NBC Cancels "Revolution" after Two Seasons
by NELLIE ANDREEVA
May 9, 2014

After a flying start two years ago when it was the key piece at NBC‘s upfront presentation, "Revolution" has just been cancelled.

The JJ Abrams/Eric Kripke post-apocalyptic drama is long ways from where it was last season when it was riding high with a lot of buzz and solid ratings behind "The Voice" on Mondays. The heavily serialized series started to lose steam after the long hiatus between the fall and spring half-season.

And it has been a ho-hum performer in the low-trafficked Wednesday 8 PM slot this season, a shadow of its former glory. It has been stable, keeping the lights on in the hour. That wasn’t enough, especially given the high price tag on the show.

Hope for "Revolution" getting a 13-episode final chapter took a further hit yesterday when NBC picked up two new series from series‘ producer Warner Bros. TV, including comic book drama "Constantine", which had been considered a potential replacement for "Revolution".

Keeping "Revolution" was important to studio WBTV, while NBC was open to letting go and it just did.

Just like what happened to Terra Nova.

I saw a few episodes of this show dumped in an early morning timeslot here, and thought Tracy Spiridakos was a terrible choice for a lead role on the show, because her acting was awful, and it made the show hard to watch...
