These BFFs won’t be rescuing their planet after all. Syfy has cancelled the Astrid & Lilly Save the World series, so there won’t be a second season. The first season of 10 episodes finished airing last March.
A supernatural comedy series, the Astrid & Lilly Save the World TV show stars Jana Morrison and Samantha Aucoin with Olivier Renaud, Julia Doyle, Geri Hall, Noah Perchard, Spencer Macpherson, Christina Orjalo, Kolton Stewart, Megan Hutchings, and Michael McCreary. The story revolves around a pair of BFF teens who attend Pine Academy. Lilly (Aucoin) is sweet-natured and intuitive with a passion for investigative photography. Meanwhile, Astrid (Morrison) is bold and unfiltered with a knack for “sciencey” gadgets. High school is hard enough when you’re different, but when these outcasts accidentally crack open a portal to a terrifyingly quirky monster dimension, it gets a lot more complicated. With some help from an extra-dimensional monster hunter named Brutus (Renaud), it’s up to Astrid and Lilly to vanquish the creepy creatures and save the world, becoming the badass heroes they were meant to be. That is, if they can survive the horrors of high school.
The first season of Astrid & Lilly Save the World averages a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 240,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. It was Syfy’s lowest-rated show in the demo and a middle-of-the-road performer in total viewership.
What do you think? Have you watched the Astrid & Lilly Save the World TV series on Syfy? Are you sorry to hear that this show wasn’t renewed for a second season?
While I’m certainly not their demographic (over 60), I thoroughly enjoyed it and am sad it has not been renewed. It was refreshing to see two female leads that were not a size 0.
It was funny/creepy. Enjoyed it, but they never promoted it, so how would anyone know about it? Only found it because it followed Resident Alien.
i saw previews of it while watching resident alien, too. it was a really fun show and I agree that if it was promoted correctly, it would’ve gotten more viewership, better ratings, and a second season. I’m disappointed that it was canceled. hopefully, a streaming network will pick it up.
I couldn’t make it through the pilot/ep1 (tried 3 times).
And ratings were horrible.
