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?
I was looking forward to another season, what a bummer! Enjoy this thriller
Please bring season 4 of Zoo. It has to be finished up
Renew
I loved this show am truly bummed that it’s not coming back I hate when they cancel a show that is great wish they’d bring it back
The show should have been renewed. – it was good!
I’m really disappointed to learn about Zoo’s cancellation. I loved the show and was really looking forward to a a season four. They should at least give the fans a 2 hr movie or something to put a cap on the show.
I loved the show please renew!
What is wrong with CBS and for that matter all the networks? Everything show that is great and has interesting story the networks get rid of, and instead they keep the same old story lines that are basically mind-numbing. We wait all year for the next season of Zoo. My aunt even calls me up to find out the next season’s release date. Frankly the seasons were too short anyways. If all the people who loved Zoo knew that CBS cancelled it, there would be an uproar! !! I hope CBS gives the writers another gig because they are brillant.… Read more »

I think they need to do at least 1 more season to conclude how the story ends, i enjoyed watching it
Please bring it back iloved that show now i have nothing to watch please bring it back
Loved it. I was hoping another season.
Really!! Ive watched all the seasons 3 times hoping that it would continue. Instead of focusing on the people who dont watch it you should focus on the people who do watch it, the fans and supporters. Please continue the show abd give it a proper finale!!
Not cool!! I was so looking forward to the 4th series, the least they could do is do a one of special to give an ending to the program.
