Last year, the Dominion TV show had the highest-viewership of any scripted series on Syfy. Will it continue to do well in its second season? Will the ratings go up or down? Cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
Based on the characters from the Legion movie, Dominion takes place 25 years into the future, 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, Alan Dale, Anthony Head, Roxanne McKee, Luke Allen-Gale, Shivani Ghai, and Carl Beukes.
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.
10/14 update: Syfy has cancelled the Dominion TV series after two seasons. Details here.
Final season averages: 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 870,000 total viewers.

For comparisons: The first season of Dominion averaged a 0.47 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.6 million viewers.
What do you think? Do you like the Dominion TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a third season?
I agree with everyone. They should take into consideration the viewers opinion and make another season. Dominion was one of their best shows.
This show must come back so please bring this amazing show back please
Guys, let’s sign this petition and hope it works!

Just one thing. If they were to cancel the show, they could, at least, have given it an ending, even with only 2 seasons. It is not worthy to let the millions of fans around the globe with no answers. I’m brazilian and I loved the show, and I think all the fans deserved better from SyFy channel. I endorse the many askings. SyFy, please reconsider your decision.
I’m sure i speak for many devoted fans of the show when i say they really should make a 3rd season.
I love that show as im sure others do, it was one of the few remaining shows that i watch nowadays, i would be very devastated if they didnt make another season, for me that show, that world of Dominion was a much loved escape from reality.
I really hope they continue with it, the show and its actors were all brilliant and it would be sad to have to say goodbye to them.
Agreed. I think everyone has voiced their opinion as to the unfairness of ScFy in canceling Dominion and leaving us all hanging. We just need to keep hurassing them and either they will do something or maybe someone else will. Please, ScyFy, let us down easy, not smashing to the asphalt face first like you have.
Syfy seems to be the burial place for most series. If they must cancel Dominion for whatever reason, why not at least allow it to wrap up a final ending to the story. I’m tired of the cliffhanger tactics of Syfy. Compared to Dominion, other series have little appeal in my opinion. They continue to put on new series that will eventually be canceled as well. I have lost all interest in tuning into this cable network. They have a bad habit of cutting off everything at the neck without a finish.
My sentiments exactly…
Brian Fire you are clearly in the minority here and if you are a writer, you have terrible punctuation and grammar. Obviously, comprehensive grammar skills are not necessary in script writing but if you want to be taken seriously in this forum as a writer, I suggest you learn to use proper syntax and grammar. Dominion was the best show on the SYFY channel in my opinion. I agree other well informed commenters who believe TV shows like Z nation are mindless trash but that is what the public wants and by golly– they are getting it!
I don’t mind being in the minority Michael…I’m also not a follower, like yourself. It’s also NOT about trying to make a popular comments…it’s about honesty. I invested my time watching the show as well as writing articles about it. I have written many articles and invested much time watching BETTER TV shows. This particular one, looked interesting after viewing the trailer. That was the best part….the trailers. Does attacking my fast reply’s change the dynamics of what I wrote? Does it bring a failing show back? I don’t remember insults getting a show back on the air…but you are… Read more »
You are entitled to your opinion as are we all. But you seem to have ignored the point that myself and a number of others have tried to make. Season 2 was barely publicised. Its positioning in the schedule, stuck behind Smackdown and coinciding with part of the American football season made it prone to be viewed on demand rather than at actual broadcast time. And the most important fact of all. People are getting a little tired of the entire world other than 18-49 year olds in the US being totally ignored. The show has a huge global following,… Read more »
Hils…I didn’t just pop up making my comments. I wrote articles about Dominion and followed the show from day one. I was hoping it would succeed…till I saw where the direction of the show was headed. I wasn’t ignoring what folks wrote. You are only dealing with the show from the perspective that supports YOUR wants. Thats okay but that isn’t how things work. I called it when there were issues with the show where die hards were okay with those issues. Those unchecked issues end up being bigger issues. That is what I see happening here. I expected this… Read more »
I’m not arguing from an emotional stand point at all, except in the view that I am upset a great show that I loved and invested time in has been cancelled. Thats where the emotional side of it ends. I’m giving my opinion, which is all I can do, as you are giving yours. What we thought of Dominion is just our own view to which we are entitled. The actual facts are correct. SyFy shows with less viewers have been renewed, and I can only theorise that this was based purely on financial considerations. And its a fact that… Read more »
The reason I said your posts were emotional is because they are. You are a die hard fan who refuses to accept that the show got cancelled because it was not performing well. If it was a good show and was performing…it would still be on. Other shows in their lineup are still on. It also costs a LOT of money to put on a show…so the concept of shooting more episodes to tie up a failing show doesn’t make any sense. ONLY a die hard would make such a comment. It’s not costing you anything. For the network, It’s… Read more »
Thats exactly where we differ. I’m prepared to accept you didn’t like the show, you are not prepared to accept there is a large fanbase who did. You keep referring to us as “a few diehard fans”. We have a huge global fanbase currently co ordinating a campaign to have Netflix pick up Dominion. Season 2 was barely promoted, thats a fact. Its schedule was moved, thats a fact. Neilson is an antiquated method of audience measurement taking one demographic in one country into account, thats a fact. Dominion is not the only show cancelled. Defiance was cancelled. Constantine and… Read more »
I’d just like to say can’t believe dominion is cancelled and z nation gets a 3Rd series the show is rubbish it’s trying to be like the walking dead it’s got no chance whilst dominion is good and deserves to at least be finished properly with a final season to finish it like hell on wheels andfalling skies was I mean they say no more but one last season everyone getting tired of series being cancelled with no proper ending I wonder what would happen if we all ask for a refund of our cable service as we the ones… Read more »

I do not live in the States. Poor rating system as we live in a global village now and so you need a wider net to get your figures SyFy. Dominion was such a refreshing change from the usual. I was so enthralled with the characters and story. I am so disappointed to have the story just end on a cliffhanger. I really hope that someone else picks Dominion up and continues the story. I never saw any advertising of the show and only happened on it by chance. I was hooked and now what a let down. Just another… Read more »
The problem is Netflex isn’t free as we all know. I hear it’s gone up to $10.00 a month. I’m not keen about that when cable programming costs continue to go up at a fast pace.
I also agree with Sgt. Harris, even though Dominion is not bibically based; it does let you see what could become of the world without God in it. I believe that there are angels and there is an angelic order. Michael and Gabriel are being portrayed extremely well by both actor’s. Please consider a 3rd season for Dominion. In some way this series is showing the truth of what may come our way. Thank you and God Bless.
I think as a licensed Missionary it will give young and old people some view of what it could look like after the rapture. I love dominion; it may not be Biblically based; but it shows a lot of the chaos that will be real. Please continue this series!!! With or without the writer knowing this I believe is part of the Lords will. To show what could happen. STAY BLESSED AND RETURN DOMINION.
Vaun Wilmott created something wonderful, and the amazing cast brought it to life. Its an epic story that needs to be continued, and SyFy will bitterly regret the fact they killed it off unfinished like they did. Still campaigning for Netflix to pick it up. It was such a worldwide hit, despite the fact the rest of us outside the US were never even considered in the ratings. 65 million subscribers would give it the kind of global audience it deserves.
