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?
If you’re gonna camel the show at least have the decency to bring it to a proper ending. I actually lost respect for CBS. I invested much of my valuable time into a great series to have it end like this.. We deserve at least 1 more season finish what you started! Best series I’ve watched in a while.
love this show couldnt wait for season 4 to start,then i find out that it is cancelled.very upset about this
Please do not cancel this show……loved it!!!!!
Season 3 was a cliffhanger with evil Abigail still having the upper hand. Just a few more episodes would bring a satisfactory conclusion to the 3 seasons I enjoyed watching.
Bring back Zoo for season 4 my family and I love it and we want more!
I love the zoo! I miss chloe though. Season 4!
It is hard to find a program that spans my children’s ages that isnt Marvel!!! My 4 kids andIjust found this show on Netflix a few weeks ago & look forward to watching it together. We just finished the last episode in The 3rd Season. They went to bed looking forward to the premier of Season 4. Zoo has sparked their interest in Vetrinary medicine and Genetics!
Please bring us Season 4 of Zoo and help save us from being taken over by Marvel!!!
I am so mad. I loved this show. And just finished watching the last season. What. The. Hell. Not happy.
I am literally heart broken there is no season I binged watched just to be left hanging and curious as to what will happen. At least do a season 4 wrap the show up! Renew please!
This makes me so mad!!! I spent all this time watching all three seasons for there not to be a show finale!!!!! Zoo needs a season 4!!!!!! Done with CBS.
Zoo has been captivating. I just finished season 3 on Netflix and am disappointed that CBS has cancelled season 4. I would love for this decision to be reconsidered. Bring us another season of Zoo!
WE NEED A SEASON 4 TO END IT ALL
I hate it when a show is canceled with no ending of any sort. You get fans drawn in to watch the new and best shows then leave your audience hanging. Three seasons shows some interest..how about an ending? Makes me just want to give up watching anything new..this happens far too often. Why invest any time in shows that are just over.
Def need to bring this show back that is horrible cbs I will never watch another one of your shows again. You could of at least brought the show to a conclusion befor just cutting the legs out from unders all us zoo fans
Please, have 3 seasons we need closure dont camcel without an ending
