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?
Totally pissed at Syfy for canceling Dominion. Season 2 was better than season 1, give a show more time before canceling. Shows will not get the viewshiip they once did because of all the media outlets available today. There is time to change this terrible decision.
I agree that all there is trashy reality shows and when they finally show a good series, they cancel it. I hope they change their mind. I loved dominion.
Seems to me that syfy is going through a crisis of faith, meaning it does not know what to put their money into, they will probably just do as other networks does, drop the more serious and good shows and get some stupid brainless and pointless comedy shows to replace them, some kind of parody of star trek or something like that. It is alsways thus, that networks remove the greater shows and bring in new idiotic shows and try and try and try and never stick with shows and never get to 7th or 8th season, unless it is… Read more »
their going to cancel Z NATION to. TWD is running previous sunday rerun on friday night at same time has Z nation. that is going to kill the ratings for Z nation. but seriously some one has to find out how BITTEN syfys lowest rated show got a 3rd season with less than 500.000 viewers. and that show sucks. dominion was a hell of good show writers were slow. next time willmott less hubris.
I am really disappointed. you know I am starting to feel someone’s footprint here. you see all the shows that talk about things that are like taboo, they get cancelled! just like Constantine. cancelled after just 1 season of great story. and Dominion gets cancelled after 2? and just hen it introduces Lucifer? I think this is pure force from behind the scenes! otherwise why Syfy or any other station would cancel such great show? …really weird….hope some BRAVE station picks it up!
Many shows such this one are seen on video release and so the true audience is never fully captured by outdated viewer metrics.
SyFi is making a huge mistake and decisions like these will spell the eventual end of the station, for once fans believe that you have broken the unspoken promise between themselves and the story tellers, i.e. SyFi, they will no longer take the time to invest in them any longer.
SyFy is canceling most of its scripted shows. I guess they want more time for reality show trash and WWE. Shame on them and their shortsightedness.
I am incredibly dissapointed only watch up to where Michael figures out lucifire is alive and then nothing at least finish the series syfy how can you expect anyone watching to take any interest in the shows you put on if your just going to cancel them without warning and not even with a conclusion to the currant storyline you have left fans like myself hoping there is going to be more and theres not please sort something out i have lost all faith in your channel because of this at the very least we fans of dominion deserve a… Read more »
Why is it that all of the shows that I like get cancelled. Plus, how are they going to cancel it right when they introduce Lucifer; he is the character that all of us viewers have been waiting on. When they showed a glimpse of him at the end of the season 2 finale, I got all excited and just couldn’t wait for the original O.G. to wreck havoc on earth. The cancellation is so disappointing. I loved the relationship between Michael and Gabriel, to me they were the best part of the show. Tom Wisdom and Carl Beukes portrayed… Read more »
I am soooo torn up over this, this happens all the time now and it’s ridiculous! I’ve become so attached to the characters on this show and I really hope another network or Netflix picks it up. That’s what happened with the Dracula, it was cancelled after the first season and fans started a huge petition asking for another network to pick it up and I think I was Netflix that picked it up and that was only after 1 season. Dominion deserves to be on the air! Soooooo UPSET!!!!
It’s so sad to see such great shows cancelled without letting it have some sort of conclusion. It makes me not want to watch anything new that hasn’t made it to its third season.
Give the show to Netflix they’ll do it justice
Oh please, say it’s not so. I love the show and you can’t just leave us hanging in the air wondering about Alex, Michael and Gabriel’s futures and what Alex’s role in the future as to bringing God back. You are truly cruel slamming on the breaks in mid air. At least give us a 2 hour ending so we can be series satisfied.
Why SyFy would cancel a great show and leave really BAD paranormal ghost hunter stuff on is beyond me; they had an amazing cast and writing, I work at night so I had to DVR it, do those viewers count in the ratings. On the few times I was able to watch it live I had a ball tweeting along with cast members. SyFy…please take the crap off your channel and put good, well written and acted shows on in their place, like Season 3 of Dominion.
I think the show was great and to cancel was a bad decision.
I think the show deserves to be on.
I cannot believe this, it is crap, My daughter and I Watched it and loved it and what an ending to end on and then cancel u morons, now we will never know what happened totally pissed off at Syfy cancelling this and many other shows that were never allowed to conclude, Will not b watching any more shows on Syfy I’m done,
