The Wellington Paranormal TV series originates in New Zealand and the comedy has already been renewed for a fourth and final season there. The series finale aired in March. Though this show draws low ratings on The CW, will the U.S. network air the final season anyway? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A comedy-horror mockumentary series, the Wellington Paranormal TV show was created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The program is a spin-off of the 2014 What We Do in the Shadows film and the TV series that followed. The show stars Mike Minogue, Karen O’Leary, and Maaka Pohatu. The story follows the adventures of Officer Kyle Minogue (Minogue) and Officer O’Leary (O’Leary). The pair are hard-working members of the Wellington constabulary’s paranormal unit who, under the supervision of Sergeant Ruawai Maaka (Pohatu), investigate supernatural occurrences that arise in the capital of New Zealand on a surprisingly regular basis.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled.
