Compared to broadcast network television shows, Syfy’s offerings don’t draw large audiences. There is often a fine line between the ratings of cancelled and renewed Syfy TV series. Now the cable network is introducing its new Happy! TV show. Since it is based on the popular Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson graphic novel and has a relative big name in Christopher Meloni for its lead, can it attract sufficient viewers to be successful? Will Happy! be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A comedic Syfy crime drama with a whimsical touch of fantasy, Happy! stars Meloni with Patton Oswalt (voice), Lili Mirojnick, Joseph Reitman, Medina Senghore, Ritchie Coster, and Patrick Fischler. The first season cast also includes Debi Mazar, Bryce Lorenzo, Ren Colley, Alexander Jameson, Benjamin Snyder, Catherine LeFrere, and Michael Maize. Happy! centers on a former cop, Nick Sax (Meloni). Now a hitman more or less on the skids, Nick finds himself unmoored in a treacherous world full of murder and meaningless hook-ups. One day, though, his drunken, depressing existence is turned upside down by Happy (Oswalt), an imaginary unicorn, who is out to save the day. **Update below.

I love this show , can’t wait for season two, please keep going. xoxox
I love the show, perfect how it goes from funny to serious to dark
It was renewed with its overall live ratings above a 0.20. Let’s see if it can finish above that. Not that it really matters. Failure is Acceptable at SYFY
The show is great! Chris Meloni is terrific in it and I actually can’t wait til the next episode. Keep it on
Great show and easy to recommend, nice to see a show that has a good mix of bizarre, mad, funny and everything else that’s gone with it so far. I hope it gets another series. I will be telling my friends, family and strangers to give it a try! P.s it’s not for kids, even if it does have a blue flying cartoon unicorn in it!
This show is probably one of the best ever!! My wife and I literally look forward to seeing it! DVR is set!! It needs more time and better promotion. Seinfeld was about to be cancelled and he went on Howard Stern!!! Put Chris on Howard!! His audience will boost the ratings….Not many people are aware of this show….It’s not a matter of if it’s good!! It’s frickn great!! I’m literally SAD you’re cancelling season two!! This is worse than TV Land not resigning the Jim Gaffigan show for a second season, only this show is better!! Not the same category… Read more »
This show is weird, and gets weirder all the time. That’s why I love it! The fairy tale aspect combined with the raw violence and dark humor has a unique twist that is just refreshing. It’s such an escape! I hope it is renewed–what a shame ifit is not!
Best show ever love I can’t wait till it come back
The Ratings are good enough for a second season.
Love Happy
oh i love the show and hope there a many seasons of it
Great funny show!
Love it, another SYFY hit, one after another, love Canada shows!
Me and my husband love the show I want to see many more seasons!
Season 2 please! More chances to take down Blue amd ithers like him! More of Haley and Nick developing a relationship! More Happy! And his fellow IFs therapy group!
