It looks like the Zoo has been closed. CBS has decided to cancel their low-rated Zoo TV show after three summer seasons.
A CBS drama thriller based on the James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge novel, Zoo, stars James Wolk as zoologist Jackson Oz. The cast also includes Kristen Connolly, Nonso Anozie, Billy Burke, Alyssa Diaz, Josh Salatin, and Gracie Dzienny. After noticing animals behaving strangely during the African safaris he conducts, Oz and his team work to figure out the reason behind it. Meanwhile, the animals assaults become more cunning, coordinated, and ferocious.
The series never drew a big audience for the network but it managed to hold on for three seasons. The first season averaged a 1.06 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.40 million viewers. The second season dropped by more than 30%, averaging a 0.74 in the demo with 4.45 million. This past summer, the third season saw even bigger declines and averaged a 0.51 in the demo and 2.65 million.
Zoo was produced in-house by CBS Television Studios. It was profitable thanks to a deal with Netflix to stream the show once its seasons finished airing. Because of the deal, the series was profitable before an episode had even aired. Salvation, which was recently renewed for a second season, is part of a similar deal with Amazon.
What do you think? Did you like the Zoo TV show? Do you think that CBS should have cancelled it or, renewed it for a fourth season instead?
Love this program, please do season 4
I fell in love with Zoo. I think season 3 was the best by far. My wife and I watched this everyday. I couldn’t wait to get off work and watch it. I was honestly hurt when I found out it was cancelled. This show was special to me. The cast are amazing and I am sad to not be able to watch them. Please bring it back.
Omg I’m so wound up there isn’t a season 4. Being someone who read the book and loved it and unfortunately only just had a chance to finish watching all 3 seasons I am so disappointed it doesn’t continue. Without a doubt one of my favourites. Shame there’s no more
Zoo should have never been cancelled, expecially since you ended it on a massive cliff hanger like the barrier coming down/ clems baby missing ect ect I have watched all the season quite a few times and I’m so disappointed you cancelled, please return
Please give me another season of zoo with at least an ending. I’m hooked on the show and I own all 3 seasons. I’ve gotta know how it ends. Thank you
like the show I watched it at my daughter’s I watched all three Series in three days I am a Sci-Fi nut and I thought it was very intriguing and suspenseful but I did not like the way it ended I wish there would be a way to bring it back just to finish it to find out what really happened to everybody and how they moved on or not moved on anyway I really love the show I thought it was amazing
Please get us season 4… i got hooked to those series, it’s interesting and I just gotta find out what happened next!!
