Syfy has cancelled Dominion after two seasons, RenewCancelTV has learned.
The cabler has decided not to move forward with a third season of the fantasy series, due to low ratings and a busy development slate, which ends with its story unresolved.
Syfy said via statement:
“Led by Vaun Wilmott, the talented cast, producers, writers and crew of ‘Dominion’ have done a tremendous job bringing this ambitious, cinematic series to the screen over the past two seasons. We thank them, as well as our producing partners Universal Cable Productions, Bold Films and Film Afrika.”
No word yet on whether Dominion Season 3 will be shopped to other outlets, while the fate of Defiance remains up in the air.
RIP.

SORRY TO HEAR DOMINION HAS BEEN CANCELLED WAS A GREAT SHOW AND NEEDED TO DO TO THE END.
Jan rusling says
I think there is currently a concerted effort by fans to lobby Netflix to possibly take the series to a much deserved 3rd season and beyond. All support is needed and updates about this effort can be found on twitter #dominion or fb (dominion fans).

Did Dominion improve after the first episode? I made it about 3/4 of the way through before turning it off. Was surprised when it got a second season.
Jan rusling says
The first series basically set a firm foundation for the upcoming series. It did improve greatly through S1 but to be fair, it was good but not outstanding. HOWEVER, S2 went into orbit! Clues in S1 made clever starting points for the multiple storylines….! TRAGIC if the story is unable to continue.
peter says
Just typical ending a good series without a final ending, they could of done a final series 3 of say 6 episodes to end it totally, like they did with warehouse 13.
Jan rusling says
Totally agree although there was incredible potential to weave stories within stories due to the excellent groundwork done in S1.
Judy says
I’m so disappointed in Syfy. They keep grinding out shows, some of the GREAT and then throwing them by the wayside for more and different. There must be about 20 different new shows a year on Syfy and certainly not all of them of the caliber of Dominion. Dominion is an EXCELLENT show, full of action, biblical craziness and even romance and deserves to be continued til we know what happens with Alex, the archangels and the rest of humanity. Hope this show gets picked up by another SMARTER channel.

“Hope this show gets picked up by another smarter channel.”
From your mouth to God’s ear, as the saying goes. It’s the only hope we have left!

This is such sad news! I loved Dominion and thank all the talented actors, crew, and especially creator Vaun Wilmott, for giving it their all. Thanks to every one of them!
I “discovered” Tom Wisdom on this show and was so looking forward to seeing more of his Michael. I will certainly follow him from now on.
I just hope some other cable network, or maybe Netflix or Amazon or Hulu, will pick up Dominion. I will miss it terribly, otherwise. And that’s the greatest compliment you can give to a show, IMO.
Maggie says
My favourite tv series! I really hope its picked up by another channel so i could see more of the archangels!
amanda says
I’m so disappointed to read this. It’s different from all the other mundane shows out there. Please at least write an ending
Irene zhu says
Oh No……Another good series without a final ending….. why always happens like this????
simon hynes says
so glad, Dominion started well but lost its way badly in the 2nd series, should have had a proper ending though
Jan rusling says
Can’t say I agree with you there. I personally found S2 exciting and fast paced.
BRENDA COWAN says
My daughter and I are very upset to learn that Dominion is cancelled we look forward to watching it every week plus now we have an unresolved ending…….. we can only hope some other network picks up the series such with the supernatural show…. some are on tnt and the new episodes are on the cw network…… please considered this for the fans…..
jan Rusling says
Cancelled …STUNNED! This was building to be a Sci Fi great, now everyone, cast, crew and fans are left in limbo with unfinished ‘edge of your seat’, epic storylines. This is a classic example of not taking in the bigger picture. Now word has got around about this series there is a GROWING INTERNATIONAL interest which has been totally disregarded in favour of U.S. low viewing figs due to catastrophic, self inflicted scheduling conflics!
Where are the brains?
NETFLIX??? are you listening, this is your chance to grab a Doozy!
Robert says
They will keep a dumb show like Z Nation but cancel Dominion how dumb.
DaisyDee says
I’m really angry the Powers That Be cancelled Dominion! Seriously?? It was a little slow in season one, but season two was awesome! And now we, this dedicated audience, is left hanging…The presence of Lucifer could have changed the story line in so many interesting and unexpected ways and now we’ll never know what they were.. How could Syfy do this to us?
Let’s hope that Netflix can take advantage of Syfy’s continuing stupidity!
Wendy says
I am getting so sick of SyFy doing this crap to us loyal fans. Farscape, Lost Girl, Defiance, Helix now Dominion. I’ll just stop watching SyFy all together.
vangoghadmirer says
Sadly SyFy hasn’t been able to keep good shows on since they changed their name from the Sci Fi Channel and let BSG end. Really liked Dominion hopefully it will have better success if Netflix picks it up.
Johns says
Glad this bullshit is cancelled. Scify and bigottry….go to church angel believing idiots there you get the lies you need
Cindy Ball says
Only show on such I watched. Loved it. Hope Netflix picks up. Then I won’t have to worry but this ever again.
