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?

This is THE BEST show on tv right now. Screw the ratings, this show has to go another season
I loved Rubicon, almost makes me not want to watch a series, love it, then be disappointed when its cancelled.
Rubicon was the best new show of last season. it is a shame it is not renewed. I still believe if AMC showed the first season over again this winter starting the night of the SuperBowl at 10PM EST it would be a hit and renewed. Just a good sow. No glitz which made it very interesting.
This was a great show, For it to be canceled would be a shame. Today’s ratings are people wanting to see realtity tv and all that crap when the great shows are the ones writen with actual content, thought and gteat storylines, & Imagine. It is a shame that so many great TV series have been canceled because not enought people have watched it, because it was either aired when some sort of reality TV of mindless series is on at the same time when people turn to those shows instead. We need more original shows like this to continue… Read more »

Please rfirst season should be reun so others can catch up.enew rubicon . like this a lot and the
This is one of the few good TV shows. It is bright and engaging, well produced, and well acted. Even compelling. Thanks for doing it. I hope you come back.
I LOVE that show!! so do my parents and friends. It can not be cancelled. There is much still to take place. It is just getting good!!!
Somebody pick up Rubicon. It is (was?) great!
HORRIBLE…one of if not my favorite show of 2010…I waited paitiently after seeign the 1st encore episode wondering where this show was going to take me & it proved to be a well written show. The man that plays Will Travers is a very good actor. I loved this show. AMC you should only be so lucky to have such good writers/cast. It was perfect for AMC…you guys didnt give it a chance….damn!!! and I just deleted all episodes from my DVR..thanks AMC..but you will keep that horrible Walking Dead nonsense on huh?? Finally a mind challenging show and now… Read more »
I myself like “The Walking Dead” It is a great comic and a lengendary series, but Rubicon is also a great TV series, Just because the first season does not get the numbers you would like doesnt mean it will not catch on. You put countless of funding & Advertisments for The Living Dead if the same was done for a show like Rubicon I could see it going 5-10 seasons like The walking dead is intended to go, You have amazing Writesr, Original shows. J Just do not cancel them after the first season, learn from your mistakes and… Read more »
I looked forward to Rubicon each Sunday night during its run. It is an extremely well written show. A few of the first episodes did have too many shots of Will thinking, eyebrows up, eyebrows down, head cocked to the side, hand under chin, staring into space,etc. I hope that AMC will reconsider its value and renew it for the next season or at least finish the wonderfully acted and fascinatingly layered and complex story. The supporting cast is as talented as the principals. You can’t leave AMC fans with the last episode of this season; come on Andy is… Read more »
What? What? this last post…did you hear it WASN’T being renewed? Are we so stupid as a society that this show is not more popular than half the other crud on tv that gets renewed?
@linda: It has been cancelled. The Backstage information was incorrect.
This is one of my favorite shows in recent years. It is smart. It is focused. I love the drama. I love the characters. I am heartbroken that they are not planning to finish the story.
Rubicon is a well written, smart, wonderfully acted show. The story is on target for our times. The characters have depth. AMC should consider having a show of such quality an asset. D. Brown
I’m 26 and I love the **** out of this show. Travesty if it gets cancelled. The story is nowhere near completed!
An unfinished story is an artistic crime.
