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.
Season2-please!!??
Please give us season2 of Aftermath!(?)
It was one of my favorite shows currently running.
Listen, I took my time to watch Aftermath, it should be renewed for a second season. We cannot deny the facts: Occult, Magic, Evil, Demons, Pagans GOD’s, Satanism, Vampire’s are real and they exist. Now, I do believe that we live among many realms that cannot be explained to the physical realms. Do I believe we walk among Vampires, Yes! Do, I believe they have evolved? Yes! Do, I believe in Harry Potter? Yes! Do, I believe that we are in a battle of Good verses Evil? Yes! Do, I like that in all stories such as Once Upon A… Read more »
Absolutely loved this series – what a cliff hanger to leave us all on! Great cast, great set and even better story! I vote, with many others, that it is brought back!!!!!!!
I really loved this series.. Watched the whole 1st season in about a week. Looked to see when season 2 was comong on and to our dismay… You cancelled it!! Bring it back!!
Why is it all the good syfy show get cancelled just because the dam masses don’t like the show or most probably don’t even go on to rate but more than most probably watch the show in spite of ratings. Take DOMINION, CONSTANTINE, THE EVENT which to me had an awesome season ending finally, Another damn planet coming into view of earth through a wormhole, it doesn’t get any spectacular than that.
I absolutely loved aftermath I wish they would have renewed it for more seasons
TV decision makers give up too easily. Lightweights. This was good. A step above the usual apacolyptic predictable zombie nonsense. Admitedly some of the mumbled dialogue (especially episode 13 ) was sometimes too scripted and obvious, hard to follow but the tension and unpredictability was above par. Great cliffhanger with lots of room for more storyline. Dont mind if mum stays missing for a while, she should have stayed in the military and not had kids, no chemistry with Josh. I would have put this with Falling Skies which got 4 seasons. As I said, tv decision makers are too… Read more »
I absolutely loved Aftermath They seem to cancel all the great scifi shows. Just saying i am 49 and i loved Defiance and Dominion too. Aftermath reminded me of the family version of Supernatural whereas the whole family were fighting not just the 2 boys. I will miss it
I looked on the Tv and then decided to look online and found out it was cancelled. My husband and I really enjoyed the show and couldn’t wait for the next season. Now to our disappointment there won’t be.
