More importantly, its viewership quickly diminished, particularly with the all-important young adult crowd, and it could just not become a staple of the cable network&#8217;s schedule.<\/p>\n<p>From the network&#8217;s statement: \u201cRubicon gave us an opportunity to tell a rich and compelling story, and we\u2019re proud of the series.  This was not an easy decision, but we are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a phenomenally talented and dedicated team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>AMC Cancels Low-Rated &quot;Rubicon&quot; After One Season<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Backed by an intriguing premise and the network that launched critical darlings &quot;Mad Men&quot; and &quot;Breaking Bad,&quot; AMC&#039;s &quot;Rubicon&quot; definitely had a lot in its\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/11\/amc-cancels-low-rated-rubicon-after-one-season\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AMC Cancels Low-Rated &quot;Rubicon&quot; After One Season\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Backed by an intriguing premise and the network that launched critical darlings &quot;Mad Men&quot; and &quot;Breaking Bad,&quot; AMC&#039;s &quot;Rubicon&quot; definitely had a lot in its\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/11\/amc-cancels-low-rated-rubicon-after-one-season\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-11-11T19:10:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/11\/amc-cancels-low-rated-rubicon-after-one-season\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/11\/amc-cancels-low-rated-rubicon-after-one-season\/\",\"name\":\"AMC Cancels Low-Rated \\\"Rubicon\\\" After One Season\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-11-11T19:10:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-11-11T19:10:33+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Backed by an intriguing premise and the network that launched critical darlings \\\"Mad Men\\\" and \\\"Breaking Bad,\\\" AMC's \\\"Rubicon\\\" definitely had a lot in its\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/11\/amc-cancels-low-rated-rubicon-after-one-season\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
