Seven episodes into Game of Silence‘s freshman run, NBC has opted not to pick up the drama series for a second season. The dark thriller, based on a Turkish format and in the vein of the movie Sleepers, has been steady but low-rated, logging a 0,7 adults 18-49 Live+same day rating for the past five airings. The series was a co-production between Sony TV and Universal TV.
