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?
My kids and I loved Zoo. It was the one day we got together ate dinner and watched it together. Please bring it back.
Really enjoyed Zoo. Would love to see a season 4
Sorry to hear Zoo will not be renewed for a 4th season. I love the show and was waiting to see what would happen next. Hope CBS has a change of heart.
I need you to finish this season and also give us a 4th!! I started watching it and i LOVE it, got all the way to end and then it ended like that.. NO.. make more!!!!
Finish the damn series, seriously! It’s getting predictable that no tv series will be finished, you keep cancelling them.
Very disappointed if it is not renewed. I have been waiting all year for it to return. Have enjoyed to acting and gotten attached to the characters. There is a lot of junk on tv, this is one show I never miss. Would rather listen to news than watch boring shows. Zoo is not boring. Hope it comes back.
I love this show and was really looking for a 4th season return!!! Why are all the good shows cancelled and the crappy ones left on.
So, so disappointed!
I was hoping there would be a season 4. I enjoyed this series. Anything with Billy Burke is a winner. The cast was great and the storyline was intriguing.
Never watch TV, TV ratings are for old people.
Watch netflix only, were I watched zoo, netflix could snap this up easily for a season 4 and it’s really not to late.
Granted there were a few hiccups in s3 such as the plane crashes due to landing gear broke, but still drive through the barrier, and some awful CGI in s1 and s2.
I don’t think they know what they have here and it was never meant for regular TV.
Yes I hate that it was cancelled – At least do a 2 hour special and End it on a good note. Not on a cliff hanger. I loved it – I should have seriously googled it before binge watching when I was home sick for 2 weeks. My Husband and I are so upset. If the ratings were low, it is because no one has time to sit and watch TV all the time , unless you are sick. But that doesn’t mean you cannot catch on Netflix or DVR. Loved the entire Cast.
The zoo was the best show I would like to watch it all year round you take the good shows off and keep the stupid ones on their has to be something wrong with your ratings or just the ones that r reviewing them get new workers and put zoo back on need to see season 4 badly!!
Need to put season 5 on was very good show it would be nice just to play zoo all year round most shows suck on CBS but not zoo come on now. You keep taking the good show away and keep the stupid ones on!!!!!!!!
CBS, What are you all doing? Finish the show. What happen to the baby? Did the animals eat the cast? Do Sam know he is really Connor? Do Connor know that Jackson is his Dad? I know Zoo writers can do better than that. Don’t leave fans of Zoo and CBS hanging. Thanks
Omg best show ever please come back and make season 4 I need to know what happens I have been telling all my friends about this show and they love just as much as I do I understand not alot of people are watching now but what about the ones that are please come back thanks your fan
