ABC’s Revenge will end after its current and fourth season. The upcoming season finale, scheduled to air on May 10, will also be the series finale. Revenge started its run on ABC in 2011 to positive reviews and ratings but suffered a drop in season two.
Glee leads the way, doubling its live-plus-same-day rating with seven-day DVR viewership, the first broadcast show to do so. Other top gainers: Grimm and Revenge.
ABC on Sunday further clarified which of its programming would be broken up into two uninterrupted blocks of 12-episode runs, in addition to announcing its midseason schedule. Grey’s Anatomy, Nashville, Once Upon a Time, Revenge and Scandal will receive the split-run treatment.
