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.
Why? I like it!
Me and my husband are very disappointed to learn Aftermath will not be returning for a second season, we were really looking forward to watching the show, man this is terrible
Please consider rethinking the decision to not renew aftermath for a second season. Maybe it would be possible to at least bring it back for a two hour show to quickly answer what happened to Karen and end the show.
Really sucks to learn it’s cancelled. Maybe someone with a brain like Netflix will pick it up. Syfy channel only had 3 shows I watched and never missed an episode they were z nation, aftermath and van helsing. I just now started the magicians and I dvr paranormal witness. I watched channel zero but could take it or leave it. But I couldn’t miss aftermath and was looking forward to season two
Loved Aftermath and was looking forward to the new season. Syfy finally had a great show again. Wished they would have cancelled Magicians and ghost hunting shows.
My sister and I are very disappointed that Aftermath isn’t coming back. We watched from the beginning and enjoyed the plot, acting and super natural elements. Tupper and Hache together are good!
Loved the show I hope it will not be cancelled
Just found the show, myself. Loved it. And I too binge watched it. I’m pissed. How about to a little more promotion for things like this. BETTER THAN THE WALKING DEAD! #SeriouslyAwesome #Morepromotion #MoreWatchers #Dothemath #lovedit Please bring it back. Big mistake if you don’t.
I so agree
I just found the show (aftermath) and I binged watched it I loved it I’m sorry to here there’s not going to be a season 2

I thought it was a good show worth watching every week,like haven and being human, etc
This was a great show. I am really really mystified by this.
Wow…why does all the good shows get cancelled and the crappy ones that don’t even make sense stay on?
I really liked Aftermath. Lately, almost every series I’ve attached to, gets cancelled. Defiance was the best, and it got cancelled after 3 seasons. And it was getting so good. Now Aftermath. Hopefully The Excorcist doesn’t get get cancelled. And let me just say, I don’t watch many series. I’m more of a movie person.
I have been waiting for season 2, I really enjoyed the show. I’m so disappointed it was canceled, please bring it back…thanks
Absolutely loved this show!!! Watched every episode cannot believe it’s cancelled
