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?

Rubicon is a great show, if AMC does not renew it they are getting a four-leaf clover
It should be cancelled!!!
ao, get a life or watch Rubicon (like you sad: “it was good and VERY slow, with no happy ending. don’t we already have that in real life?”)
Rubicon MUST return for a second season! This absolutely one of the most intelligent and suspenseful series on TV…
There MUST be a season 2!
Nancy, no – one season of torture is enough!!!!
I love this show. It requires focus and at least a modicum of intelligence which probably means that it will be cancelled in favor of some instant gratification pablum. AMC man up, please.
Thank the heavens – it was good and VERY slow, with no happy ending. don’t we already have that in real life?
great show with exellent cast. I really enjoyed it. But instead i also see that for many viewers this kind of show is too slow and complex in the mainpoints. It’s not about the action or thrill, because many good shows (Firefly, Charly Jade, Pushing Daisies) where cancelled in the last years thats got a lot of it. So please don’t cancel a show that got potential to be so thrilling like breaking bad only because its set to the Sunday night.

MORE RUBICON, AMC! MORE!
RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW!
PLEASE!
NO, NO, NO, absolutely NOT!!!
This is a fantastic and intellectual show with an outstanding cast. It’s also beautifully filmed on location in Manhattan. AMC should definitely renew and do a better job of advertising in order to alert viewers to the Sunday night time slot. James Badge Dale is so likeable as Will Travers!
i didn’t realize that Sunday 10/24 was the season finale. no warning – its over? oh no – i won’t be watching next season.
This is an excellent show. Season 1 ended in a perfect way to lead into a new season. It seems many good shows get cancelled while the rubbish goes on and on!
This started out holding your attention – like the movie 3 days of the Condor, but slow, slow, and they slower with no happy in between. No, its a sleeper.
I agree with Mary, not ao. Why is it that so many TV programs are mindless, action packed, shoot-em-ups, lame sitcoms, and dull game shows and reality TV shows? Perhaps it is because the percentage of Americans who watch Rubicon live much like the characters in the show — sitting through long, dull meetings, working with some co-workers they respect as talented and others they consider to be mediocre, having quiet moments, exploring, researching, and finding answers little by little. Maybe the show is too much of a reflection of the life they already lead. The characters reflect too much… Read more »
A very interesting show and I look forward to the next series, and please advise when the next part might start ??
i think the series is fun, but veryy slow. hope its the only season, as i don’t intend to watch if they continue next year. we already live in an uncertain age, why look at it unfolding before out eyes?
Dave, really?
rubicon is a very clever show that holds your interest. it is GREAT jackson in germantown
I LOVE RUBICON we need to have another season, to resolve all rthe conspiracy. this show is written so well, it diserves another season I know many people that watch it. patti in memphis.
They could have resolved some of the issues. Didn’t Badge’s character see the disk Catherine was holding in her hand? Why did Catherine’s husband send her to the apt.? Too many questions – Please, let’s keep it moving and go back to Criminal Minds where they keep us at the edge of our seats.
Rubicon is a mind bender, unique. BUT, the last episode was disappointing.
This is a very good program and I enjoy it immensely but one needs to recognize that a brain is needed to follow the plot. This leaves out the Nielsens who if they had it their way we’d still be watching, ‘Father knows best”, even though all the original actors have died. Let’s not compare Rubicon with CSI or other mind softening programs either.
agreed. Get rid of it. Its an hour show that lasts for 2. There are other, more interesting shows out there. Many, many more with teeth!!!
Rubicon is the best. It must not end!
