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.

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?
I’m so upset that Bitten has been cancelled it was a great show.. please reconsider and bring it back on the cast was awesome.. bring Bitten back.
Please we want Dominion and Defiance back
I love these shows including Lost Girls
I’m still pouting over the end of SyFy’s Eureka!
At least we got five great seasons. I honestly think it could of gone on for another five.
Great characters – fun & quirky episodes. Glad I own all five seasons. I never get tired of watching them.
All the new SyFy shows are so dark and not fun to watch. I have all of Colony on my DVR. Now that I know it has been renewed I will watch.
I can’t believe Dominion and Defiance have been cancelled…they really had no endings…why can’t they do final story lines instead of just cancelling shows? I liked both of these…such a shame.
I can’t believe Bitten is being cancelled. The show is amazing, and we need shows that has a strong woman role model. This show has it. I wish a better station (like CW} would pick up Bitten and show Syfy how to promote a series. Way to Syfy! Crapped all over another show I really enjoyed.
Bitten is a Canadian owned show (space), they chose to end it after 3 seasons. syfy just picked it up to fill in some space.
We want Dominion Back…
I think all of these programs should be produced as a limited series. 12 episodes. We can have clear beginnings, middles, and ends. No cancellations.
SYFY has a habit of canceling excellent series and ending many after 4 or 5 seasons. Since they end many of my favorites but keep the so-called reality on there they lost me as a long time viewer. They are destroying themselves that way.
I was under the impression that it was Haven’s ending season, not it’s cancellation. All episodes ordered were shown and the plotline had ended, as was mandated by production. No cliffhangers, no cancellations. Also, it was advertised as Haven’s final season. I respectfully request that its status is changed on the Syfy chart.
I would have liked to see their junk reality shows in the list for comparison. I know they’re continuing to lose viewers, and I know they look everywhere but in the mirror for someone to blame. A short few years ago, they had a chance to take feedback as constructive criticism and channel that into making the network better. Instead they chose to ban their critics from their FaceBook page, and when that backfired, they hired a “Reputation Management” company to try to clean up their mess. It wasn’t long before they closed their forums. They’ve since abandoned their G+… Read more »
I think Defiance is brilliant as a person who doesn’t like SYFY programmes I think personally that it should renewed for a final season to give it closure. But SYFY wont do this Very disappointed.
bring dominion back!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE BRING DOMINION BACK! Get rid of all those crappy reality shows and bring back a show with substance, moral issues and just good entertainment and amazing writing.
If the shows don’t have a diverse casting, meaning at least one black female lead it should be canceled. Good job syfy in canceling Dominion, Bitten, and Haven. The Magicians should go too. Please start put diversity back in your programming. You’re a science fiction network for the love of God. America is made of many different skin tones, not just white.
It’s just as absurd to say that a show should be cancelled without a “black female” lead. What’s so special about black females compared to whites, Asians, or Latinas.
Yep but hey thats just how some people are bitten was great IT SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN CANCLED bad move
Nice way to be racist miamy great attitude you have their very appealing
Just to be clear though get the facts straight before you diss stuff
(Considering)…. BITTEN had a character … His name was LOGAN im pretty sure he wasnt WHITE as you said he was also a main character in season 1 and in pretty much every episode
People like you are really something miamy
Allow me to say it like you would though
Logan off bitten was BLACK NOT WHITE
Have a nice day miamy
The magicians are amazings love the show ! <3
Dear Syfy. I am so DISAPPOINTED in you. Ĺost girls is only show you are cancelling that I agree upon.All the ones you are keeping suck. I love BITTEN,HAVEN,DOMINION,ETC. All except one you are cancelling I watch and the ones you are keeping I don’t watch any of them. I have no reason to watch your station anymore
have never seen Bitten but do love Dominion and Defiance…wish they’d give us a clear ending to the shows and then let them merely end…not into all these same on same things and reality shows so I won’t be watching much of the channel any longer either.
