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?
They need to bring it back I feel like the ratings were low due to poor promo I enjoyed all 3 seasons mainly because they were all so different
I agree, CBS did not promote the show; I just found it on Netflix, and now it’s cancelled. What a bummer. It is an awesome, interesting, exciting series.zR45c
CBS I was really enjoying Zoo. How could you just drop the show like nobody’s watching. Season three was the best season of all for Zoo and my daughter and I looked forward to watching the new season. Now we are left hanging for a ending. Please bring Zoo back for at least a conclusion. Its not fair to cancel with a cliff hanger looming over our heads.
So mad you guys cancelled this show! Very upsetting
I liked zoo. I really looked forward to watching animals instead of vampires and werewolves act up.
I hope OWN will produce dramas such as this instead of soap operas.
I love this show!! & I would love to see an ending to a much loved show. I don’t want the show to end but since that is Zoo’s fate, I want an ending.
Finish the show!!!
It should finish what they started you just can’t stop in the middle and not let us know what happen
I hate you cbs!!!
I really liked the show once it focused on something. First season and middle of second was a jumble. It got really interesting and grounded after that though.
Disappointed that zoo not renewed. Really liked this show. would’ve liked to see a”happy” ending or at least the characters resolving the issues.
I really enjoyed Zoo and would like to have a better ending. I would like to know how things play out with Jackson and his son.
So sad. I really like this show. It did get a little weird but I watched it faithfully!! Now once again a good show has ended and we have no closure!
I loved it! Wish they would make a season 4
I loved the show… so disappointed that there will not be a season four!
Please don’t leave this series unresolved!!! I spent an entire week binge watching Zoo on Netflix……What happens to the baby and the rest of the characters??????
