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’s been a really long time since we have so eagerly anticipated the airing of a show each week, followed by so much pondering and discussion. We LOVE this show. It hasn’t always been the most fast-paced, but that’s why we like it. We went cold turkey on police/law/medical dramas awhile back – so weary of the same formula over and over. Haven’t missed them a bit, although we’ll be seriously disappointed if Rubicon is not renewed. There is truly nothing like it out there! It’s superbly acted, well-paced, extremely smart, and a breath of fresh air in the drama… Read more »
go on.
We love rubicon. Another season please
Absolutely!!!!!Rubicon, then Mad Men, what a Sunday night!!
Most definitely,please return ‘Rubicon”. I rate this show right up there with Mad Men. I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching the season finale, just waiting for the “mole” to be revealed. We think we know, but please don’t do this to us. We want more!!!!
Very enjoyable. Same genre as MI 5 and George Smiley. Please continue.
Rubicon mustbe renewed!! Terrificly intense, thought-provoking television.. All three in our household love it.
DEFINITELY another season!! The series was slow getting started, but then it just got better and better. Season 2, please!
go on
Great, great show. The writers don’t treat you like an idiot, like so many shows. Show has a great pace.
Very tense and hypnotic from day one. If you stuck with it, you saw one of the smartest and most thoughtful paranoid dramas since the Warren Beatty film, The Parallax View. Downbeat and not hopeful, unlike today`s spy thrillers. A great cast, minimal but necessary violence made Rubicon a standout. Despite a great final episode that could end the series on a high note, a second season is needed.
I usually get into shows too late or not at all. This one bucked that trend. Got me from the get-go. Great show, great characters development and fantastic ability to crank it up plot-wise. I can’t wait to get the backstory of Sledgehammer…..nice. C’mon AMC!
Best show going. Give us more, AMC!
It’s an amazing show. Well written and poetically performed. If it doesn’t return it will be heartbreaking!
I love rubicon. My sister and I would always be stoked for Sundays. Dont cancel Rubicon!!
