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?

excellent series. should be renewed. it’s nice to think while watching tv.
Absolutely, Rubicon should be renewed. Everything else is bubble gum.
This is one of the best shows on TV; absoluted want it to be renewed.
Love the show, absolutely have a 2nd season. Katherine doen’s have to be dead. All 4 anylist can stay together. More please.
IMHO This the best new show of the season. I can’t believe the ratings aren’t better. But I’m guessing the rest of the country is keeping up with the goings on at “Jersey Shore” – how depressing but not surprising. I am really hoping AMC has the guts to stick with this show and not dumb down the network.
Great suspense—–keeps you on the edge. Great show. Hope it continues. I did not miss a show from the time it started till it ended. Looking forward to watch more. It keeps you coming back for more. Very well written. Great starring actors.
This is one of my favourites shows! Truxton Spangler deserves an Emmy… Excelent acting, excelent script… I hope AMC decides to keep it going!
Great show. Some say it moves a little slow… but I think that’s what makes it realistic and worth watching. The characters are interesting and very real. Really gives you insight into how complicated the intelligence business is.
Return the series
I have never watched a series of any kind from beginning to end until this one. It has all the elements of great cinema.
Everything else I’ve watched since Rubicon seems trite and shallow. Please give us more of this splendidly acted, intelligently written, and all-around wonderful show. Please, please please!!!!
Best new show of this season by far! Well acted and well written, it managed to completely captivate our entire family ages 16-55
This was the best show of the season, in my opinion . It was smart , had wonderful acting and writing. I will be really upset if it does not return for another season. I do think that it did not get enough media attention to attract the viewers it should have. Too bad
because it is one of the shows that does not insult your intelligence as so many of this
year’s shows did and continue to do.
This is one of the slowest moving shows I have ever seen. The hour goes by with about 5-10 minutes on actual dialogue. Easy to fall asleep to. Actors spend most of their time gazing and thinking and I guess we are supposed to fill in the blanks. Hope it is not renewed.
This has to be one of the best shows on television right now. The dialogue is very well written and the actors carry the story line to a much great depth than was is placed on the scripts. It would be a great shame if AMC cancels this show.
This is truly cerebral TV at its best. I was disappointed in the finale…wanting more closure but it left the door open for a second season. I would love to see it renewed. It is terrific.
