What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, 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.
Season three of Zoo opens in the year 2027. Thanks to the sterility issue, the human population is still diminishing. Meanwhile, hybrids pose a new threat. This relentless force of lab-created creatures is determined to wipe humans off the face of the earth. Although the team members have grown alienated from each other over the last ten years, Jackson, Jamie (Connolly), Abraham (Anozie), Dariela (Diaz), and Logan (Salatin) have to get past their differences and reunite when they learn that Mitch (Burke) is alive. They must stop the hybrids and their enigmatic creator – someone with a connection to their past.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Zoo averaged a 0.51 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.65 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 31% and down by 40%, respectively. Find out how Zoo stacks up against the other CBS TV shows.
On October 23, 2017, Zoo was cancelled so there won’t be a fourth season. Could it be revived somehow? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Although it premiered with even worse numbers than last season, it is difficult to figure out whether CBS will cancel or renew Zoo for season four. Frankly, after a 30% drop in both its demo numbers and audience size, I didn’t expect it to score this third season. I’m also a little put out. Crazy hybrids aren’t the only critters who need to feed. I’m happy for the fans of course, but still, I am starving. Personally, I think that the numbers are too low this time around. We’ll see. I’ll keep a hungry eye on the ratings and update this page as needed. Subscribe for free updates on any Zoo cancellation and renewal news.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Zoo TV show would be renewed for a fourth season? Are you sorry that CBS has cancelled this TV series, instead?
Yes need more people last 2 years were mean it for really I love it needs to be more seasons of it. Great cast hope more to come very intense one.
Started to watch season one on TV but typically halfheartedly watching playing with iphone. Started to watch on netflix on my phone (no distractions) loved it. Watched season one, season two and watching tv.
TV isnt viewed how it once was the “ratings” isnt the only indicator of a shows success!!
I really hope there’s more after season 3. This show is so good. Some of it’s hokey, and the CGI is bad, but I still love it. It’s the only show where I can watch any episode; usually I just skip around episodes because half of them are boring or annoy me with the characters, but I’m invested in every episode of Zoo. One of the characters gets on my nerves, but I’m still with it. I really hope there’s more because I’m tired of my favorite shows being cancelled. I don’t really like the large time jump – 5… Read more »
I absolutely love this show!!! I really hope it goes past season 3. At least a season 4 or more. I hate that it’s at a different time though
Yes,
If they can make another season!
I hope so!
Hope there is a season 4. Like the show! Loyal watcher.
Just started watching Zoo last week, and I love it! I actually watched season one and two via Netflix over the weekend, and now my daughter and husband want to watch them too! I’ve been using the DVR to record season 3, to watch once they’re caught up! I REALLY hope there will be a season 4!!!
PLEASE PLEASE renew the show…I am not on your rating radar, but I watched ALL the Episodes and LOVED them all.
I think it is a great show, and would
Here’s the thing, CBS (and many other stations) don’t realize that many people are cancelling their TV/Cable subscriptions and using other things like Amazon and Netflix and Hulu. You cannot get an accurate representation of interest unless you look at those numbers of episode/season/person ratio. I am one of those that don’t have cable and rely heavily on Netflix. I love the Zoo, 100, and many others that because of their “waning” numbers on air dates or through the television season get cancelled. Everything must be looked at (historic and present combined) to see if every season has actually been… Read more »
I hear ya
Completely agree! Prefer Netflix as it’s more affordable than cable and no commercials! Zoo, 100, and so many more are prematurely cancelled…smh. Every time a good series starts, it gets cancelled! Not sure which is more irritating, good ones getting cancelled while blah ones stay on air or commercials! I know of a few dozen people off the top of my head that wait to watch series until they can watch from beginning to end on Netflix. Can’t blame them, as I hate the suspense of waiting. To end a show the way Zoo was left off, it’s complete crap!… Read more »
I agree it can’t end this way at least do a 2 hour season finale or something!!!
Let me start by saying that James Patterson is my favourite author of all time, and that I loved Season 1 and 2 of Zoo. However, one needs to know when to draw the line – I have lost interest in this series now due to its unrealistic storyline. I cannot believe they make another season of something like this but then cancel the most amazing series ever called “Code Black”.
Code Black was renewed the last time I checked and Zoo should get at least a fourth season. They can’t leave us hanging. The story has to come to a conclusion before the show is done.
At least make season 4 the last so we don’t jus sit here an wait to see what happen at the end of season 3. Either make abagail win this or the team fights it an figure this all out!!
No!!! Don’t let Abigail win
Abigail is a scammer so she just probably is not giving the baby Jackson should of killed her Jackson is just to soft
Abigail is one of me fafriot characters so abigail pls win
This an excellent show. The cast works well together and I am a huge fan of this show and its extraordinary cast. Cancelling it would be a huge mistake. 85 percent of my tv viewing is on CBS. Don’t let this show be cancelled.
you cancel the good shows and keep the one i will not watch. So go for it . you just lose another person. i like non reality shows. Takes you away from the humdrum B.S. daily crap.
I love it too – it’s an original storyline and keeps surprising throughout all the way. The acting is good – please keep it! The battle between people and animals can go on and on with the balance shifting continually. A great concept that is definitely keeper!
I love ZOO !!!!!!! This is a show that one day just might become FACT not just a persons thoughts on paper for a TV show because man can not leave Mother Nature alone ???????? I honestly HOPE and PRAY the animals win in the end ………… CBS keep this show going for years and years to come !!!!!!!!!!!
keep this going I agree they have a terrible record for cancelling shows please leave zoo alone love the show…….
People who say its bad are stupid they should make a fourth season if they don’t im never turning my TV on again
They have to make season 4 cause its veiws are rising how is 20m veiwers not a lot cause why would they cancel it cause people love it
