It used to be a big deal when a movie star starred in a TV show. Now, they get cancelled just as quickly as any other series. How will Halle Berry and Extant do on CBS? Will it be renewed for season two or will it be cancelled after one short season? Stay tuned.
On Extant, astronaut Molly Woods (Berry) returns to Earth after a year-long solo mission in outer space. Her reunion with her family is thrown into turmoil when it’s learned that she’s pregnant. Others in the cast include Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Camryn Manheim, Grace Gummer, and Michael O’Neill.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
10/9 update: Extant has been renewed for a second season CBS.
Final season averages: 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.15 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Extant TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
It started off strong, meaning just the first episode. But the artificial life story plus the alien baby story seem to have little if anything related to each other. The show doesnt mash well and I love Halle Berry but she isnt really ever given anything interesting to do or say. Her and her husband have no on screen chemistry. The plot and character motivations are silly and erratic at best. I dont need spoon feeding but it doesnt even seem like the show knows what it’s about. My personal opinion is since we have a “academy” award winning actress… Read more »
Boring, slow plot movement. Cancel.
Great just found it… Want to see more… Please
Excellent show & hopefully it will be renewed for another season…………or more?!? We have 3 generations watching this series & we all like it!!
Most boring show ever!! Renew if you want, but I won’t be watching.
Please renew this show as it gets more and more compelling. I wish the polls would include and older section of demographics as we watch a lot of TV since most of us are or about to be retired, so lots of time to do so and juge the quality of a show without needing bombs, fireworks, fire and egotistical reality shows. Last, I wish they would also include the Canadian viewership as we are pretty much watching the same shows. I’m sure the results would be different. Halle Berry is great as always in this show as are all… Read more »
Sorry to say, they never include an older audience because they believe they don’t buy anything from the advertisements, more young shoppers watching the tv show and advertisements which help to increase sales and the advertisement itself increase in value. But if you are retired and on a fixed income, you don’t shop as much, and no longer become the target audience. Horrible way to to value the previous generation that raised us.
Definitely Renew. It’s getting better and better. Lots of loose ends that I want to see how they resolve. I agree with the flaw of ratings in the over 49 category not counting. Outrageous. We are the baby boomers! They catered to our group but now think we don’t count. Hello! We are still the group that has the money to shop and are now home watching TV instead of out partying or saving money for kids college. It sucks that they care more about age than overall viewers.
Right on, Karen! My husband and I are in the 49+ category. We like this show although I do agree that the husband and wife have absolutely no chemistry on screen. I think it’s Goran rather than Halle. He’s basically playing the same character as he did in E.R. Kill him off, bring in a new leading man for Halle and continue with Ethan and “the baby,” whatever it is.
Retired male but wife and I both like the program. Unusual since my wife does not normally enjoy science fiction but this is the exception. Hope they will renew for next season.
Love the show & can’t wait to see more!!! Do not cancel!!! It would be a great loss, I’m getting really tired of loosing shows that I like & look forward to watching again next season!!!!
We love it. And would be totally bummed if it was cancelled.
CANCEL IT NOW! I only watch it because in the summer it’s not much on TV. You can’t understand the story line. It’s modern day yet futuristic? It sucks! Sorry Halle.
A little confusing, and a bit slow, just is not progressing fast enough for me, leaving too much hanging. But, I do like it and do watch it every week, need a little more info to convince me to keep watching much longer.
I think Extant should be renewed. It is a great series and very compelling.
i would hate for it to be scrapped without a conclusion to all the various threads that been created. What is the point of having a series if they never reach a conclusion. In future viewers will wait until the whole series has been transmitted before watching just in case it cancelled. There is nothing worse than watching a series only to find thata it has been canned without n ending!!
Totally agree!! There’s nothing more frustrating!!
I’m am a baby boomer and there are millions of us who watch TV. But apparently our ratings aren’t what they look for; they’re just interested in the 18-49. I watch on air nights when not working and catch up watching on cable on demand when I have to work. My eves are glued to the TV every second not to miss anything! I look forward to see what happens next! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!
Worst TV show ever. It is like a bad dream. Would rather watch masterpiece theater on PBS which I can’t stand either but wife loves Extant for some reason. Bring back BJ and the bear reruns in exchange for this crap.
Your wife loves a show and you want it removed? Figures…..
love this show…. please dont cancel. I would for it to have a second season.
