey to some, the character development has been stellar. I find myself loving Munroe, who is a really bad guy, but the writers have given him some redemption and the interplay between him and Miles is comical, yet believable. The second season has far surpassed the first and I blame NBC for moving it to Wednesdays at 8 PM, up against strong competition- Survivor- which has been a staple for many households since its inception. It saddens me that it may be cancelled. Please, NBC, give it another year… Read more »
I would like to see how this story plays out.
Love this show! One of 3 I don’t miss, and will watch over and over! Love the complexities of the characters, how they interact and evolve.
one of my favorites!!
