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?
Please give us a season 3&4 for dominion grate show love to watch grate actors please ,please give us a new season please
i hope they wait for numbers for the DVR watchers.. and the ones who have to wait for it to come on line..
i meant Dominion.
This season of Dominion was the best yet! It needs to be renewed!! Do these numbers take into account for those that record or end up watching these shows later or on Demand? I used to watch Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, the Originals and other- some obviously not on SyFy but due to unforeseen circumstances I got behind and would wait for Netflix. Now they aren’t there! So sad to see Haven and Lost Girl ending as well.
Please renew Dominion!! I have to see what happens next. My life will never be complete if not!
Of course there can be an end to Dominion, it’s easy. God comes back, he smacks the Angels back into Order and all is good again. I’m happy the direction that the writers are taking the show, I’m also very curious to see who Lucifer will be and would like to see Rapheal (though I always thought Rapheal was a guy, not a girl as they are referring Rapheal to be). I like both Defiance and Dominion, so please renew Dominion for 3 and 4 seasons please and bring Defiance back too!
Znation & Dominion both need to be renewed.. I’m a little late coming into them, but i’ve grown to personally love the shows.. come on Syfy
Renew Defiance. Dominion never will have end.
of course it will god comes back, after the angles and man learn the lesson they need and bam all is restored.. Defiance can go away for all i care..
I remember Dominion season 1, showing more ass and tits of the main actress….why this end for season 2???? i mean, only reason i saw Defiance season 1, was to see Julie benz ass and mia kirshner tits. I mean… isn’t that the reason why Defiance have such a “strong” fan base??? i just saw season 1, and the first 2 episodes of season 2 bored me to hell. I really like dominion, but i feel Syfy just waste all the potential. Besides that. Yes, i want to see more ass and tits…there was nothing of that in season 2.… Read more »
Please renew Dominion top notch series..!!!! Loved both seasons,brilliant actors with great story lines.
Please,please,please do season 3+4..!!
I hope Dominion gets renewed. Season 2 was even better than 1. I’m glad they’ve finally gotten out and shown more of the world other than Vega. There’s still so much world to explore and hopefully an explanation for why God is missing, the cause of the war. Love Haven, but am glad to see that they are giving us a final season, hopefully to tie everything up. I think it had a good run, but definitely glad it’s going out before it becomes ridiculous because all the questions have just about been answered. Any longer and they might make… Read more »
bitten was a show that started fast. but ran out of steam in 2 season., the season was all about witches. boring.??
dominion is great show. i am pre ordering season 2. will their be a season 3 ?? need to know please.
will their be a 3 rd season for dominion.???
SyFy needs to renew Defiance, I’m late on discovering the show and I am upset I never watch or heard of it sooner. A free trial of amazon prime had me instantly hooked this past early spring. As I watched it loyally every week, either at the time it aired or by DVR I felt like season 3 surpassed all of the other seasons. II know season 1 has the most views and it appears that season 2 people dropped off from watching it. Maybe because of the weird Kaziri thing. But either way according to this chart I see… Read more »
Yes I’m upset about haven
Please renew both Defiance and Dominion! I love both of these shows.Upset about Haven being cancelled tho.But I can’t wait for it to start.
Dominion is the only show by Sy-fy meaning anything to me. People say that it targets the Supernatural fanbase – well, I find the execution in Dominion even better than Supernatural.
