Last summer, CBS had high hopes for Extant but the show didn’t do very well in the ratings. They renewed it (in part becuase of a streaming deal with Amazon) but a lot of changes were made behind and in front of the camera. Were the changes a good idea? Will Extant be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
Extant, began when astronaut Molly Woods (Halle Berry) returned 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. This season, the cast includes Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Pierce Gagnon, Grace Gummer, and David Morrissey.

What do you think? Do you like the Extant TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love the new male lead and story line. I think the two of them have great chemistry. Please renew for another season. I love this show. Thank you.
Im finally getting the hang of extant, and I’ve heard that comment from other people. The first season was difficult to follow, and now it’s coming together and I look forward to the next season. (Bring it back!)

I’ve been trying to like this season but I am not getting into it. I’m not finding any of the characters likeable, the most likeable is Irritating at best. It’s a bad sign when I root for the government agency over the heroine and hero of the show.
We love this show. Please renew!!!!!
renew! Please. I streamed all of them on Amazon and want the show to continue.
Loved the first season and am loving the second season! Hope it is renewed!
Love this show! Hope it continues!
Love this show . Season two is significantly better!
I think the 2nd Season has a much better feel to it. The pace is much better, the minor characters have stronger stories emerging as the episodes move along. The chemistry with Halle and Jeffrey Dean, works well. I am little concerned where the writers will leave his character at the end of the season. (especially now he will go onto The Good Wife) I think as whole they are still making som miss steps on pubicising this show. You can not only trot out Halle and Jeffrey Dean on talk shows, but you also need to get Grace, Tyler,… Read more »
I was about to give up on season 2 however last nights show 7/22/15 proved to be worthy of season 1. Please keep them coming.
So far, Season 1 had more warmth, wonder, and better writing. This Season 2 is lacking that, even though there’s more action.
Extant was really good. Really like the new male lead, he and Ms. Berry characters play well together. Looking forward to more of season 2.
I watched Extant last year and liked it but thought it should be a one season show, I had concerns of a drawn out series. I taped the show last night and will see if my fears come true.
Liked last nites episode. Like the new
Male lead. Love Halley berry.
Keep up the good work.
Great show last year but I guess they felt the need to add Jeffrey Dean Morgan (from Magic City, another great show, cancelled way to soon!). Last nights episode was very exciting and hope more people get into this excellently written alien concept!! I guess he bring a little excitement with a little humor to the show!! They did a good job tying this new story line with last years!!!
