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.
I wish there was a season 2 of aftermath
Amazing show and can’t believe no season 2, that really sucks…..
Your guys are killing me, 1st you cancelled Surface (absolutely loved) 2nd alphas, 3rd Merlin and now Aftermath?? What next sharkando??? No bueno syfy!!
Wow, why can’t they just give the viewers what they want. I was so looking forward to season 2, and so dissapointed just now finding out it’s been cancelled, I absolutely LOVED this show.
It was awesome! So sorry it was cancelled!
This really sucks that I’m finding this out in July….I’ve been waiting for this show to return after that cliffhanger where she gets sucked up into the vortex. Smh
I am so bummed that there will be no second season I really liked this show!!!
Just found out Aftermath has been cancelled after only one season. Very disappointed, could have been a mini Lost. Could the writers not be bothered?
I really enjoyed this show. Sorry to see it cancelled .
You people suck! I love this show! 1st you take off Bitten and now you take off Aftermath!!??? Its not bad enough that syfy runs the same movies over and over again for amonth or 2 and syfy is slacking big time showing good horror movies now your taking off another great show!!! Now the only great show thats on is Blood Drive!! You people need to get a grip and get better movies & shows!! Time to hirer
I love Blood Drive!!! I hope they don’t cancel that too! Like they did with Defiance! And Dominion!
idiotic is the only word that comes to mind to describe the executives that are in
charge of whether or not a show gets a second season, they have done this on more occasions than i can remember, dominion, defiance, firefly, just to name a few. they keep running re-runs with series that already have a huge fan base but they won,t give anything new a chance to gain any sort of momentum
I am very upset. I even started watching season 1 -‘again waiting on season. An Netflix oick it up. Very frustrating
I’m so disappointed I really enjoy the show and was hoping to see season 2 of aftermath totally bummed 🙁
Damn! I was really looking forward to another season. Oh well
No space what a bunch of bull. With all the repeats they have and all the bad shows they currently have. They say they don’t have any space.
