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?

Please renew. It’s one of the smartest shows on TV.
The scene at the Bethesda Fountain in the Season Finale was so breathtaking and had such a huge payoff that it was almost impossible to believe that it was only 13 episodes in the making.
Mad Men is a brilliant show (and my favorite single show on TV), but it’s in its 4th season, and the Bethesda Fountain scene in Rubicon was on par with almost any character-chemistry/history pay-offs in Season 4 Mad Men.
Truly a fine TV show.
It needs to be renewed. You can’t leave it hanging.
Rubicon should absolutely be renewed!!!!
Im 15 years old and i loved the show. I was soo pissed when i heard that the season finale was already here. You cant leave a show where rubicin was left. There were so many more questions that need to be answered. James badge dale is such a great actor. He was in the pacific wich was awsome. The show must go on!
What fans from Albany said – Rubicon has strong acting and a great story. Good for another season. Holding my breath.
Please renew Rubicon. We have been rivited to the show all season. We watch it in real time and I record it to rewatch again during the week to catch any nuances that I might have missed. Please dont cancel one of the best shows on the tv.
long live the rubicon
Rubicon has just about filled the void of West Wing in terms of intelligent TV. Renewing it for a second season shouldn’t be a question.
A cerebral ’24’ – gotta have it!!
I love this show! Please renew!
I love Rubicon and would to see this series continue……Thanks.
This show deserves another season. Viewers nowadays are not used to slow developing series. That’s too bad. Rubicon became a must-see for our house, and I will be very disappointed if it does not get another season.
This is my 2nd favorite show of the year after Mad Men. PLEASE RENEW IT!
Its also one of my favorite shows ever. The acting is superb.

I extremely enjoy shows that challenge the mind , that has great wrting and engaging actors that bring out great characters.
Renew! Renew! Renew! This is one of the brightest new shows to come down a dismal pike in years. Let’s keep a small niche of intelligent, suspenseful programming.
