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?

Definitely renew this series. Intelligent viewing for adults.
Please give this fine program a chance. The acting and plot very stimulating.
Both my husband and I love Rubicon!!! It is one series that holds our attention every second of the show. Quality TV, such as Rubicon, cannot be compared to much of the mindless, so called “Reality TV” which is called entertainment. Please, renew the series. Perhaps more advertizing will help to increase the number of viewers.
I vote yes to another year. This compared to some of the garbage on TV is a charm.
THIS ISONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV. IT IS A SHOW THAT YOU MUST THINK
AND FOLLOW CLOSELY. IT KEEPS THE MIND WORKING AND IS NOT YOUR RUN OF THE MILL MINDLESS SHOWS.HOPEFULLY ,THE EXECUTIVES THAT ARE INCHARGE OF THE FUNDING FOR THE SHOW ARE TRUE VISONARIES.
Rubicon is simply the best show on TD.
I can accept the ending if the show is being renewed. If not, it was a really crappy way to end a series. I want to see more of Will, Miles, Grant and Kale. But the writer(s) need to satisfy their audience. It isn’t fair to keep us hanging on for 13 hours and give us a “go ahead, nobody will believe you” ending. The cd remaining on the sidewalk was the worst. Oh well, there’s always Mad Men.
Finally, a new show that requires a brain to enjoy! If the network cancels “Rubicon” is just shows that great acting, a fine story, interesting plot twists, and REAL intrigue are all worthless. Yep, what “Rubicon” needs is serious T & A, more chase scenes, and perhaps a “reality” element… maybe we should vote each week to determine which cast members should be killed next? It deserves to return for season 2!
Please renew for 2011. One of the very best TV series ever. Intelligent and totally captivating. Acting is also excellent. A very high quality show. Please renew!
THIS IS A WONDERFUL SHOW – PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL.
RENEW!!! I would like to ask viewers if they have ever watched Spooks/MI 5 produced by the BBC. The series started in 2002 and are now in the 9 season with 76 episodes being aired. This was originally shown on A & E but along the way, dropped it and finally PBS picked it up and is now showing season 5 I believe. Last night’s episode reminded me very much of Dick Cheney’s manipulations during the 90’s to create an situation where we went into Iraq and basically destroyed the country. Traxton Spangler’s acting is outstanding. Looking forward to more… Read more »
Please, Please – renew – Wonderfully acted, thought provoking drama! Love it!
I love Rubicon and I am waiting for Season II – you can’t leave it without knowing what happens and where it goes from the Season Finale of Season I!
Jane
Renew it! I’m addicted.
Please renew “Rubicon” for a second season; the acting has been brilliant, the storyline has been intriguing, and we simply need to know more. You cannot end this series without resolving the mysteries put out in season one. Rubicon is quality viewing – please don’t eliminate a show that engages the mind and heart.
