"Revolution" has finally come to an end after NBC decided to axe the show from its line-up despite debuting with very strong ratings in its first season.
According to IGN, Revolution was cancelled by NBC; hence, it is not coming back for a third season.
The series from executive producers J.J. Abrams, Eric Kripke and Jon Favreau was cancelled when the move to Wednesdays this season from its great lead-in on Monday with "The Voice" proved that the revolutionary show had apparently not developed a strong fanbase of its own.
Given that J.J. Abrams is one of its executive producers, Revolution came into the 2012-2013 roster with a lot of high expectations from television show fanatics.
IGN reports that the cancellation came at a time when the show was actually improving in terms of storyline and pacing as compared to its first season, which received a lot of criticisms.
The Warner Bros. Television drama has averaged a 1.4 rating in the key demo in live-plus-same-day viewing and improved to a 2.4 rating after seven days for its second season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
On Abrams' part, the cancellation of Revolution came a week after FOX cancelled his "Almost Human" after just one season. NBC's freshman series "Believe," which was also produced by Abrams, recently got axed as well. Nevertheless, the prolific producer still has CBS' newly renewed "Person of Interest" in contention.
According to reports, since NBC has now cancelled Revolution, it is gearing to obtaining better ratings by picking up DC Comics-themed "Hellblazer" drama "Constantine" to series. Other upcoming series the network is preparing include: "Odyssey," "Constantine," "Mysteries of Laura," and "Allegiance."
