The angels have fallen. After two seasons, SyFy has canceled their supernatural drama Dominion, according to Variety.
Based on the 2010 film Legion, the series centered around a world where God’s gone and angels and humans battle for good and evil. The show debuted in 2014 and its second season concluded on October 1, 2015.
During its first season, Dominion became the most-viewed scripted series on SyFy, with an average 1.6 million viewers. However, even with strong numbers for the season opener, the ratings for season two declined steadily over the course of 13 episodes.
From the network, in a press statement:
Led by Vaun Wilmott, the talented cast, producers, writers and crew of ‘Dominion’ have done a tremendous job bringing this ambitious, cinematic series to the screen over the past two seasons. We thank them, as well as our producing partners Universal Cable Productions, Bold Films and Film Afrika.”
What do you think? Did you watch Dominion? Do you think it should’ve been canceled?
It really annoys me when a series is cancelled, rather than being ‘wound up’. Surely production channels owe it to those that do watch, to at least make additional episodes that give a series a proper ending – even if that’s just provided in 1 or 2 episodes, rather than an entire season. This has happened with so many now; Extant, Dracula and Dominion being just 3. It is REALLY irritating and disappointing 🙁
Why and how could you cancel Dominion? Right when things were changing., with questions. Please give us a good ending least .There was so much going on, so many questions were left unanswered. Give one more season. And you would make us all very happy. Many that knew were going to be cancelled, at least gave a good ending. And the questions were all answered. Can you do this for us, please. Esther
I think one theory for the drop off in viewership was no-one knowing their was 13 episodes. Season 1 had 9 episodes. Many figured the season was over after episode 10. I just learned there were three more episodes!!! Also, do they factor all of us who watch on internet streaming apps provided by our cable providers?
The ratings are all fake!
Managers tamper with the numbers. Just like the Volkswagen managers tampered with numbers…
They are just a bunch of rich criminals allowed to be above the law and no one stops them.
This totally sucks!!!! I really like this show and this season was going really god and I was looking forward to next season. Why cancel good shows? The only bummer was the death of the how archangel sister.
We had to wait how many years to get a sequel to Legion movie plot and characters,uh? The Dominion cast is excellent. The show is perfect. And Season3 with Lucifer would have been the core of the whole story. Someone sue SyFy over this scam! Enough with these managers getting away with these criminal acts! When a network cancels a show they are then selling a defective product! Any manager that cancels a show without allowing the production to deliver a proper ending is selling a defective product on purpose! It is like selling a book which had only a… Read more »
So now SyFy guilty managers are going to cancel 12Monkeys too, right? They canceled Helix after 2 seasons… they canceled Dominion after 2 seasons… Then 12Monkeys is next… The best productions.
Whoever can please throw some cabbage and fruit to these managers.
These are criminals just like Volkswagen ones.
Studios/networks accounting should get some proper checking… probably all of these managers would go in jail for the rest of their lives if the law existed.
Someone put these guilty managers in jail ! Enough with their dirty jobs and accounting tricks! Studios/network managers keep firing employees producing good shows and movies to then fake accounting and evade taxes. The ratings are fake as well.
These managers are a shame! They are just like the Volkswagen managers! They lie, they cheat, they steal! Shame on these criminals!
So sad! !!!! Please bring Dominion back. …. what are you thinking? ?? With all those viewers? ?? Who’s in charge over there? ?JUST SMARTEN UP
It’s was good!!! But I will prefer as a mini-series with a beginning and ending o well sort of …pay attention network please develop mini-series instead of full season of episodes
thats a good idea. a 4.5 hour mini series. that way season 2 would not be a waste. the writers were moving to slow. it started to look like more of soap opera.?? I CANT SEE WHY THEY TRUSTED SYFY TO MOVE SO SLOW ON THE ACTION THAT THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE HAD.??? writers are to blame has much has syfy.?? its like the old saying too slow.
This show was really one of my favorite evening viewing pleasures. I would hope that the producers reconsider cancelling such a fascinating series.
It just started to get real good now and moving with a lot of action. It just started to come together finally. Now they go and cancelled it after two years and to make matters worse they left us hanging with no end at all. Cancelled it the right way by wrapping up the show and the story lines. Very unhappy.

Season! Please
Well it was my favorite TV show, frees up my Thursday night.
It is rare that you find a beautifully written TV show with action, great character development, and superb acting performances. Dominion is one of those shows that had it all…fantasy, action, and meaningful story plots. SyFy you really made a huge mistake canceling Dominion. There was a huge fan family that guess what, watched the show live (watched all the stupid commercials when rewatching both On Demand and DVR), and participated in live tweet sessions with the cast and creators each episode. Syfy, the fan family is nominating Dominion and the very talented cast for The People Choice awards. Wouldn’t… Read more »
Indeed, the show was rich, textured and had great characters, but the ratings sucked so part of the problem was with the viewers. Don’t know what to do about that, but Dominion deserves another chance.
