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 was the best series on Tv. I was so sad to hear it wasn’t being re red. I gree it I an attending series. Bring it back!!!
I love this show and really got into it. I hope they bring it back.
I had mixed feelings about Rubicon. On one hand, it was really good, on the other it’s pacing was really slow, which I think probably led to it’s decline in viewership. Before when I had Comcast and was paying an arm and a leg for my TV service, I probably would have already felt ripped off and said I’ve had it, but now being a subscriber and employee of DISH Network I feel like, with how little I’m paying, maybe I can give it a chance and who knows, this might become my next favorite show. Recently I found this… Read more »
Emailing from UK where series 1 ended just over a week ago. A slow-moving but more thoughtful series than the norm. Only for the patient and intelligent. Want more please but the action could be accelerated and the plot widened.
Gripping drama. The World has more than its share of Truxton’s so let a second series keep the mind games going as so many questions unanswered with the season finale
It is a shame to see such a well written drama bite the dust. There IS a story to continue with at least another couple of deaths outstanding.
Maybe someone else could pick up if any of the cast are still available. World-wide sales must surely be worth taking into consideration. It just needs the right channel to have faith, pick up season 1 for peanuts and finance at least 6 season 2 episodes if 13 is out of the question in these times of financial austerity. Maybe a sponsorship by the drinks company of the titles name?
please don’t cancel RUBICON! it’s an oustanding serie!
This is one of the finest and most intelligent US dramas I have seen in years. Great story line – brilliant performaces throughout. PLEASE make another series.
What a gripping show. For what reason would you possibly cancel a show with such an intriguing plot, so well written and excellent acting? Please, eeven if you have to re-run the original, I’d watch a gain. Besides, where else would one find a show with characters names such as Truxton Spangler???
Rubicon is like a very fine wine …It needs to age and it will be a classic . It really demonstrates what good writers can do and when combined with fine acting and directions it stands up to the British TV and any one else. AMC….don’t cancel a great series like this one….spread the word ..it is a great one and you’ve got it!!!!!!
Please let Rubicon continue …. It was interesting. This show prompted attentiveness–it did not rely on special effects, sex, and mindless dialogue. It was a show that we looked forward to to watching each week. Please bring it back.
I really hope that I am pleasently surprised with the return of Rubican. I liked that you had to think. Granted Madmen is good, but really it’s just smut. Unlike Rubicon if you missed a week you lost a piece of the puzzel.
I really like the suspense show Rubican. There is so much really juvenile shows with no thought needed. Please bring Rubican back. My husband and I didn’t miss an episode.
Rubicon is a great show. And I hope it comes back for another year. I am running out of good shows to watch. I like Mad Men but 24 was cancelled and I replaced it with Rubicon. We need good shows like this. Please consider another year.
Just discovered that AMC will not offer Rubicon this summer. The quality of the series was truly outstanding in every way and AMC should reconsider its position and reinstate the Rubicon series.
