NBC’s American Odyssey started off with decent audience numbers, but after its premiere episode the ratings eroded to the point the network ultimately opted not to give the series a second season order. Series creator Peter Horton tweeted the news of the series’ cancellation:

The series starred Anna Friel as Sgt. Odelle Ballard and, without giving away any spoilers, the season one finale had left the door open for her story to continue. The cast of season one also included Peter Facinelli, Jake Robinson, Jim True-Frost, Sadie Sink, Omar Ghazaoui, Nate Mooney, Elena Kampouris, Daniella Pineda, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Treat Williams. The first – and now only – season premiered on April 5, 2015 and concluded on June 28, 2015.
