It used to be a big deal when a movie star starred in a TV show. Now, they get cancelled just as quickly as any other series. How will Halle Berry and Extant do on CBS? Will it be renewed for season two or will it be cancelled after one short season? Stay tuned.
On Extant, astronaut Molly Woods (Berry) returns to Earth after a year-long solo mission in outer space. Her reunion with her family is thrown into turmoil when it’s learned that she’s pregnant. Others in the cast include Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Camryn Manheim, Grace Gummer, and Michael O’Neill.
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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
10/9 update: Extant has been renewed for a second season CBS.
Final season averages: 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.15 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Extant TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
Love the show please do not cancel
Love the show! First time in 33 years of being married that I have been able to get my wife to watch a sci-fi TV series and stay involved. She raves about it to others. Please continue production. Can’t lose with Steven Spielberg!
PLEASE OH PLEASE LISTEN TO THE FANS; DON’T SHUT IT DOWN AFTER JUST ONE SEASON; HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU DO THIS; ONE STINKING SEASON!!!??? GIVE US A BREAK, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO GIVE US ONE MORE SEASON???!!! Sometimes, it takes more than one season to make a show take interest….booooo hooooo!!!!!!
Thought the creator or director has been quoted as saying the season finale was a nice wrap-up in case not renewed. Seriously? It left off in a way that I’m not satisfied at all and nothing was wrapped up at all. I know this series is almost certain to be cancelled and that just makes it even worse.
There are still five episodes left in the season.
Please do not cancel this show. I really enjoy watching this show every week.
I think it should be renewed! There are so many places to go with it. So many story lines and endless possibilities. Even Star trek wasn’t popular at first and then …wham! Give the show a chance to catch on it will be a hit!
Please at least finish the damn story! Tired of these shows that are continuing drama that get axed before answering the question. Try a mini series approach. Guarantee that the story will end in X episodes and actually air. If in fact you want to continue then hold the answer and write accordingly. Someone should just try this approach and see how many more viewers stay invested.
I agree with you 100%!
I hated ABC after not wrapping up V. I give Fox credit for at least allowing JJ Abrams to wrap up Fringe with a shortened final season.
What good is a serial drama that never has a conclusion?
I like the show…give it a chance!
Please don’t cancel!! I love this show!
Please bring extant back. It to good of a show to let go. It has everything I want in a show. It has keep me on the edge seat since the first episode. So please bring it back. It is awesome.
I don’t understand why people have to bash other people on this post; I like the show a lot; last night was EPIC, best one yet. I’ve seen people on here bashing other countries; what the heck is that!? Grow up!
Depends on what the message is . Looks like a Stepford or Rosemary’s baby scenario. Robots programmed by someone’s whim or demons in the womb are to be loved and accepted. Looks to me like the new ‘villians’ are the only ones with sense. Love my kids, but if one was conceived by a demon- and there have been times I wondered (just kidding), I’d be hard pressed to nurture it and raise it. Not sure where this show is going… talk about family? IT’S A ROBOT! And an Alien who tricked you into conceiving! Not a benevolent Being. Geez.… Read more »
America does have it’s over abundance of mindless idiots but I love the show personally and tune in every week to catch Extant its one of the best tv shows I’ve ever seen and I am an American or Californian to be exact. Extant deserves a second season.
Second season, PLEASE. There are so few TV shows (especially sci-fi) with such high production value, interesting plot-lines, fine acting, and thought-provoking lead-ins and lead-outs.
IMO, there should be MUCH more promotion and unique marketing devoted to this series. Then, folks who haven’t been watching will get drawn in to the magic.
This is one of only 4 TV series that I currently watch faithfully. All have the same things in common, especially the high production values and attention to detail.
I totally agree with you! There are far too few shows of it’s caliber and I don’t generally take to sci-fi but this one keeps me tuned in!
I am watching it now and have enjoyed it , I like sci-fi shows and not many shows are right now with well known actors. KEEP the show and RENEW it !
Extant definitely deserves a second season, despite the ratings. It is an exciting, intelligent thriller with literally seasons and seasons worth of potential story line. To cancel it now would be a terrible injustice. Here in Canada the show is very popular. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t watch it. The problem is the US has the numbers and much of America is made up of mindless idiots. They’re addicted to their stupid reality shows and silly sitcoms, most of which are not funny at all. A show like Extant needs some more time to reach it’s audience. If CBS… Read more »
Too bad it’s not shown here in Romania, we have to get it wherever we find the episodes, but we absolutely love it. I’m with you in everything you said.
