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 want the 4th season cause it is great show for me and for others who had watched it till the season 3 and i don’t want a ending like this please please male the next season for the fans please
So sad to find out it’s been canceled. Was really hoping there was another season.
I loved zoo. It held my attention from Season one to Season Three and it’s rare to hold my attention. Either Netflix or someone else needs to pick up the show.
So hooked! Please get season 4!
I love this show, please have a session 4
Renew zoo 4th season
I was a faithful watcher for the 1st 2 seasons, But for whatever reason never knew that the 3rd season had come out. I just recently discovered in on Netflix and even I knew the show had been canceled I thought that they had at least wrapped it up and gave it a proper ending in the 3rd season. So here I am binge watching each episode getting so into it only to be left hanging. That is so frustrating! They could have at least wrapped it up the way they did with Timeless, Where they came back and did… Read more »
I got hooked on Zoo on Netflix please bring it back hate it when I get into a show and then it suddenly stops.. if no intention of continuing at least give us an ending !!
Very disappointed that Zoo was canceled. Please make a season 4 to wrap it up properly!
This is the exact reason why I hate watching series. You get into the show, the characters and bam, they don’t finish a season and just cancel out of no where, leaving us hanging on what could have happened or should have been the ending. I didnt know about The Zoo until I saw it on Netflix. Im almost at the end of the rope and realize I’ll never know what happens. They should have at least finished it with a proper ending! I bet if they brought it back, the ratings will rise…. fans will tune in to see… Read more »
I think a show should never end without the right ending. Its clear that this is not the case with Zoo. The last episode of season three most certainly was not suppose to be the last. This is something that bothers a lot of us and it causes some people to never really get truly invested in that channels shows if yhey are going to leave their viewers so high and dry like they have done with Zoo. If they could have only made 4 or 5 episodes to tap things up right is how it should have been done.… Read more »
I loved watching the zoo, but they didn’t even finish the 3rd season, I’m so disappointed with cbs! I know this stopped airing in 2017, however I never heard about it until I saw it on Netflix in 2019! Please release the rest! There was so much more they could have done if only they were givin’ a chance!
I loved the zoo once I seen what it was about I even have my friends hooked on it to bad there is not a season 4 .
Bring it back it was left wide open for a season four and millions of people are angry that it was cut short
I avidly request another season at least. Leaving such a cliff hanger is so unfair to the millions of fans that were loyal to the show. Was Clem’s baby Sam saved or even named Sam for short? How did Samuel react to finding out Jackson was his Father? Did DNA prove Samuel to even be Jackson’s long lost son? I mean really give some closure to the loyal fans.
Exactly, there is so much more they could do, why would they shut it down and season three, didn’t even end, it just stopped! I’m so disappointed!
