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?
We need season 4 I hate shows being cancelled on a cliff hanger what happened to Sam and the baby and does abigal get caught so many questions such a shame us fans haven’t had closure
I wouldn’t cancel it the shows gone to far to just end it the way it ended. If i produced it i coulda went way further with the show and made it more exciting.
It’s a great show, you gotta bring it back and give us fans a final season to sort out the cliffhanger. We want an ending – will they get the baby, fate of Sam, fate of Abigail, hybrids over the wall, etc ! Really enjoyed it during lockdown 🙂
Please bring season 4 it’s not over very good series please
Renew ZOO for fourth season.
We need Zoo S4!!! We can not be left off how S3 ended, so many questions to be answered. Will they go with Abigail’s deal? Will they get the baby back? Will they solve sterility? Will the hybrids affect domesticated animals? So many things we need answers to!!!!
I really enjoyed this show!!!! I binge watched at times because it was so addicting, I am hoping that enough people ask for a season 4 that CBS decides to go ahead with the production of it. Those of us that became highly iddicted to this show may need some type of therapy or rehab if we have to be left hanging permanently without some type of conclusion to ZOO!!!!!
This is really a great show we need a season 4
I need season 4 really a great show !!!
Bring back zoo please!!!! You left a huge cliff hanger that is going to drive people crazy. This is an all around great show and it needs to go on!!!!!
Yes season 4pleaassssse
Season 4 pleaaaaaase. Come oonnnnn
I have to admit I loved zoo it was a awesome tv show and I got hooked please bring it back I want to see season 4
I think this is a fantastic show. There definitely needs a season 4. It left an open storyline that needs to be closed. Just 1 more season needed.
I just started watching it.wish there was a four to see how it ends.
I loved the Season of Zoo, I got interested in watching seasons 1, 2, & 3. I’m disappointed they didn’t make a Season 4. I’m also disappointed that they canceled the Zoo Season 3……….. There needs to be a Season 4, to see how the show ends…………
I agree after I started watching it I was hooked I’m really upset how season 3 ended with a cliffhanger I think they should at least bring back a season 4 to see how the show ends. if they are not going to renew the show they can at least give the viewers a final ending.
I 1000000000000000%. Agree I will admit that I don’t get a chance to watch alot of anything nowadays but When I do get into something like Zoo I binge watch and Let’s just say that I just finished season 3 and I want to see what happens i.e whether or not they cure the serilitity of the world and Get rid of all the highbrids and Craziness. I am VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
