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?
This is the best show I have ever come across! I can’t wait for more! And this season is ending too soon I want a Season 2!
it is on too late, the hubby is a stuttering idiot, reminds me of Doctor Oz and I’am not to fond of him either, the kid needs a good bolt of lightening and finish the little bugger off, too many commercials and on and on . I did like it once but it never gets any ware. Hally Berry needs to go on to something else. They are bringing her down. And I thought it was just me. It got CRAPPY!!! Good Luck Hally,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I can’t wait to see what happens next! The show is ending too soon for me (Season Finale Sept. 17, 2o14) I want more! Please give us a second season.
We’re all willing to suspend disbelief to a certain extent in watching this kind of show, but credibility in this series has declined with each episode. There is not even any inner logic, and some moments are downright laughable. (Like Molly’s 7-month old baby being delivered prematurely after the car accident and looking like a healthy 3-month old.) Lots of good actors and some cool visuals entirely wasted. Have mercy on everyone concerned and kill this now.
I LOVE the people chosen to play the parts! Halle & Goran are both excellent in their work. But I am a bit amazed if they read the scripts and story line ahead of time, that they would have accepted these acting positions. It doesn’t matter how great the actors are if the writers can’t draw you in. I have watched faithfully every episode. I am trying to be fair & give ample opportunity for the program to get better. Sadly, it seems to be dragging its bottom…the story gets nowhere…makes little sense…one feels like we are constantly waiting on… Read more »
I have admit that Extant is/has been somewhat slow in story development and while I would like to see a second season with more continuity and perhaps a faster pace, stop dragging everything out and get on with the story, I’m not sure a second season is going to happen. Also curious to know why just the 18-49 age group is being monitored. Do TV execs think that if you are over 49 your opinion doesn’t count? Quite frankly the over 49 age group probably has the most buying power to purchase the items being pawned on the commercials and… Read more »
Unfortunately, almost all advertisers count the 18-49 demographic the most important. Those are what the advertisers want…the show’s success depends on advertising revenue…and thus many shows those of us who are not in that demo love get canceled. How shall I put this eloquently? Sucks!
I love this show with its all too real futuristic happenings and devices. Halle Berry does an excellent job playing astronaut, Molly Woods , who is both sensitive and tough when she has to be. Ethan is superb as an android with such little boy feelings. Such a cute kid ! There is a surprise at every turn , and each show leaves me wondering what will happen next! Please give us another season of Extant!
I love this show. I hope it is renewed. Halle Berry is amazing.
Love the show. It’s awesome. Love all the story lines. Ethan is adorable too. Very suspenseful. Only show on that I religiously watch — other than Game of Thrones.
Each week the show gets better and better; LAST NIGHT WAS EPIC!!!! Don’t cancel please!!!!!
CBS has this show scheduled ALL messed up! And that delay last night did NOT help with the rating. Ugh. I really hope they renew Extant. I’m loving the show.
Love the show, especially Ethan. I think the producers should put more emphasis on him. The other story line is unnecessarily drawn out.
*seems..a new show would be more careful of scheduling
Please renew! Excellent show. Give it a chance.. I noticed the programming schedule messed up a few times.. unsure when show would be on.. was not according to tv schedule.. why? Send a new show would be more careful of that!
This has got to be one of the worst shows to air in a long-long time, and it belongs to be shelved in a place far-far away. It is boring beyond belief and has some of the worst acting – that sadly includes Halle Barrie who over-acts through most of it – though it’s not really her fault, it’s just that the script truly is THAT bad! The story line also has sooooo many errors and stupid mistakes as to make one cringe and make it nearly impossible to watch. It’s like finger nails on a chalk board – only… Read more »
Dear Mr. MOUS:
You are right. Little of the plot makes sense. The characters here are bland beyond belief, and the writing is soooo badd. Very disappointing. Berry’s a good actress and they’ve squeezed life out of her. The kid is cute, but kids do tend to grow. Do robots? What then?
Well Anon…if you write for a living it might be nice if you break up your rant into paragraphs so your “critique” isn’t as long-winded as the show you’re reviewing. I’m guessing Steven Spielberg knows how to write science fiction. And for those of us loving the show, myself included, maybe we’re less interested in the plastic storage boxes (yes, I noticed them too; maybe they’re considered retro! 😉 )…but I digress…. For me, this story is more character driven…more relationship driven…which is what pulls me in. The futuristic aspects are the cool factor. I love the medical tests they’ve… Read more »
no edit button. So..
as the show you imply is long-winded in your comment.
doctors…not doctor’s
The best show I’ve seen in a very long time. Very engaging storyline.
Wish the run time could have been more uniform and not so late. Has great potential. Please bring it back for a second season .
I love the show and hope it will stay on!
