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?

I can’t understand how a show like that, has not good ratings… 🙁
It’s my favorite show for the moment!
good show. canceling it after the first season would be such a disservice to quality television. it’s not the shows fault that its viewers are an idiot demographic. arrested development comes to mind. they got 3 seasons out of it purely on it’s quality with almost no viewership. hope it gets renewed.
Love the show! Please bring it back. Finally something that makes you think again.
please bring back for Season 2. great show–and would like to see continued and continued open matters within Season 1 further developed. Really excellent season #1.
It will be a tragedy if such a great show is not brought back for another season!
Most definitely please bring Rubicon back! Finally,Sunday nights were the best,Rubicon,then Mad Men. You can’t leave us hanging by not revealing the “mole”,even though we THINK we know.
Amazing acting, writing that makes you think!!!!!!!! Please bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please bring Rubicon back! It’s a great show my husband and I crave!
My favorite show, I hope it continues.
I DO hope Rubicon will be renewed! Fast paced action scenes or a shallow splashy plot is not the only way to build a good TV series, and the popularity of a show is hardly an indicator of quality. Like a good book, the stage must be carefully set, then add interesting characters who grow in complexity each episode. Intelligent TV is too scarce and there are still people with brains hoping for quality programming. Let the greedy advertisers sell toilet paper on American Idle. Give me the likes of Rubicon.
Please bring back the best show on TV! How may we watch all the episodes again?
best show on tv bring it back!!!!
Oh, Hell yeah. Definately another season. Puts Madmen to shame. Finally a cerebral series!
Excellence achieved… please bring back the cast and the series…
Great show! Can’t wait for next season, when will it air?
