While doomsday meteors, mass vanishings, demonic possessions, and serpent gods couldn’t stop the Copeland family, no one is immune to the network TV Powers That Be. The Aftermath TV show on Syfy has been cancelled after its first and only season.
Star James Tupper broke the news that there would be no Aftermath season two, on Twitter. Halfire Entertainment produced the post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama in association with Syfy and Canada’s Space channel. Anne Heche, Julia Sarah Stone, Taylor Hickson, and Levi Meaden also starred.

Aftermath Season One Ratings | Syfy
In the US, Aftermath premiered on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 with a 0.16 rating in the 18-49 year old demographic and 634,000 viewers. While the series never really built on that audience, it did manage to maintain it.
Overall, the first season of Aftermath averaged a 0.16 in the demo and drew an average total audience of 594,000 viewers.
Those numbers currently put Aftermath right in the middle of Syfy’s slate. Out of the 15 Syfy TV shows we have been tracking in to 2016-17 television season, Aftermath ranks seventh, when we sort by either demo ratings or average total audience size.
Although it is a bit of a surprise to see a cable channel cancel a middle-of-the-pack TV series, remember, Aftermath is a Syfy-Space co-production. In other words, the decision was not only Syfy’s to make.
That said, in the recent past, Syfy has cancelled shows that earned better ratings in both measures. When the cable channel cancelled Defiance after three seasons, it was averaging a 0.25 and 1.125 million, respectively. Similarly, Dominion, which was cancelled after two seasons on Syfy, averaged a 0.25 in the demo and 869,000 total viewers.

Finally, what do you think? Did you watch the first season of the Aftermath TV show? Do you think Syfy and Space should have cancelled or renewed it for a second season? Let us know, below.
ALL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, IS THAT MY CHILDRENS WIFE & MYSELF! INCLUDED
LOVED WATCHING – AFTERMATH!
AND WERE STUMP!!! WHY THE SHOW BEEN CANCEL,
PLEASE THINK!!!! ABOUT THAT!!!
MEANING GIVING THE SHOW ANOTHER CHANCE!!!
Thxs For Hearing Me Out….
I really loved that show and was really looking forward to the 2nd season and now I find out it’s cancelled and I am really bummed out I really wanted to see what was going to happen and what was on the other side of those storms I was very interested in that show and it seems like their constantly cancelling the really good shows and keeping the ones that are kinda dull! Please bring the show back Aftermath rocks!!!!
I hate that. They cancel all the good shows.
It didn’t even end at least finish it guess they needed the money for expanse 🙂 which I love but really channel zero ? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee 2 seasons for that lol it was ok but not even close to Aftermath
I just watched series as well and loved it. I agree with others that there was no advertising this show and I did not even know it existed until i ran across it in the listings. Please bring this back and this time promote the hell out of it.
Aftermath was great. I did not see it when it came out, I watched it all recently and am very disappointed that it was not renewed.
Why did Syfy? I Hate you SyFy Channel!
With all the hero type shows, it was nice to see how a family would handle this situation. I am in my Fifties and I enjoyed the show, it was well done and I love the cast. Sorry that flash, trash and twenty something years old’s are the driving force for SyFy’s Poor decisions on the Network.
I think this show was a great and totally different from other shows!!! The problem was there was NO advertisement of this show! I came across it by complete accident, and it captured my interest! By far a poor desission to cancel the show! And should totally reconsider renewing before they loose loyal watchers!
Why is it that every TV show I like gets taken away only to be replaced by garbage? It was enjoyable and fast paced. Shows should be allowed to try to get a hold of viewers. How many shows were deemed duds but turned out to be hits? Glad I checked. Now need to refocus on something new. So sad!
I really enjoyed the show, really bummed it’s been cancelled
It was a Young and cheek show but still captured my interest when I decided to watch it and give it a chance. The show did the best with what it had and somewhat interesting characters and I would like to see how it panned out and was hoping for a 2nd season as if not to tie up loose ends. The show had respectable ratings rating 7 out of 15 syfy shows.
I just came across this show on demand and really sad that there is no second season now I loved it
What a shame, it was a great show. I look forward to Tuesday nights at 10 PM to watch it on SyFy. Poor decision on the part of the SyFy Network.
Should have renewed it. Was a awesome show
