Last month, Syfy finished airing the first (and very short) season of Dominion. How did the sci-fi series do in the ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season or, will it be cancelled instead?
Based on characters from the Legion movie, Dominion takes place 25 years into the future. It’s after the “Extinction War” in which an army of lower angels waged a war against mankind. The show’s cast includes Christopher Egan, Tom Wisdom, Carl Beukes, Alan Dale, Roxanne McKee, Anthony Head, Luke Allen-Gale, Shivani Ghai, and Rosalind Halstead.
In June, the series debuted to 1.96 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Compared to other current Syfy scripted series, that was a positive premiere. Viewership dropped 26% in week two but then grew slightly in week three and leveled off.
The first season ended up averaging 1.6 million viewers and a 0.5 demo rating. That’s on par with other Syfy shows like Defiance (which was way down) and Haven. The numbers are much better than those of imported shows like Continuum and Lost Girl.
While Dominion hasn’t been a runaway hit, it has been a consistent performer for the cable channel. On the other hand, Syfy has other shows in the works so they may decide to focus on launching those. It could go either way.
Syfy’s Ted A’Zary has indicated that a decision should be coming soon.
If Dominion is renewed, showrunner Vaun Wilmott said in a press call in June that he already has story plans for at least five more seasons. If it’s cancelled, hopefully he’ll share what might have been.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Dominion TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
9/25 update: Syfy has renewed Dominion for a second season.
Would like it renewed!!
Thanks.
Looking forward to season 2. Very curious to see which way the writers take us. I’m very impressed with Tom Wisdom, and his portrayal of Michael.
I find Dominion intriguing and full of surprises that the viewer did not see coming. I hope the network gives this show a chance because it could end up developing a huge fan base. The storyline is interesting and right now Angels are at the top of the “chain”. People always thought of Angels as cute little cherubs, when in reality they are far from that. I for one am enjoying finding out about the” other side of the coin”. Network exec’s, don’t end up saying we should have, could have, like all the other guys did by canceling a… Read more »
We all would like to see DOMINION RENEWED! Please do not cancel the series.
Thank you;;
Please keep the series going. I want to see another 5 season.
Please make more seasons it was great
Keep the show going. Syfy finally has a good show again.
Do not cancel…hard to find good shows now a days. Cancel all those so called reality shows…
Please please renew Dominion, DO NOT CANCEL! It is an awesome show. My family and I love it. Please renew
Please please please renew for second season! Such an intriguing movie series!
Dominiom was excellent. We were very very disappointed at the shortness of the season. Bring us a longer season 2.
With a little tweaking I think the show would be far better. It is good now and deserves a renewal, but tweak the characters a LITTLE and it would fly.
The other cities need to be seen, we saw how great Las Vegas is, but how bad are the other cities without all the comforts they have in LV?
Are the leaders in the other cities as / were as bad / incompetent?
Alex needs to grow a pair, and stop shouting all of his lines.
Please do NOT cancelled DOMINION series! It’s awsome series that can teach you,keep intersting and more others as more watching it. Must be renewed!!
Personally, I am very intrigued by this series–especially the greater mythological aspects of the story line; there hasn’t been much better on TV recently. I hope the series continues — I have seen every episode several times. It may be entirely too intellectual though for many viewers; they might not really understand what the writers of this show are really saying. Excellent production, one worthy of renewing–0ne worth of my time and attention. PLEASE keep it coming. +P
EXIT-STAGE LEFT!!!!!
