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?
PLEASE RENEW AND MAKE A SEASON 4! I began watching ZOO in my animals and society class at UCSC. I have been hooked ever since. The way season 3 ended has me craving more please bring back season 4!!
I loved watching ZOO I was looking forward to season 4 you can’t leave people with the ending that was left my while family watched this show
Please bring zoo back for fourth season. It was left also open, we all want to know what happens next? I love this she and James Wolk
I am disappointed that the show was cancelled since I watched three seasons back to back and when I was done my daughter says “They cancelled it!”. I hate those words and am now afraid to watch anymore seasons of anything in fear that it will happen again. I hate being disappointed by anything but I suppose that is life. Hope someone decides to continue it before I die 🙂
Bring back a 4th season of Zoo it is an amazing show and I’m amped to see what can and will happen
I hope another network picks it up. I absolutely loooove that show and the season finally was a totally cliffhanger, it took my breath away. There needs to be another season!!!
I absolutely loved zoo, it was the best summer show cbs has had in a while & the reason for the decline in veiwers I don’t believe had anything to do with the show, but rather with the up swing in the economy. People have a little more money to go & do things when the weather is nice. It was a really good show & should not have been cancelled. My hope is Netflix is able to continue with a season 4 or another networķ is able to pick it up. I need to know what is going on… Read more »

SIGN THIS PETITION!!!
I don’t ever go online to comment about literally anything but I cannot not say anything about this! Are you kidding me CBS?! Yes please do like a 2 hour wrap up at least, I would take anything at this point, but don’t just leave us all like this, with the amount of insane stuff that goes on in this show you can’t tell me you wouldn’t be able to end this in one or two “normal” episodes. I literally cannot fall asleep because I need closure or to know that someday there will be! Please CBS… Please.
you have to give us something you cant not just end it like this out of no where for the people who did watch it.
There needs to be a mini series or two hour episode or a shortened fourth season like they did prison break. There has to be an ending. Ending shows like this is why viewers don’t watch the other shows in the future.
I think someone should make a petition on CBS and all the zoo tv show fans should sign it and send it to them and then they might change their minds when they see how many fans love the show and don’t want it cancelled. I am very annoyed, angry and disappointed that Zoo will be cancelled and that CBS isn’t going to continue it and make a season 4 and give us fans an ending as I’m a big , huge fan of the ZOO series and pissed off that they would do this to all of us. Shame… Read more »
CBS i really hate you!!!!!
CBS, I can’t believe you! Canceling Zoo is very upsetting to me because I watched all 3 Seasons and could hardly wait for the next. Just like many other viewers have said, in so many words: It’s like reading a book where someone has torn out the last few chapters! Shame on you CBS—don’t you even consider what your viewers want?! I’m sure the Actors realize they have a following and am sure they loved the series—did you consider their feelings with regard to your decision to cancel? I’m truly disappointed in you CBS! Why would anyone want to watch… Read more »
