Looks like Syfy has terminated Hunters. Variety reports the network has cancelled the new series after one season.
The sci-fi series followed the Exo-Terrorism Unit, a secret government organized dedicated to stopping an alien terrorist cell. The cast included Nathan Phillips, Laura Gordon, Shannon Berry, Britne Oldford, Lewis Fitz-Gerald, Mark Coles Smith, Gareth Davies, and Julian McMahon.
During its 13-episode run, the show received poor ratings, earning an average of only .08 in the 18-49 demo rating and 315,000 viewers.
What do you think? Did you watch Hunters? Are you surprised it was cancelled?
I enjoyed Hunters….and Helix…too bad
We loved Hunters and are really sick of getting involved in a Syfy show and having them cancelled. Hunters is great show! So was Helix. Seriously Syfy, give a show a chance!
I actually liked being able to see both Hunters AND 12 Monkeys… that said,WHY kill off decent scripted sci Fi dram in favor of ” Reality TeeVee and Cheese Whiz shows?
I enjoyed the show. I’m not sure why shows like this get cancelled, when shows involving “time-travel” (utter nonsense) continue on.
Very disappointed to hear that HUNTERS has been cancelled. It is much better than some of the other Syfy shows. The advertisers are too concerned with the younger viewers, like Steve said. Julian McMahon was brilliant and the remainder of the cast was superb. Syfy – Bring HUNTERS back for at least one more season!
I am VERY annoyed with the execs. This show-and ALL of its cast-was awesome. PLEASE bring it back. Britne Oldford and Julian McMahon are great!

I actually liked Hunters. It has been a great summer diversion.
Well of course it got lousy ratings. Most shows that air on Monday at 11 PM CST get lousy ratings. Obviously SF gave up on the show about midway through the season. A pity, as it allowed the viewer to think about things. IMO
I was very disappointed to find out that Hunters was cancelled. I enjoyed watching the show and will miss the characters. It’s upsetting not to be able to find out what has happened to the characters.
The ratings demographics are off. They ignore the aging population. All of us boomers are over 50 now, and we made Star Trek what it is. America is aging. The 50 – 60 year old population is now a relevant market share and it is being ignored.
We loved watching the show. The ending didn’t close very well so maybe it will return.
Great show killed by sorry time slot.
Shameful studios mafia! Shame on you studios managers! You need to be put in jail where you mafia people belong along with the fake ratings of yours to justify your criminal actions when stealing shareholders money!
The 0.10 barrier for renewal remains UNBROKEN for the moment. Hunters has been CANCELLED! Sanity prevails.
I figured that was coming when it was bumped from 10 PM to Midnight.
