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?
Honestly I’ve rewatched the series a couple times and waited till season 4. I didn’t think they’d Cancel it. There is alot they can do to turn a profit if it was really that low. The characters were unique and the show had alot of good merits to me. It even taught things similar to wild Kratos my kids liked. So even my 10 year old son took an interest in . Ask the viewers ideas, and they can take it further. I think its a waste to drop the ball on this one so soon.
Just bring back the Zoo please.it’s really great and I loved the series. Just finished the last season. Waiting for another new season hopefully. Everybody done a great job in the series. Jackson , abe , Mitch Jamie Logan
I was enjoying a show.
Please reconsider and make season4
Please bring back zoo it was one of the greatest series of 2017 especially s3 because leaving people with a cliffhanger is not cool man… BRING BACK ZOO
Just finished season 3. I loved the show and I’m crushed to learn it’s been cancelled. At least a 2 hour finale would finish the story. I was left hanging. Can they PLEASE reconsider?
I was enjoying the show bring on season 4 I would like to see what happens thay stopped it with know ending
Please bring it back I’ve been waiting for the four season in anticipation of the ending!!!
Bring the show back
Need to continue , What is the point discontinuing it abraptly , it means wasted my time watching 3 seasons , without an ending
I NEED TO KNOW HOW IT ALL PLAYS OUT AND HOW IT ENDS!!!! IF A SHOW IS DUE TO BE CANCELED THEN AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO GIVE THE AVID VIEWERS AND FANS CLOSURE!!!
Need to continue the episodes
While I didn’t care for some of the direction the show was taken, I did want to see it resolved. It’s too bad they couldn’t have done a two hour episode/movie/show that completed the series. My wife and I streamed it on Netflix and watched all three seasons. We finished it tonight, but wish they could have finished it.
Please. It must continue. Too many shows and movie franchises get cancelled.
Wth how could you leave us hanging like that? So upset right now! Loved the show ! You need to give us closure! So tired of networks doing this crap!
Must continue
How could u just cancel it omg me and my kids are watching this I have watched it over 20 times come on bring if back
