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?
I love the show. I hope there more then 3 seasons
really liked it, something out there but different
please bring it back… it was out there but something different…. really liked it
LOve this show. WE binged on it and just found out not season 4. Great they leave us crap and cancel the good shows!
I would just really like to see a conclusion! I am so tired of investing 2-3 years in a show just to have it cancelled and NO proper ending. If nothing else, at least give it a few episodes to go out proper and not screw over the audience
I want the zoo to be renewed!!! I need to watch more!!!
I loved the season of Zoo and there should be a fourth season to see what happens with the hybrids and planet earth, if Jackson tells Sam that he is his son, and what happens to Clem’s baby and if Jackson’s sister gets killed.
We all want at least a season 4 . You can’t leave us hanging. I love this show. Please bring it back..
At the very least a movie or miniseries
How can you just leave people hanging? Bad form
I have watched the Zoo for all three season that it has been on I do not want to see it cancelled I am in love with the show. I need more of the Zoo, PLEASE DON’T CANCELL IT!
I just finished watching the series and I am SO upset to find out that there will be no season 4. ALL the good shows always get cancelled. And to leave the series ending like that is just cruel to the people who watched it and loved it.
I absolutely loved this show! I can’t believe that they are going to leave us hanging about the fate of the world population! This is a wonderful sci fi series, much excitement, like “True Blood”. I could not believe the amount of excitement, I kept shouting out whenever a dangerous moment took place, and there were plenty! What a great series. PLEASE, PLEASE, BRING IT BACK!!!!!
how do stations like cbs expect ANYONE to watch their shows if they keep cancelling them like this?
I hope either another longer season to just wrap things up and not to keep us hanging. Or at least a movie to give us something to understand more. Too many questions with absolutely no answers. Do they survive with the hybrids after Jackson runs the plane into the barrier? Does Abigail pull the same stunt on the baby as he grows like she did on Sam losing all hope to help sterility? Do they ever find the baby in time? All the questions we have could be answered in a 2 hour movie like they did with Prison Break… Read more »
