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 use to be one of SYFY’s loyal fans but every time I turn around they make me regret hanging in there with them. Cutting good shows just after one season smh and continuing with the lame ones. I’m done with the SYFY channel.
What the hell this the second time in so many years these idiots in the world put shows out that people enjoy then cancel like revolution then they give you lost with the worst ending ever which played for years. I give up watching them and I am surprised the 100 still going and not cancelled yet. Why bother it wasting people’s time with uncompleted series and we should stop watching them until the full series out in the future as then it will stop this ridiculous people dictating when to just finish a series because it don’t have the… Read more »
Absolutely gutted just came across this today am on EP 2 and love it great show could do so well like supernatural slightly only a tad from what I have seen but love it
Yet again a show that points to intelligence having the answers instead of violence, gets cancelled.
Thanks for being a sheep!
I LOVED ‘Aftermath’!!! I was so looking forward to the second season and was thoroughly disappointed today when I found out it was cancelled. There just aren’t too many things anymore to look forward to with all the crap going on in the world so it really sucks when the TV industry starts to also screw with your happiness!!! LOL
Is it possible that someone else could pick it up and continue it?
Lol so true!!
Aaawww, I was waiting for the 2nd season. Me and my kids really liked that show. Dang it
I loved aftermath….why not continue with it, it’s a real mind blowing show. I think it’s unfair to cancel the show right at a cliffhanger!
I really miss the show!!
Mannnnnn…. Good show.
Loved Aftermath. Bummed that there won’t be a second season.
My daughter and I loved this series, it had loads of potential to make something thrilling and exciting! Gutted it was cancelled 🙁
Totally gutted this show has been cancelled! My daughter and I really enjoyed it and couldn’t wait for the next instalment. This show could have huge possibilities with the story line! BRINK IT BACK!!
Booooo!! You guys really suck!! Aftermath was a great show so let’s cancel it. Whatever. I really used to love the syfy channel and its shows but the only one left to watch now is blood drive!! Keep cancelling the good stuff and you won’t have to worry about ratings because nobody will be watching at all.
I think I’m going to boycott the SyFy channel because of this. I’m so sick of investing time in shows that they just end up canceling. What about the viewers you’re letting down?
amazing shows get cancelled bad corny soap operas keep on going good thinking 🙂
aww, I liked it
