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 loved the show and couldn’t wait for season,4 that stinks to know y’all canceled it
Please don’t cancel Zoo, i love the series, it was something different to watch and the cast are great or at least give it a season 4 so were not all guessing what happens, that was a great cliffhanger and i was intrigued to find out what was going to happen next. PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE IT A SEASON 4.
Please don’t cancel the zoo. I loved this movie and watched all 3 seasons and would love to see what happens next.
I loved the movie zoo watched all 3 seasons and hope you will decide to bring season. 4 .. We need to know what happens please bring it back
Don’t cancel the zoo series. I love it and watch every episode and now all the fans of the shoe are left hanging as the end of season 3 didn’t conclude the series. Please keep it going for the fans who love the show and the characters. PLEASE DONT CANCEL , I BEG YOU NOT TO DO THIS TO THE FANS.
Don’t cancel it! Please, I am waiting for the 4th season. It is my favorite show
Please keep the show going! I’m addicted and love it!!!!
If shows like supergirl and legends of DC still continue, zoo with all its nonsense it still waaay better and should have an end!
My Sister Love The ZOOPIi
How awful….another show where the ending was left hanging for virewers! Bring it back and end it right.
Netflix needs to pick this show up and at least end it with Abigail getting her comeuppance!
I think it is very stupid that y’all are no longer making episodes for zoo I was left in suspense I really want to know what is going to happen.
Has everyone signed the petition? it sucks to leave it on a cliffhanger, the creative team should at least be granted the opportunity to wrap up their story.
I agree that they should be allowed to finish it up. I loved it. Too many good shows are gone. All we get are reality shows. I see too much reality every day. TV is where I want to go to escape.
I totally agree, we have so many reality shows, which I like some of them, but I like fiction and it was a completely different story than any show I’ve watched. I was very excited to see a season 4 and find out what happens. At least let Netflix finish it if you aren’t going to CBS.
Where is the petition?
Bring Zoo back!! You can’t end a show like that!
No, please not Zoo. I love it. It’s one of the few shows I truly enjoy. Bring it back.PLEASE!!!!!
I want it Back. It a great show. I want to know what happens next.
