Show information, storyline and cast

The American thriller and criminal drama Game of Silence has premiered on NBC on April 12, 2016 with a preview episode, and subsequently debuted in its regular time slot on April 14, 2016. It is based on Suskunlar, a Turkish television series by Pinar Bulut. Game of Silence is developed by David Hudgins, executive produced by Hudgins, Carol Mendelsohn, Julie Weitz, Niels Arden Oplev, Timur Savci, Tariq Jalil and Deran Sarafian and produced by David Hudgins Productions, Carol Mendelsohn Productions, Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television.

The storyline of the original Turkish series is based on a true story wherein three children in Gaziantep, Turkey, were sentenced to nine years in prison for stealing baklava. The American adaptation follows a group of preteens harshly punished for their joyride in a stolen car, having served time at a dreadful reform school. Jason Brooks is portrayed by David Lyons, Michael Raymong-James plays Gil Harris, Larenz Tate is Shawn Cook, and Bre Blair is Jessie West – they are the four lead characters as grown-ups. Curran Walters, Judah Lewis, McCarrie McCausland and Katie Kelly portray the same characters in their childhood.

Viewership ratings and chances of renewal

The pilot of Game of Silence premiered to 6.41 million viewers, but subsequently lost a significant share of the audience, and the viewership lowered to 3.9 and then 3.35 million people per episode. Game of Silence has garnered mixed reviews, slanting towards negative. Among the positive traits noted are the quality acting and an intriguing premise, but apparently that's not enough to keep the viewers glued to their screens. Stay tuned for the latest developments in the fate of the series.

Season 1 recap

Despite the cancelation of Game of Silence on May 13, 2016 after just one season, we thought that a recap of the shocking season finale might still be of interest. The 10-episode freshman chapter has bowed out on June 5, 2016 on NBC. This is a story of four grown-up friends - Jackson, Shawn, Boots and Gil who have suffered greatly at Quitman juvy facility in their childhood while it was headed by Carroll. The final episode portrayed Gil finally holding Carroll at gunpoint, but not killing him, instead, he humiliates the former warden in public in front of his campaign donors and thus getting revenge. Jackson learns that his fiancee Marina is pregnant, but she's brutally murdered later on in the episode. The final 10th episode aired to an audience of 2.4 million viewers, having lost a great deal of the show's season premiere audience of 6.41 million. The ratings slump made NBC axe the series, but the fans have been posting all over social media, asking the network to reconsider and give the compelling series a chance to develop. Will NBC succumb? Will the series be picked up by another network? Is this the final good-bye? There is always a chance, so we'll monitor announcements and keep you informed.

Latest news

UPDATED May 14, 2016: NBC has been clearing up its programming slate to make room for new shows, and one of the series that fell victim in the process is mystery thriller Game of Silence, canceled after just one season on the air. The series lost almost half of the audience by mid-season, and, to be honest, seemed very likely to be sacked. The series will, despite its cancelation, finish off its run, with season (and series) finale scheduled to air on June 5, 2016.

I had never heard of the show Game of Silence until now. The first season was bloody fantastic and to leave the ending like that without a 2nd season is bloody ridiculous. Come on people get your acy together.

0 7 Mr.iCut February 22, 2019

Amazon Prime or Netflix needs to pick this up & finish what NBC started this some BS ..

0 4 Wilkswife Mr.iCut March 15, 2019

I felt like NBC could have changed the time slot to give it another season. What a cliff hanger! I was excited to watch the series again on Prime because I loved it. I hope others see the need to finish off the series in a proper ending. PICK IT UP PRIME OR NETFLIX!!! Please.

0 3 Patty Fluharty December 29, 2016

I am totally bummed to see this show has been canceled. I loved Game of Silence!!

0 2 Bryan November 27, 2016

I can't believe it .... Game of silence is a very good show, i take a big pleasure to see it. I hope another network take will take over ... !!!!

0 3 Cinthia Stukovsky November 17, 2016

Me and my husband are very disappointed that Game Of Silence will not have a season 2. One of my favorite shows. Didn't miss it and if we couldn't watch it that night we would DVR it.

0 4 Gary 1 November 12, 2016

A bad mistake

1 2 Ruth MisPeaches Lockett October 31, 2016

I can't believe NBC canceled " Game of Silence" , I really hope another network picks it up it could boost their ratings! .....NBC you're sleeping on a good one..!!

0 4 Char Pollard October 28, 2016

I'm so disappointed in NBC, I watch this channel all day long. I loved Game of Silence. My husband even loved it. With all these reality shows on its nice to have other options. This show had a storyline like no other, at least none that I've seen. We couldn't wait for this to come on every week. To find out it's been cancelled is very disappointing! I do hope another station picks it up. I can think of a few shows on NBC that are no where's near as good as this show was!

0 6 Jewel October 20, 2016

I think everyone should send a letter or email to abc requesting for them to pick up the show for season 2. Real dumb move NBC the show was great. I think the rating might of dropped because of it airing in April when then nice weather started to come in play. I can't speak for everyone but I do watch a lot more tv in the fall - winter

0 2 Carilyon October 20, 2016

Once again one of my most favorite shows was canceled. This show kept me on the edge of my seat. I am very unhappy about this. Please bring it back, it was outstanding.

0 2 DawnS October 6, 2016

Why do all the best shows get cancelled?! Absolutely appalling that such a high quality show is cancelled I was hooked binge watched all 10 episodes and was eagerly awaiting Season 2 only to find it's been cancelled before it's even got started!! Come on bring it back!

0 2 iris higgins October 4, 2016

I was really upset to find that the show was cancelled the acting was great as was the storyline they got it wrong this time

0 2 MMartin October 3, 2016

I love this series. It was one of my favorites. The acting was remarkable. The plot was even better. I am very hurt buy this. Netflix wouldn't have done this. That's why Netflix is better than Hulu...mhorrible canceling my subscription.

0 3 Jamie October 2, 2016

I just goggled to see when Game Of Silence would be returning for Season Two and found out NBC cancelled it due to low ratings. I found that funny due to all the comments/post to bring it back. What are you people thinking at NBC?! Game Of Silence is one the best shows I have seen in a very long time. Please reconsider and bring it back. You can't leave it end the way you did at the end of Season One.

0 3 Lorraine Hill September 27, 2016

Loved this series but getting fed up with getting engrossed in a series only to b cancelled there just seems to b no point . When you get so much extra rubbish on tv and then a good series comes along and goes . So fed up with this .

0 3 kaytomo September 23, 2016

What a joke! Good shows constantly been axed after the first series. Hope another channel brings this show back, i really enjoyed watching. Sick of the rubbish getting saved and decent series been replaced all the time!

BRING GAME OF SILENCE BACK

0 3 Shirl September 20, 2016

I am still hoping Netflix or another station will pick up and continue where Season 1 left off!! Truly I was outraged to hear NBC had cancelled this show..it had all the elements of a terrific drama/thriller and I am so particularly fed-up with these stations airing a premiere that you get totally into and then they cancel it without giving it a chance. I am so sick of these reality TV shows and that seems to be the only continued programming that seems to get renewed. Give Game of Silence another season with a new night! !!

0 2 Darlene September 12, 2016

I waited all summer and would check the TV search guide to see when my show, Game of Silence, would be coming back for season 2, only to hear it's been cancelled? What is going on with tv these days! So much junk on TV, and a great, on-the-edge-of-your-seat show gets cancelled? I would laugh if this wasn't so pathetic.

0 2 Shani Darlene September 14, 2016

Nbc continues to cancel these great shows without fan consideration. Very unpredictable which is why many people don't trust nbc. Fans love s slow then it's pulled or not renewed. Very disappointing.

0 3 Brendasue September 11, 2016

WHY CANCEL?? BRING IT BACK and Love this SHOW and give 2nd chance.. I am getting tired of watch the show repeat show.... I want GAME OF SILENCE back on Please I love that show.. you make me UPSET and SAD.... BEG YOU and BEG YOU MORE TO BRING IT BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

0 3 Kennedy September 8, 2016

This show was the best and needs to be aired again!!!!! I will be so upset if it continues to be ignored as such a good show.

0 2 Leba September 8, 2016

I CANT BELIEVE THIS SHOW WAS CANCELLED I WAITED ALL SUMMER FOR THE RETURN AND ITS CANCELLED? Nbc obviously don't care about its viewers

0 2 Shani Leba September 14, 2016

0 1 Sandy Hattan September 7, 2016

NBC SUCKS THIS WAS A GREAT SHOW YOU LEAVE ON STUPID SHOWS AND CANCEL GOOD ONES COULDNT WAIT FOR IT TO RETURN WILL NOT WATCH NBC ANYMORE

0 2 Ashley m September 1, 2016

Please give game of silence a second chance they left of the finale with the brutal murder of Jacksons pregnant wife in the back of his car. This left people wondering what happened to her and who did this. We as the audience deserve to know this and the cast of game of silence deserves a second chance to renew their show. So please reconsider your answer and renew the show.

0 0 Becky August 28, 2016

Bring the show back give it a chance I was glued to the television every time you came on looking forward to next season

0 0 Diane Perl Becky September 19, 2016
