Over the last couple of seasons, Syfy has branched out to include other “genre” programming which isn’t strictly of the science-fiction genre. The cable network’s latest addition is the Deadly Class TV show. Based on the Image Comics graphic novel by writer Rick Remender and illustrator Wes Craig, does it have enough of a built-in audience, and that special Syfy something, to make the grade in the Nielsen ratings? Will Deadly Class be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A Syfy coming-of-age thriller Deadly Class stars Benjamin Wadsworth, Benedict Wong, Lana Condor, María Gabriela de Faría, Luke Tennie, Liam James, and Michel Duval. Set in the counterculture of the 1980s, the drama centers on Marcus Lopez Arguello (Wadsworth), a street kid who is recruited into Kings Dominion, a private academy. The twist is, this elite school is the top choice among the world’s premier crime families.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Deadly Class TV series? Should this Syfy TV show be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*6/5/19 update: The Deadly Class TV show has been cancelled so there won’t be a second season, at least on Syfy.
Soooo good! Please don’t cancel! SEASON 2! SEASON 2!
Honestly that made me buy the comics . I really love the show . I find every actors perfect including the background characters they all do their best even the guards that stay stoic as hell . Congrats SyFy you have created a masterpiece. You have found good actors . Good writers. A good realisator . I’m sad you don’t get an higher audience . But trust me you should continue . Maybe the audience wouldn’t be high but the blu ray and DVD will sell a lot for sure .
This show needs a Season 2. PERIOD. Its too good to be canceled. Dont play us SYFY.
I really didn’t think I’d like it, thought it would be another beautiful vapid young people show, and on one level it is, but I was pleasantly surprised how fun it is. Also pleased by a depth of social awareness, and discussions by the characters on subjects I would never have expected in a comic book series. It has humor, and doesn’t take itself overly serious. the characters make the poor choices based on passions that young people are wont to do, as we all did once. the art direction is glorious. I’m pushing 60, i binge watched them, and… Read more »
Everything is perfect! The music is amazing and the store line is crazy, exciting, and dark. And I absolutely love it!! Besides the language. I would love to see more seasons of Deadly Class. So please continue with a season 2, 3 and 4, ect. I have enjoyed every episode and get surprised everytime. There is always something happening and there is never a dull moment. The episode that came on tonight was just so shocking I about cried!! (Episode 9). As your number 1 fan please continue to make more seasons. Much love!
Best show ever!! If it gets cancelled I’ll cry!
The show is awesome. Bought the whole thing on itunes and have rewatched numerous times.
I love this show! Love the 80’s, love the storyline, and love the music. Please don’t cancel the show!
I love the show. It’s well written, acted and directed. I love how dark and edgy it is. Great music for the show’s vibe.
Sorry wrong numbers 19 out of 31 an 61.29 D show
I was 50/50 on if I should see it or not by the trailer knowing the trailer show the best parts. So I went to these renewal or cancel page 1 and got 4 yes 4 no 1 indefernt. Do I check rotten tonatoes since it also on this page and got 3 yes 3 no. So I went to Matacritic it had 9 yes 2 no 6 indefernt. So I will see it one day. Since the data poll show out of 31 people 16 yes 9 no 7 indefernt.
How you make your own decision instead of basing what you should like on the judgement of other “critics”
I love this show. Great music, style and story. Solid 10/10. YES for more and another season! Episode 5 is one of the best episodes I’ve seen for TV series in a long time. IMDb ratings are strong. Keep it going!!
I really hope this show gets cancelled
Why would you hope that? Why be selfish? If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Don’t hope to ruin others peoples enjoyment or the actors and crew involved in the show..
Maybe I’m too old… but this show rubs me entirely the wrong way. That little Asian girl who is often touted as the main/one of the main characters, looks like a 12-year old kid. Even her tiny little sword (custom made for her small body no doubt) looks like it’s a child’s toy. The other girls in the show also look very petite/skinny with strangely large disproportional heads. When these “kids” try to talk/act tough, it just looks ridiculous. Maybe this worked as a comic book series, but as a TV show… this is an utter failure.
That Asian “girl” is a 21-year-old woman. And she’s the youngest female cast member.
…
Actually Taylor, the girl who plays Petra is the youngest female cast member, but good try.
I am 48 years old and love this show. So, I’m not sure how old you are but ok. The cast is great, the music is amazing and yes, I’m an 80’s “girl”. Maybe the show isn’t your thing, guess you’ve never watched anything based off of comics to understand it. To put down the “girls” and say a pedophile would like the show is wrong in so many ways.
Definitely! Best show on Syfy I have enough in a long time!
Does anyone know is season 2 is coming?
