Sad news for fans of Syfy’s Alphas. The show has been cancelled after two seasons and 24 episodes. Dedicated viewers have been waiting patiently to hear about the show’s fate since the second season ended in October.
Three of the show’s actors — Ryan Cartwright, Azita Ghanizada and Warren Christie — broke the cancellation news via Twitter.
Ryan Cartwright, who suspected the show had been canned a few weeks ago, wrote, “Unfortunately #Alphas is cancelled :(”
Azita Ghanizada tweeted, “Sad to say that ALPHAS will not be returning. What an honor to get to play Rachel for 2years & to work w/ & for the MOST AMAZING PEOPLE EVER”
Warren Christie wrote, “Like my buddy @RyanCartwright has reported, unfortunately #Alphas has been cancelled. Thanks for tuning in the last couple of years!!”
Alphas saw a significant drop in its second season ratings. Year one averaged 1.85 million each week with a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic while year two brought 1.3 million with a 0.7 demo rating.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Alphas has been cancelled? Are you surprised?
I’m so fed up with ratings, and cancellations that I rarely get invested in TV shows anymore.
This is the only show I would watch on SyFy. Guess I can cancel my subscription.
I’m very sad to see that Alphas was cancelled. 🙁
Just when I find a good show like Alphas and get into it. It gets canceled. Don’t the producers see its a great show and keep it going? So the ratings went down slightly, doesn’t mean its a bad show. Keep writing & watch it gain popularity. Stop giving up so quickly.
So sad that such a great show is cancelled. Not surprised, the good ones never come back. How long has a bad one been on….the Desperate Housewives seems to have gone on my entire adult life. Bleck.
Now we have room for more wrestling! Yay!
It feels so wrong. One of the best shows on television! I would like some answers to the second season ending. Also, the actors were incredible! I fell in love with SciFi not syfy after this show. I think its best to bring it back.
I agree, thats bs numbers on viewers there are so many I know who watch and loved the show…. BOOOOOO!!!
Nooo….they need to renew! This is an awesome and very well done show.
I have never understood how networks determine who, or how many people watch their shows. No one has ever asked me which shows I watch.
I think the ‘ratings’ rankings have more to do with internal politics of network executives. Guessing there were no network executive family-members who liked Alphas.
Another good fantasy show gone, to make way for another reality show . . .
Another good show bites the dust because the golden demographic didn’t watch it. When will these networks learn that existing on the 18-49 demographic and ignoring the other 66% over 50, is going to sink them?
Put it back on
I will be terminating my satellite service. You screwed uy SYFY.
Very sad
Not happy…..it was one of the better SyFy shows
