Syfy has been cleaning house and has cancelled a lot of its TV series lately — shows with better and worse ratings than Van Helsing’s. Only a few of the channel’s existing series have been renewed. Will this one stick around or, is it already doomed? Will Van Helsing be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A horror-fantasy series, Van Helsing, stars Kelly Overton, Jonathan Scarfe, Christopher Heyerdahl, Neal McDonough, Vincent Gale, Rukiya Bernard, and Aleks Paunovic. Joining the cast are Tricia Helfer, Richard Harmon, Nicole Munoz, Keeya King, and pro-wrestler Big Show. The show centers on Van Helsing descendent Vanessa “Van” Helsing, who awoke from a coma to find vampires had overtaken the world. A prime target for the vampires, she’s also humanity’s last hope with her immunity to vampires and ability to turn them into humans. In season four, the first of four vampire elders has been freed and legend has it that when their four Totems are combined, the Dark One will be resurrected. It’s a race against time as Van and her ragtag group of heroes face off against the forces of darkness.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Van Helsing TV series on Syfy? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
*12/17/19 update: Van Helsing has been renewed for a fifth and final season.
The show was great for first season and 2nd then it just turned into man hating garbage
how does a garbage show like this with terrible ratings get renewed but syfy cancels all the good shows with better ratings wtf.
Van Helsing renewed for a fifth and final season.
Great show, but with this ratings for Season 4, very small chance of Season 5. I give it 10%. Ratings are worst than last season and I am behind 3 episodes this season.
Please cancel this show. The acting is horrible and the storyline is just ridiculous. Zombies, vampires, and blood and guts. And the vampires are just ridiculous. Put a little red makeup around their eyes and puff, you’re a vampire.
Best show ever on Syfy, great character development. It’s the only watchable show on Syfy.
