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?
This is why i hate watching TV. It happens too often. I fall in love with a GREAT show and someone in the office decides to cancel it. Dominion was GREAT!!!! And the way you have left the fans with no closure. There is no reason for me to watch Syfy anymore. I truly hope that it is picked up by another network or Netflix.
Dominion you have one great show and you cancel it WHOEVER YOUR PROGRAM DIRECTOR IS SHOULD BE DOWNSIZED AND REPLACED DUE TO A POOR PERFORMANCE REVIEW GOODBYE SYFY YOU ARE NOT RENEWED DUE TO BAD RATINGS .WILL NOT EVER WATCH YOUR CHANNEL AGAIN YOU WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC AUDIENCE WANTS EVEN IF HIT YOU IN THE HEAD YOU SHOULD NOT BE CALLED SYFY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TRULY LOST YOUR MISSION STATEMENT NOT A DUPLICATE STATEMENT

Figures. Every show I like on SyFy gets cancelled. Dominion and Defiance were my two favorite current shows on television. It is a real shame that SyFy seems to want to do low budget shows, “reality” ghost hunter shows, and nothing but junk anymore. SyFy has become pretty much a waste of air time. Great managementstyle, drive all of your loyal fans away!
check the ratings on their show bitten. less than 500.000 fans they renewed that stupid show dominion had near 1.000.000. fans. that dont make sense .??? i dont watch syfy any more but i do check their ratings, they have nothing left to watch.? syfy bring back dominion 1 or2 new writers and survive. ???
Dominion has been my best show from you guys. U cant just cancel it that way. Do some quick ending and that will be cool. By the way in not trusting you guys anymore why because u always cancel your best shows. I’m moving to HBO
I’m done with this channel. Dominion was the best show. Now they have stupid ghost hunting shows. Goodbye syfy
You cancel dominion and defiance but keep ghost hunters syfy thats bad judgement but you keep bombarding people with crappy reality tv except face off love that .oh and you keep smackdown damn syfy yo uhh losing me and i been there since mystery science theatre.
Woops, goofed, season THREE was cancled. I’m still “tee’d” off though.
My sister is right, you guys suck when you cancel a show when at first you sounded as though there was going to be a third season. What was up with that?????? I mean really, is the channel not called the Syfy channel. What’s so Scyfi about WEASELING!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous. OK I used to watch Supernatural cause I couldn’t decide if I had a crush on Dean or his brother ( see how well remembered that one is after, what 11 seasons. I got bored with it, but Dominion just started, I’m ready to wait 11 seasons to get bored with… Read more »
What a big mistake, I meant to say “WRESTLING” not Weaseling, though on second thought it fits too, LOL
Why does syfy dislike Dominion. They did not advertise it well. They did not merchandise it at all. Even though some of the fans have come up with beautiful merchandising ideas. You have been totally unfair to one of the best made shows on TV and certainly best made for syfy.. You say it’s numbers how can a show with good numbers fail. Just let syfy do it.
BRING IT BACK!!!!!! ratings will be up and down if it starts dropping them maybe the time slot is the issue try moving it another night, different time. WTH
syfy you plain suck.
I cannot believe they did this again. You get into a show and they pull the rug out from under you. Now you wonder, what happens to the characters, how would it end? Why can’t they get some warning that they are pulling the plug, maybe do a quick ending to satisfy the viewers. I enjoy a good scifi series, Dominion, Warehouse 13, Alphas, Defiance, Being Human….. Oh wait, they have all been cancelled. But Eureka made it 6 years, not the worst show and it had it’s moments but at least they were able to end it proper. Come… Read more »
Why does Syfy keep cancelling the good shows. Sure there are going to be up and down ratings. How do us as the viewers feel. You get into the story line and they pull the rug out from under you. Now you wonder, how does it end? What becomes of the characters. I think shows should get warnings if they are going to be cancelled so they can wrap up story lines. All shows have ups and downs. Can’t have great ratings all the time, but those of us that enjoy a good scfi show, will continue to watch. To… Read more »
