When it comes to scripted TV shows, Syfy has had both hits and flops. Which of the current series will be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Syfy execs consider a lot of data when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series, but ratings are a major factor.
Scripted Syfy Network shows listed: 12 Monkeys, Aftermath, The Ark, Astrid & Lilly Save the World, Bitten, Blood Drive, Channel Zero, Childhood’s End, Chucky, Continuum, Dark Matter, Day of the Dead, Deadly Class, Defiance, Dominion, The Expanse, Ghost Wars, Happy!, Haven, Helix, Hunters, Incorporated, Killjoys, Krypton, Lost Girl, The Magicians, Nightflyers, Olympus, Reginald the Vampire, Resident Alien, Superstition, SurrealEstate, Vagrant Queen, Van Helsing, Wynonna Earp, and Z Nation.
Last updated: Most recent ratings added for The Ark.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
Dominion great entertainment may not watch any sci fi channel show if cancelled
omg u axe dominion when so many people watch this program around the world (NOT JUST IN THE USA )u really need to sort your self s out as i now lost all faith that syfy is a channel for the people programs and not a quick buck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u are as bad as the ****** big brother program hope u sleep well knowing u lost all faith in the people that loved syfy channel when the morels was right !!!!!!!!
I am disgusted with syfy. Not only do they not allow Canada to stream their site but to cancel shows like they have tells me they don’t care about their viewers and only in it to make a quick dollar then cancel the shows to make a crappy show to do it again with that one. These are the money hungry people that should be put out of business and or fired. I am never going to watch another show through them.
I am disgusted that SyFy has decided to trash Dominion.
I just signed the petition, “Netflix: Save Dominion.”
I think this is important. Will you sign it too?

I am getting to the point were I feel why bother getting into watching a show as it is going to get cancelled when I like it, and with out any kind of resolution more often than not. Firefly got like 15 episodes and there is S**t out there on 4th or more season. Farscape loved it religiously watched 4 seasons cancelled on a cliffhanger WTF. Ok I know those 2 got a ending in peacekeeper wars and Serenity. But how many don’t. Mays well wait until a show completely airs and has a conclusion before watching it. I know… Read more »
Defiance – cancelled
Stupid idiots!
Shtako!
Please renew Defiance! Love the cast and characters. I also would like to see Olympus renewed. I realize I am not in your demographic range as I am in the over 49 age group, but I find both of these shows to be very entertaining.
My vote is to renew Defiance. Even if I miss a showing I can’t wait to go back and watch with SyFy on demand. Awesome story line and actor / actresses.
Renew Defiance! Renew Defiance!
After yesterday’s devastating news regarding the cancellation of Dominion, plus the absolute lack of cooperation or even a slight response from SyFyTv, It is with Absolute Urgency that Defiance must be RENEWED! Defiance has such a wonderful array of Cast Members, Crew and Vofans. The talent, dedication and the absolutely unique unity that the characters portray in the show is perfection in itself. This does not include the relentless dedication that the Vofans have when voicing their opinions on why Defiance needs to be Renewed. With amazingly talented artists who showcased their art, clever memes and daily tweets….. It would… Read more »
Please renew Defiance! Dominion was just canceled and has me worried that they will do the same to Defiance.
Please renew dark matter 🙂
Renew Defiance ! I want to see Nolan’s & Doc Yewll’s adventure in space… And now Berlin & Irisa are the Law Keepers. I still miss Tommy ! And hey, get some more people out of those lifepods… The Omec left a Doc Yewll clone and all the Omec Tech behind ! Two Doc Yewlls & what happened to VanBach ? It’s a very engaging show – much better than Deep Space 9, at least as good as Star Gate & both of those shows had many more years on TV. DEFIANCE has SyFy’s highest ratings. And OMG, more about… Read more »
New Dominon
I agree. After subjecting viewers to 5 seasons of WH 13 they owe the fans. Oh yeah and for taking lost girl. Oh yeah alphas too. Yeah I would say syfy owes the viewers for Wed night’s lineup too.
Please renew Dominion, Defiance. It’s easy to bring Nolan back so we can have another season fo Defiance with no problem.
