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?
NOOOOOO! Bring the show back…. This is a great show! It is the only show that I paid to watch thru amazon and to watch sooner!! Bring back ZOO……You cant end a show that way…
Need to know what happens next! PLEASE
I was looking forward to season 4!
So what really no season 4?!?!?! Come on y’all can’t leave us hanging like that!! Bring it back!!!
So what your ratings are down! There are so many people that watched this show or recorded it because the worked when it was airing. Bring season four back.. it is a great show. Great show get cancelled all the time. It sucks
Wow! Ok first of all, Zoo needs a Season 4, without it how will we know what’s gonna happen next, second of all, just because it had a low rating doesn’t mean you can just shut it off, I was hooked on it ‘cause it looked interesting to me and many people was watching it, but y’all don’t know that, y’all need the tv show rating to see if y’all wanna shut it down, and, lastly, I NEED A SEASON 4 ‘CAUSE WITHOUT IT, I FEEL EMPTY LIKE NO TV SHOWS SATISFY ME ANYMORE SO ZOO NEEDS TO COME BACK… Read more »
Just watched zoo on Netflix all 3 seasons. Binge watching. I am so disappointed there will not be a season 4
I just got into zoo and was disappointed theres not a 4th season. It seems like shows just have to be very popular to please you people. Not everyone watches the same shows. I hope you continue zoo
I really enjoyed Zoo. I’ve seen all three seasons and I’m wanting more. Do different from other shows, which is good. I hope season 4 comes out soon
Seems like every time I start watching a new show that starts during the summer, I get hooked on it. It’s great to have something new that’s not a rerun, and it’s interesting. Something different. Then they go and cancel it. You usually are just left hanging. Perfect example with Zoo. Sounds like there were plenty of people watching it. I certainly wish they would bring it back. Much more interesting than these ridiculous bachelor shows.
I totally agree with SueS. Zoo is an awesome series and it’s a pity to have cancelled it.
Apparently reality tv is more profitable for the networks. Count me out!
really enjoyed watching ZOO. hoping that season 4 will happen ikn the future.
I really enjoyed Zoo and was looking forward to the new season. I liked the characters and the actors as well as the story line. I will miss seeing it.
My husband and I really enjoyed watching the Zoo and I am sad that it got cancelled after 3 Seasons. Please reconsider doing Season 4!!!!!
Would love to see ZOO return….please reconsider !!!
Terrible way for the series to end. Personally, I loved it and am in the 3rd or 4th round of re-watching it. It really is disappointing to have season 3 end the way it did; with no sense of any kind of closure. The characters were well developed and the plot was very good. Such a shame to produce a series with no ending. Bummer…..
I would like to say that zoo is an amazing show! But when I figured out yall dident make a 4th season for it I kinda got aggravated because you can’t just leave a show on a cliff hanger like yall did. I love the show I’ve watched all 3 seasons 4 times. And when I figured out yall wasent going to go forth with the 4th season I got mad. I would love to see Jackson and his team save the world and end the sterility problem and how the hybrids act outside the wall. Please make the 4th… Read more »
I got hooked. Please bring it back.
