What’s This TV Show About?

A Syfy mystery, 12 Monkeys stars Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Todd Stashwick, Emily Hampshire, and Barbara Sukowa. The sci-fi drama series follows the journey of James Cole (Stanford), a man from 2043, who is sent back in time to stop the evil Army of the 12 Monkeys from destroying the world. In season four, James and Cassandra travel further back in time than they have. Syfy says, “According to legend, their only hope lies with a weapon capable of stopping the Witness for good. But they’ll soon discover that in order to win the final battle and save time itself, they will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.”
 

Season Four Ratings

The fourth season of 12 Monkeys averaged a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 290,000 viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 35% and 16%, respectively. Find out how 12 Monkeys stacks up against the other Syfy TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Since the show is ending with this fourth season, there is no need to wonder whether Syfy will cancel or renew 12 Monkeys for season five. I’ll still keep an eye on the Nielsens, because it helps with predictions for other Syfy TV series. I’ll watch the trades and press releases too, and pass along any word about potential spinoffs or revivals. Subscribe for free 12 Monkeys news alerts.
