Looks like Vagrant Queen has been permanently dethroned. Syfy has cancelled the TV show after only one season.
The sci-fi Western revolves around Elida (Adriyan Rae), a former queen turned scavenger who’s been on the run since her throne was stolen as a child. A charming old friend of Elida’s, Isaac (Tim Rozon), shows up claiming that her mother Xevelyn is still alive. The two head off with their new ally, a skilled mechanic and pilot named Amae (Alex McGregor), to stage a rescue that will take Elida back into the perilous heart of her former kingdom and up against a deadly foe from her childhood — ruthless and power-hungry Commander Lazaro (Paul du Toit).
It’s sadly not that surprising Syfy has cancelled Vagrant Queen. The series’ first season earned fairly low ratings, averaging a 0.05 in the 18-49 demo and just 224,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings.
The writing seemed to be on the wall when Syfy moved the TV show from its original 10:00 PM Thursday night slot to Fridays at 11:00 PM after only three airings. Not a great sign.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Vagrant Queen? Would you have watched a second season of this Syfy series?
I actually really enjoyed it and would have loved a season 2. I didn’t even know what it was until the first season was almost over and ended up binge watching to catch up in time to watch the finale. There aren’t a whole lot of shows that can make me laugh while still being interesting but Vagrant Queen managed it. I was looking forward to seeing where it went and what shenanigans would happen in season 2.
Unfortunate, but expected. It IS SyFy channel after all.
Well to be fair here. The ratings for this were horrendous when it launched. While you can certainly dig at SyFys other decisions. This show deserved to be cancelled. Hell if it had been on a broadcast network it probably wouldn’t have even aired all its episodes.
They also did the most horrendous job of promoting the show. The ratings were low in large part to very few people knowing about it.
The awesome Killjoybs ends and this was supposed to be similar. It lacked the cool quality that Killjoys had. Vagrant Queen was just boring.
I enjoyed watching it, especially Tim Rozon. Will miss this quirky show.
Worst writing I’ve ever seen
In any TV show ever
Clearly you never saw Blood Drive.
I enjoyed both shows, but I have poor taste and enjoy these dodgy low budget B-Grade shows so of course I did.
yet they keep the crapfest wynonna earp….this was a fun show to watch, didnt take itself too seriously, and left the PC garbage out of it….hopefully it comes back somewhere, at least to give it a better ending
For once, SYFY GOT IT RIGHT! Vagrant Queen was excreable.
personally I found this show unwatchable, thought it was total crapola, Also why cxancel good shows such as dark matter for crapola like VQ, remember Farscape great show good ratings and what did SYFY do, yeah cancel, SYFY as well as some other networks continue to cancel good shows for bad, just saying
Ill watch most things scifi, but this shows only redeeming feature was Alex McGregors bum..
syfy channel sucks they cant keep any shows decent shows on the air not that vagrant queen was that decent its production looked low budget and the writing coulda been better but it was still better than the other crap syfy has to offer.its gotten to the point of why bother watching anything new on syfy its gonna get cancelled cause they dont put any investment into their shows their too cheap.syfy either needs to fire all their management and start over or just go bankrupt so we can hopefully get a new way better scifi channel.
I like the show I would have watched the season 2
I liked the show, funny, very old style with the fights, never taking itself too seriously. But SYFY doesn’t care anymore about series, it as someone said below, just rerun city. From cancelling way back The Invisible Man to the Stargate Franchise, it doesn’t want to spend the money and figures they can break even with what they have. You want this type of Genre, go to the CW, they don’t cancel shows immediately
I liked Vagrant Queen and now with it cancelled as well as Van Helsing and Killjoys ended what is there to watch on SYFY? Yes, they brought Wynonna Earp back after being gone two years but how long will that last?
I’m not watching any new SyFy series after they cancelled “Krypton”. Might as well run Harry Potter 24/7!
How SyFy could ever get it in their minds that they had to replace ‘Dark Matter’ for ‘Vagrant Queen’ is beyond me. Heck, even ‘Killjoys’ was better than this.
Killjoys 2 seasons came at the cost of no dark matter. Vagrant was new as replacement for both. Sucks loved the show **** scifi
