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.

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?
I don’t watch it on cable as I don’t have cable..lol. If you all look up the website g2g, you can find extant. It is free and NO, I repeat NO commercials
i love this show. please do not cancel it. the writing is great. the acting is superior if they cancel this show , they should make a movie. it will only be successful if you use the same actors. please do not cancel. if they do i will never watch CBS again.
I live Extant and I want another season
CBS could cut down on so many ads. It would make it so much better for the viewer. Hallie is a great actress as well as the others who make this show so good.
I’ve watched this and a second season is something I would look forward to. Second season – vote is yes.
MUST HAVE A SECOND SEASON!!!! Absolutely amazing and interesting tv show. I will be so upset if they don’t do a second season.
Great show. Hope it gets renewed
please keep exant. please give it another season please don’t cancel. it is my husband and I tv date we always watch it faithfully every wednesday.
I am not surprised AT ALL that the show now has half its original viewership. In fact, I lost interest in the show dramatically after the first two episodes, almost in perfect correlation with the dwindling ratings. Weds 07/16/2014 -16.89% Weds 07/23/2014 -18.59% I don’t think it has ANYTHING to do with violence in the show at all. It has everything to do with the plot. It should have been a two part series. As in two episodes. This show had real potential but it completely fell apart. I would have bet my money week 3 that the show was… Read more »
It’s impossible to watch it with all the commercials. I find this show interesting. Just watched it in two days. I personally don’t like all the violence. I’m really truly sick of all the violence. This show just keeps getting more and more violent. Some great actors/characters I care about, but the more violent it gets, the more I want to turn off. I think that’s why the numbers are dwindling. We can find violence anywhere and she’s too fine an actress to do what is so common these days.
they should also count how many views on amazon prime. I have watched several episodes there.
I love this series. Please continue. It is a total source of communication for my 8 brothers and sisters all over the United States
I think Extant should have a second season, love showing this show, let keep this show going
If they cancel this I’ll be so upset. The commercial thing is crazy though. It’s so difficult to watch when it’s segmented like that.
Extant is a wonderful show! Finally a show I can watch. I’m so sick of horrible tv shows being popular. Crappy reality shows (real housewives,teen mom,etc)boring,repetitive sitcoms,the list goes on and on. Yet somehow these shows are actually popular, and that’s why I will not be surprised if they cancel extant. I like that this show has a few story lines,it makes it more exciting,but I guess some people get easily confused.and I think it’s ridiculous that people are criticizing the technology or lack there of(toothbrush not futuristic enough?)It’s about the story.It’s science fiction, that the beauty of it, it’s… Read more »
I love the show, but the problem is CBS. They put 30 minutes worth of ads in a 60 minute show. A show of this type that spends a lot of time building up to a plot point and then gets hit with 5 minutes worth of interruptions ruins your concentration flow. How can you keep the suspense at the level it would be if the show was on HBO when you’re seeing a commercial every five minutes? This doesn’t belong on commercial TV. The constant interruptions with 5 minutes of show followed by 5 minutes worth of commercials ruins… Read more »
Imagine you were watching Alien, but you had 5 minutes worth of interruption every 5 minutes. That movie was one of the best ever made, but it spent a lot of time on the psychological impact that characters experienced. Interrupt the whole movie every five minutes and it would destroy the movie. That’s IMO what’s happening here. If HBO were to pick it up and speed up the storyline, it would be incredible. The elements are there, a technology terrorism organization, alien invasion, a half alien child, an AI child, the aliens are coming for mankind and they’re hungry. The… Read more »
This show is awesome! The story line is different and it keeps me interested. I’m not one to get in to one particular show – there are only a seldom few that I have stuck around to watch every episode. I watched the first season in less than a week. The season finale is such a good ending, I’m ready for season 2! I immediately went online to see what the plans were for it and I hope it is decided that they continue with it! I highly recommend it. Check it out and give it until at least the… Read more »
