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?
Great show and NO, I was not surprised at cancelation. Most TV producers are only concerned with making money and you can’t do that with such low ratings.
This was a FANTASTIC show!!! SYFY is NUTZ to cancel it! This shows creator and writers have AMAZING Imaginations! (do you remember what that word ‘IMAGINATION’ means SYFY reps?) There are SOO many shows right now about “space” and Earth’s colonization, but this show is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY UNIQUE in its version of Earths obviously Imminent alien occupation! SYFY has a few other GREAT shows, but the Science Fiction generas fans woukd enjoy more than Just a FEW Great shows to look forward to each week!!!
Sadly, Syfy seems to be losing its roots. A fair proportion of non Sci-fi content (mainly movies and lowbrow ghost hunting shows), huge amounts of repeats of ancient shows (Buffy, Star Trek, which is forgivable as it is real sci-fi). Meanwhile all of the shows which require a little effort to follow, such as Hunters, are cancelled. This is the SCI-FI channel. Show Sci-fi!.!
To damned bad! It seams that any show that requires a little brain power to keep up gets the heave ho. On all channels not just syfy. BOO HISS BOO on Syfy.
Dammit Syfy…I was soooooooo looking forward to a Season 2 of Hunters. Sniff Sniff…ya’ll are on my last nerve with this cancellation. ☹
I can not believe another excellent series has been cancelled! Pretty soon the only thing left on the air will be the stupid syfy movies the cannel has produced over the years which I am sure have flopped and the great series they have had cancelled….
I cannot believe this excellent series is cancelled…I am now watching it on episode 5 and its got me hooked…VFX and FX and the amazing creatures etc….stories well done too. I hope another network or Amazon can support it.
I cant understand why your canceling the show. this was one of the best programs we have seen in a long time. i hope you reconsider cancelling it and decide to bring it back. we have only seen three episodes so i cant understand about poor ratings when it hasnt even aired very long. I would love to be one of those couples that go on the run…we would make it no doubt !!
Just checking to see when Hunters Season 2 will be on and find out it has been canceled! Bummer! Hunters was a cool show. Bring it back!
I really liked this show. I’m no professional TV critic, but some of the crappy shows that stay on the air perplex me. I found Hunters to be a very compelling show. Sorry to see it go.
Getting absolutely fed up to the back teeth with companies such as yours. Commission a show and expect it to pull in millions of viewer’s within the first few episodes, or it will not be renewed for a second season. I am willing to bet not even Game of Thrones managed that. What happened withing giving a series time to build a fan Base? I mean what sort of viewing figures did you really expect on a niche channel like syfy? I will not be investing anymore of my time on channels like yours in the future. At least on… Read more »
