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?

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?
R.I.P. Haven. Sad over the news. I knew Syfy would not continue with it. Even if ratings were better.
Oh they better NOT cancel Dominion. Or I’ll send the 8-Balls to get them.
This is the most racist show so far for 2015. They take a bunch of black people and paint them a dark shade of purple, but make sure you can still identify them as black, give them the click language of actual Africans, put them on a ship like the African migrants arriving at the European shores, and then have them be horrible cannibals that feed off white people. Topping all that, they make their women out to be sexual predators. Yeah, the producers might as well be wearing white hoods.
ROTF! That’s great satire. Yet…I’m sure some PC color obsessed minion would actually think you’re serious. The Omec are the technologically & physically superior species in the known Defiance known universe. Besides….Ever tried A Castithan on a Ritz? Yum!
I love Dominium. This is my favorite show ever. I watched first season in 2 days. I didn’t know about it. Season 2 is even better. I have to recorders because I’m not home at 10 pm, but can’t go bed if I don’t watch it first. I really hope they make season 3. Love it 10 stars.
Dominion is the best!!! Only reason the numbers are going down is because people are using other ways to watch besides right when it airs on television.
First, huge fan of Defiance, like Dark Matter and Z Nation. Tried Killjoys but not really digging it very much. But lets face it, the braintrust at SyFy has a brutal record. When they killed BSG, and then Stargate Universe, I said never again. I live in Canada, and on Space (our SyFy equivalent) they were huge shows, with perhaps more people watching then in the USA. We were all crushed since although Space was the other significant backer of the shows they could not produce on their own. Mention Syfy up here, and we spit on their name for… Read more »
I’m so happy that haven start the new season on October 8th I can’t wait for that to start and I hope it just keeps on running for another season after that is this is a great show my whole family looks forward to watching it thank you
I’m glad that the new serials of Haven begins
This Oct.
Dominion is AWESOME and most definitely needs renewed. I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t watched it get caught up! You will love it!
I hope scifi renews Haven I can’t wait to see the new season come back my whole family and myself we always look forward to watching the new season, I watch the show every week I can’t wait for me and my family to come back please don’t cancel it.
I’ve thoroughly enjoy Continuum, haven’t seen the final season yet, pity it’s ending. helix is no loss. I do like both Dark Matter and Killjoys and hope they’ll get second seasons. Finally Defiance and Dominion have so much potential they should both see another season.
continuum is being cancelled and this is it’s final season , which will finish this year sometime. it is made by a Canadian tv channel and scy fy has said it wont renew it. Lost girl also is in it’s final season , we saw half of it? so far? it’s also a Canadian show and it won’t be renewed. the two shows are ending after we see their final shows. people are really missing out by not tuning into the great shows that scy fy makes! . they are all good. although ‘helix’ went so weird that you could… Read more »
Really like Continuum and wonder why, when the numbers are pretty good, it would get cancelled. Maybe corporate interests?
I’m would like to no when Haven
is going to begin for the season
Haven will air a new episode on Thursday, October 8th. The episode is named ‘New World Order’ and it looks to be the final episode of season 5, episode 14. Whether the new season will roll out on it’s heels I don’t know but I imagine it will.
I’m wondering when the show is
going to begin for new season
