AMC has decided to cancel Rubicon after one season of 13 episodes.
Billed as a conspiracy thriller, Rubicon is set in a government intelligence agency where nothing is as it seems. The cast includes James Badge Dale, Dallas Roberts, Jessica Collins, Christopher Evan Welch, Lauren Hodges, Arliss Howard, and Miranda Richardson.
The TV show was previewed back in June and attracted a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.07 million viewers. When the series officially kicked off in August, the demo dropped to a 0.3 rating with 1.9 million viewers. The demo dropped to a 0.2 after that and the whole season averaged a 0.3 rating and 1.25 million viewers.
That wasn’t enough for AMC to want a second season and the cable channel has now cancelled the series.
Of the cancellation decision, AMC released the following statement, “Rubicon’ gave us an opportunity to tell a rich and compelling story, and we’re proud of the series. This was not an easy decision, but we are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a phenomenally talented and dedicated team.”
The 13th and final episode of Rubicon aired on October 17th.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that it’s been cancelled? What would you liked to have seen in season two?

No Rubicon- Season Two? What a disappointment! I loved it!
I was extremely disappointed when Rubicon was canceled! I think the show was FANTASTIC!!! I reallllllllly wish it would be brought back.
This was too good to renew, or what? It floors me that a show like this gets one season, but absolute crap gets renewed. And you wonder why our culture is failing…
Sad to see the show go
Loved that show!!!
I always felt TPTB felt it was too close to reality for comfort and told AMC to remove it from their lineup.
Just finished streaming this amazing show. It left me hanging about what happened to characters. I am so so sorry it was not continued. What great characters and it really hits home truths in 2019 with even more politicians making money in treasonous ways.
Great series. Should have continued. It would have picked up steam and been streamed in the future. No guts, no glory!
