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?
If Zoo is cancelled, I will be, once again, extremely angry and disappointed in CBS’s track record of pulling the plug on great shows! You continue to make the same mistake over and over, by replacing well written interesting shows, with mindless crap that people who enjoy good tv shows, would never watch. You should, for once, take this terrific series to its end,in the book on which it’s based. Zoo,and the new Salvation, are great summer viewing, the latter deserving of a second season. RENEW ZOO! AND SALVATION TOO!
love the show
Look forward to this show. Love it and entire cast. So tired of crappy comedies and reality does on tv. I look forward to zoo, lucifer and Gotham. Please renew!!!!!
Renew Zoo, if not I will die
Love this show…..would be very sad if not renewed. Please bring it back for another season
I LOVE THE SHOW!! PLZ DON’T CANCEL! I MUST KNOW HOW IT ENDS! So please renew for a season 4
RENEW ZOO PLEASE!!! It’s my favorite Summer show! This year I unfortunately wasn’t able to watch it until just recently, we always DVR it, it’s #1 on our DVR, but we’ve been SO busy this year, that we started watching it about 3 wks ago & then we will watch like 2-4 episodes @ time! Just got all caught up! It HAS to be RENEWED! I’m SO addicted to this show & I hate reading, so if it doesn’t get renewed, I’ll never know the ending! & then I’ll be mad!
My family and I love Zoo and would be heartbroken if it did not come back so please at least give us a fourth season with an amazing ending if nothing else
I love this Series, I would be really upset if it were cancelled . I think CBS jumps the gun on good shows too often. They didn’t even finish the season on Pure Genius. Still angry about that.
If American producers/writers keep making shows with no endings planned, to just drag out the income from ratings until the show is took off air with a rubbish ending, then people will just stop getting into new tv shows
Would love to watch another season of Zoo.
Wilbert great show I hope it gets a fourth season keeping my fingers crossed
I love this show!! Have read the book and the subsequent book shot as well. I think that the show has gone above and beyond where the books went.
I LOVE this show!!!! But like someone else said, the amount of people viewing should consider Netflix and other options of watching the show. Some people just don’t have cable anymore or are busy at the Showtime and have to catch up other ways. I think it’s a great show and continues on into the 4th season and longer!
I enjoy the show. Love the characters. Abe and his family are a good addition to all the craziness. Please renew for a fourth season!
