Is ‘Revenge’ canceled? ABC promo suggests series finale coming
Well, it seems as though ABC may have finally tipped their cap when it comes to whether or not “Revenge” is coming back for another season after this one … and the news is not good for longtime fans.
At the end of tonight’s new episode “Exposure,” a promo aired highlighting the next four episodes of the show. The twist? It specifically said that these are the “last four episodes,” meaning that we are building up now to a series finale more so than a season finale. There’s no real other way to take this, since the words “this season” were never uttered. This does also add to the significance that the finale for this season / series is entitled “Two Graves.” This is the first time that an episode title has been given two words, and this references back to the series’ earliest mythology.
Still, we’re not sure what to think about the announcement, if this is an announcement at all. We’re just taking it this way because the preview was not exactly coy, and the ratings have not been great. It also helps to make more sense out of tonight being a partial clip show. This was meant to set us up for the final stage of Emily / Amanda’s journey.
We’ll hope to get some more confirmation on this in the days ahead (this is not official by any means), but we’re bummed if the end is near. We thought that there could be a 10-13 episode final season still in the works for “Revenge,” especially since it has been such a solid show for the network over the years and seems to have a strong international following.

I am really hoping this is THE END. I love the show, but it needs to end now and end with a bang, before it turns into Days of Our Lives. The story was Emily’s revenge. She got it, there is no need to get everyone’s revenge and just go into a never ending circle. Please please end it!

I got that impression from the words and trailer also. Stay tuned.

Revenge has been a nail biter and solid show from the beginning always leaving us excited for the next episode. It will be a huge disappointment if we have to say goodbye to such riveting characters.

Hallelujah!!! I LOVE Revenge, but how much longer can this go on??? I can’t handle another season of people trying to take Em’s down and destroy what little chance she has left of happiness. Take it out on a high(ish) note instead of stretching it out with more back and forth.

Thank you for being the only sensible person on this board. I have loved this show even when it stunk in Season 2 and we true fans know this show has to end now.

I don’t understand why ABC would cancel this show – part of the ratings decline is they keep moving around in the schedule. When it was on at 10:00 PM in the middle of the week it did very well in the ratings. Sunday night at 10:00 PM is not the best time with no lead in. Considering that CBS has Madam Secretary at 8:00 PM and The Good Wife at 9:00 PM, maybe they should move Revenge to CBS and it would have shows that were lead ins…
