Talk about a letdown. The Rise TV show has been cancelled after just one season on NBC. The high school drama from Jason Katims, who knows a thing or two about shows like that, premiered on the Peacock Network on March 13, of 2018. Ratings for the first two episodes were good enough, but the series just couldn’t sustain its performance in the Nielsens, thereafter.
An NBC musical drama, Rise stars Josh Radnor, Rosie Perez, Auli’i Cravalho, Damon J. Gillespie, Marley Shelton, Rarmian Newton, Ted Sutherland, Amy Forsyth, Casey W. Johnson, Taylor Richardson, Joe Tippett, and Shirley Rumierk. The series centers on Lou Mazzuchelli (Radnor), who is the fictional analogue to Lou Volpe in the Michael Sokolov book, Drama High. Although he is committed to his students at Stanton High School, Lou knows he needs to shake things up, in order to rekindle his passion for teaching. To that end, he petitions to direct the school’s theater program, but soon realizes he signed up for a whole lot more than he originally expected.

What do you think? Did you watch the first season of the Rise TV series on NBC? If it were up to you, would it have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Disgusting! Best new show on TV after Good Doctor snd This is Us
This show was very interesting and entertaining. I always enjoyed to watch it. It informs all ages the real life struggles and challenges that teenagers go through and the acting was terrific. Very disappointed in ABC for not renewing this excellent show.
Another show that’s smart and interesting and needs to be picked up.
I enjoyed Rise very much. It was refreshing to watch a shoe that was not about law, medicine or law enforcement!
I can’t belueve it has been cancelled.
Rise is the best show I’ve watched in a long time. I’m so disappointed NBC decided not to renew. I hope another network picks it up.
So very sorry that RISE was canceled. Great show
Great show. Very unfortunate. Will probably be replaced with another police show.
We love watching this shoaw as a family! Hope another network picks it up!
Super disappointed this show has been cancelled!! I LOVED this show.
This show is so good! I can’t see any reason why it would be cancelled. I truly hope this comes back or another network picks it up.
A shame. Finally some quality tv.
so disappointed that this show has been cancelled..i really enjoyed this season I too hope someone else will pick this up there is great talent out there
This is a great show! I hope some other network picks it up. Go Stanton!!
I love ❤️ this show. So sad it’s not being renewed. Maybe another Network will pick it up.
I thought this show was amazing. The cast is spectacular. I was curious where it would go in season 2. Hoping another network picks it up.
