The AMC series has not been performing well in the ratings but, according to a listing in the Backstage industry casting paper, Rubicon has been renewed for year two. Here’s their info:
Rubicon (Drama, AMC) A think-tank analyst comes to the realization that his colleagues are not who he thought they were and may be a part of a covert organization secretly manipulating world politics and affairs. James Badge Dale stars. Casting: Avy Kaufman Casting, 180 Varick St., 16th Fl., New York, NY 10014. Premiered Aug. 1. Renewed.
Last Sunday’s episode attracted just a 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 997,000 total viewers. That pales when compared to AMC’s Mad Men which scored a 0.6 demo rating and 2.1 million viewers.
The Backstage listing seems like it’s most likely a typo or error because, for now, they seem to be the only one saying there will be another year.
The season finale of Rubicon, “You Can Never Win,” is set to air next Sunday on AMC.
What do you think? Would you like to see Rubicon return for another year or should it be cancelled?

It is great should renew for another season!
Best show this fall — a thinking show. I want a season two.
Rubicon is a marvelous show. It reminds me a lot of “Smiley’s People” and “Tinker, Tailor” with Alec Guinness. It is so well written and acted! It would be a shame to tank it. PLEASE renew it.
Everyone appreciates and enjoys great writing and Rubicon has it. The cast is quite good and perfect for the storyline. Each week at the end of the episode the viewer is tries to formulate what ifs and what abouts. The program is anchored with a conspiracy plot with intertwined subplots spiced with a devilish seasoning of human character flaws. You do not see that often with commercial television and that is why I love it. I do not often watch TV unless the story is well written. For me it would be a tragedy if this show falls through the… Read more »
Love this show!!!! Please renew.
YES… ABSOLUTELY BRING IT BACK…. ONE OF THE SMARTEST SHOWS ON TV TODAY! THERE ARE SO MANY MORE QUESTIONS THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ANSWERED IN SEASON 2; ALSO, CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW THE FINALE ENDING IMPACTS THESE CHARACTERS THAT I REALLY WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH!!!
PLEASE, AMC, RESPECT YOUR TAG LINE OF “STORY MATTERS HERE” AND KEEP TELLING THE RUBICON STORY!!!!
I don’t watch any regular network TV anymore. I really haven’t for a long time. It’ s poorly written and stars people who can’t act. I despise reality TV. I watch PBS, news, sports and some movies. I watched Pacific and thought James B. Dale was very good. So, when I read that he was in a new series, I decided to check it out although I didn’t get started until episode 3. Rubicon is both compelling and frustrating … Frustrating because I wanted answers and they were not easy to get. But I kept watching and looked forward to… Read more »
I really love this show. I just watched the Season/Finale and they wrapped things up so much that I fear there won’t be a second season. But, I really hope there will be.

It definitely must return!!!
Rubicon is, without question, the best show on television. Unique and interesting characters, great mystery for a storyline, talented actors–including the most appealing leading man in a long time. Appealing because he is smart as a whip, but real–not overblown, not an arrogant jerk. Can see many possibilities for new storylines for the team ahead. Love the clues, the puzzles, the ciphers and the thinking that goes into this show. The fan base is building. We need another season.
I absolutely LOVE this series. It is a thinking person’s show that rewards the viewer with great storylines and greater acting. I think it is a crime that crap like “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and “Real Housewives of Your City’s Name Here” can last for season after season, yet this show will most likely not get renewed for a second season. I also think it is a shame that every other series on AMC does well enough in the ratings, but not this one. Even their new series “Walking Dead” is getting buzz and not one episode has aired.… Read more »
Must renew! Few shows captivate as much as Rubicon. Great character development, and no fear of changing characters. You cannot feel safe that the plot will end as you wish, nor that a given character will live (literally) into the next episode. I enjoy other shows, but most are predictable. The can be enjoyable and get my full support even though they are predictable and generally follow the boilerplate success plotlines.
But Rubicon sets no boundaries. I greatly anticipate a new season, and hope the writing can continue to hit the high bar it has set. Excellent Show.
Bring it back!! This is my favorite show!!
Please renew, best show on TV.
Please it On. Great show. Smart
