Revenge cancelled after season 4? ABC show's dropping viewership sparks rumours

Popular ABC drama Revenge has kept its fans entertained throughout the season with shocking twists and turns including major deaths.

However, the season 4 of the fan favourite series might end Emily Thorne's saga of revenge this year due to declining viewership records.

The ratings for the show continued to fall and rumours are abuzz that the show might go off the air and that season four will be the end of it.

Entertainment Weekly, in its report 'Deathwatch' had also mentioned a similar fate for the Madeleine Stowe and Emily VanCamp starrer drama and stated that Revenge "might go into the ground this year".

TV Series Finale, meanwhile, speculated the same after publishing the show's diminishing popularity chart and said that the "ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival."

However, Nick Wechsler, who plays Emily's childhood friend Jack Porter, clarifies that the show has the potential to run for two more seasons.

"I think it can go many more seasons," Wechsler told The Mirror. "I think you can get two more solid seasons out of it - season four and five - and then something would have to shift dramatically after that in order for me to believe that we could get another few solid seasons out of it. With David coming back and everything, I think you've got a solid two [seasons].

Below are some Twitter reactions from fans:

If Revenge gets cancelled this series, I'll be so pissed! Also if they kill Emily Thorne in the finale I'll be pissed. Never end, okay.
