TV shows that feature time travel have had mixed success in the ratings — as have series that are based on movies. How will 12 Monkeys perform for Syfy? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned to find out.
On 12 Monkeys in the year 2043, a virus has wiped out most of the world’s population. One time traveler, James Cole (Aaron Stanford), must journey to 2015 to try to stop the virus from ever happening. Other castmembers include Amanda Schull, Emily Hampshire, Barbara Sukowa, Kirk Acevedo, Noah Bean, and Tom Noonan.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
3/12 update: Syfy has renewed the 12 Monkeys series for a second season.
Final season averages: 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 790,000 total viewers.

I LOVE THIS SHOW and DOMINION =]
Love this show! Too bad no one cares whether anyone younger than 18 or older than 49 watches.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE. I AM OLDER THAN 49 AND HAVE WAITED ALL MY LIFE FOR A STRONG SCI-FI CHANNEL. We get a great show like 12 Monkeys and Dominion and have to ”wonder” about renewals. How these 2 shows took the original movies and Expanded on them is outstanding. Thank Zeus they both have been renewed. There are sooooooooo many theories out there about 12MONKEYS. Olivia is Samuels daughter. Jennifer and Cole are brother and sister by their troubled mother. Olivia is Cole and Cassie’s daughter. The BLUE PEOPLE are from the future, etc. =] LOVE THIS SHOW/would love… Read more »
i dont have or watch tv, but if i hear about something good ill download it, and this show is really really good. it has had a couple bad episodes, but the great episodes outweigh them by far. these “movies turned into tv shows” have been great for the most part. fargo was great, dusk til dawn had a great first half, 12 monkeys great. i feel like im missing one. i do feel guilty that my views arent counting, but thats an indictment on television, not the specific shows
Apparently the DVR ratings are really high so they have renewed the show for a second season.
Ratings increased two weeks in a row! Good sign!
I love this show but ratings are very low so possibly will not get renewed. I do hope that at least if not renewed they give it a good ending like Cole and Cassie end up in the Keys in Florida like Cole dreamed about and the virus destroyed. Could have been a decent ending last episode but please continue for the 13 episodes and make a decent ending if not renewed. Love (Birkoff /Nikita) playing the star he is so cute.
the show runners have said that this season ends on a big cliffhanger.
The best way to ensure it’s renewed for at least one more season is to get everyone you know to watch it live (or to watch on DVR without fast forwarding) and to tweet #12Monkeys on Fridays from 9 to 10.
I love this show. I am tired of shows like this only having one season, but where can it go from here? I’d like to Cole and the doc met in the florida keys and marry.
It’s a fine show. Took a little time to establish itself, but it was never stupid, and the last two episodes show it hitting its stride. I’ll be honest: I don’t know if I want it to be endlessly renewed. What I want is for the producers to know in advance when it will end, so they can do so gracefully. Last night’s episode, with a coda added, could have worked as an ending for the series. If SyFy is going to pull the plug after one season, that’s OK, but I hope they do so while it’s still in… Read more »
too late. Production wrapped on Feb 27th.
it is a very good show. Aaron Stanford is extremely good. It is a Sci Fi fan’s TV series to watch. I get disappointed when good shows like this get cancelled. Tell producers to give it time. the following will increase.
So,SYFY says every new show has record premiere numbers.I recall Caprica and Stargate Universe had articles saying the same thing.Where are those shows now?Yet I look at the numbers above and they are way lower then the two previously mentioned shows.They hype it up in hopes that some people who read the headline tune in for the next airing.Let’s face the music people.SYFY has been downgraded to producing C movies and series.They will renew these shows despite low ratings because they are either cheap to produce or they bought the syndication rites from some other network.If you think I’m wrong… Read more »
It’s aswome show. It needs to be renewed
This show is AWESOME!!! Gets better ever week !! Have a new favorite thing to do on Friday nights 🙂
Syfy isn’t about live numbers anymore. They sent out a press release stating that. Why didn’t you report these numbers though from multiple sources?: CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED 12 MONKEYS DELIVERS HIGHEST L+3 LIFT EVER FOR A SYFY SERIES PREMIERE, LEAPING 85 PERCENT TO ONE MILLION ADULTS 18-49 NEW YORK – January 21, 2015 – Syfy’s critically acclaimed 12 Monkeys shattered channel records for a series premiere, soaring 85 percent among Adults 18-49, the highest lift ever based on L+3 data. 12 Monkeys delivered 1.0 million Adults 18-49, 1.1 million Adults 25-54 (+73 percent) and 2.3 million total viewers (+73 percent) from… Read more »
We report final national numbers for the purposes of comparison and because we can consistently get them (not just when a channel chooses to supply when they can be spun in a positive light). While channels are supposedly valuing delayed viewing more and more, same-day viewing is incredibly important to them because that’s what their advertisers want. If Sears has a big weekend sale, they want you to see their commercial on Friday, not three or more days later.
Can’t they just advertise a week in advance?
You must know that advertisers are still living in the last century.
Great show. I love these types of shows!!!!!!!!!!Glad to see it’s been RENEWED!!
It hasn’t been renewed.
The writers stated there were 3 seasons ordered by the channel…
So are you sure about the renewal?
As far as I know, Syfy hasn’t announced a renewal yet. If you have a source, please share. Thanks!
“It’s been renewed” says the man from the future.
12 Monkeys; the newest iteration is DIFFERENT than the movie obviously and I have a Season Pass set on my TiVo; I watch every week. SO FAR SO GOOD!
