By Cody Schultz
Hoping to help show some extra love and support for NBC’s military drama The Brave in hopes of helping the series secure a second season? Here are five easy ways to do so!
Next Monday night, The Brave will wrap its freshman season with Part 2 of its 2-part finale event – one which is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats and, very likely, close with a jaw-dropping finale. Unfortunately, though, NBC has not yet weighed in on the future of the series which has become the first true bubble series of the season.
As The Brave inches closer to its freshman finale, the future of NBC’s military drama remains up in the air with no official decision but there are steps fans such as yourself can take to help in the efforts to convince NBC to hand out a well-deserved renewal.

As simple as it might seem, tuning into a series live is still one of the biggest ways fans can support their favorite shows. While networks now look at a variety of factors in determining a show’s fate including the series’ delayed viewership numbers, multi-platform performance and international success, the immediate overnight numbers continue to stand as a crucial factor in a show’s renewal odds. Taking that one hour to watch the show live rather of DVRing it to watch later could prove to be the difference in a renewal or cancellation order.
