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?

Outstanding show. Got better and better as the season progressed. Couldn’t wait for tonight’s finale, and now I can’t wait for Season Two. Please renew it.
Renew…it’s one of the best shows on TV…storyline, writing, cast are all top notch…this is a class act, how often does that happen?
Bring it back!!!!
Rubicon is one of the most intelligent and exciting shows on TV, after Mad Men, of course. My question is, if I’m DVRing the show, does Neilsen take that into account? I do hope it’s renewed for another season.
Please renew!! My husband and I both love this show. Can’t wait for the next one.
We watch it faithfully every Sunday. It is well written and fascinating. I do hope they will bring it back. It is hard to find a show that equals it in that genre!
Only series to look forward to! It’s a significant story of modern times.
I loved season 1 of Rubicon and hope that they renew for another year.
Personally, I really enjoyed the show. The characters are quirky and the story line draws you into a frightening situation. I hope AMC renews it.
Absolutely Rubicon must return—we love this show
“Rubicon” is a terrific show. Anyone who says it’s slow and has nothing going on is not paying attention. “Rubicon” has *so much* going on and is rewarding in a way that very few shows are these days. So many shows are just empty calories–watch one episode, get your moment’s entertainment, forget about it, and move on to the next thing. “Rubicon” is a steady but very rich diet…if you stick with it, you will not regret the results. AMC’s motto is that “Story matters”. Well, “Rubicon” proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Another season? Hell, I’d love… Read more »
Best show on TV. My sons, aged 32 and 30, were introduced to RUBICON by their parents and are now avid watchers. Please renew for a second season to allow more viewers to come on board!
Best new show of the year. Please renew!
