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.
Aftermath should be brought back for a second season!! We need to find out how the world ends!!! Take ghost wars away and give us back Aftetmath!!!
I enjoyed the show it was different, the different scenarios in each episode kept me guessing. I looked forward to the next. Now it’s not coming back, that is sad, it’s so hard to find good shows anymore, and when I do they get bumped off. So sad.
I really enjoyed it.. Was looking forward to seeing where they would go next…
Loved the show. I’ve been waiting for the new season and am sad to hear it’s not happening.
Definitely should have renewed it!!! I LOVED THE SHOW AND I MAY NOT HAVE WATCHED IT THE NIGHT IT CAME ON I Watched on demand after I was behind more than 1 episode because you always wanted to know what was next on their journey. Never Dull’! I hope Netflix picks it up
Bring back “Aftermath” and take off some other crap shows. You finally give us a great show and you cancel it. What’s it going to take?
Why would anybody start watching a SyFy show? They have an abysmal record of cancelling shows with no finale, leaving people just hanging. As soon as I see the SyFy logo, I think, “Oh, here’s another cancelled series just waiting to happen.” I’m usually right.
I really enjoyed Aftermath, i have been waiting for season 2. Only to find out from googling, there won’t be one. Gutted.
Loved the show. Shouldn’t have ended. Was really looking forward to where the plot was taking us. Bummer! Kraz out!
SY-FY always cancels good shows. I’m sick of it. So what you didn’t get 5 million viewers. You think people to the watch Sharknado? Uh…..no !!! Shows or movies as cheesy as that is really stupid!!! Aftermath, haunted Collector, Destination Truth all great shows and you cancel themy. I’m tired of SyFy cancelling everything. So screw Syfy, I’m done watching your network. Until Syfy Brings back Aftermath, I’m done with Syfy. Hope you all feel the same way and do the same!!! Syfy can burn in TV hell !!!!!
Yea. Look at what they did with stargate, now aftermath, no braines in holleywood.
Really dissapointed in syfy wish yall would stand up for what the people want to watch i would advise you to reconsider. #donewithsyfy
Syfy should of renewed season 2 aftermath n i like that show and I watch all of season 1 when it came on syfy in 2016 and they need to bring back aftermath back on syfy they should of renewed and they should of not stoped aftermath and being it back on syfy
I really loved the show and they left us hanging!
What Cancelled Aftermath. Makes no sense at all. These producer keep all the trash tv aka reality shows and takes off decent shows. Bring Aftermath back.
I loved this show. I also loved Defiance. The shows Syfy cancels make no sense to me. Bring aftermath back.
