CBS has cancelled Zoo after three seasons. Per THR, the sci-fi drama will not return for Season 4:
Produced in-house at CBS Television Studios, the drama was based on the best-seller about a wave of violent animal attacks against humans by author/executive producer James Patterson. Zoo was one of the network’s pricey scripted series that used the business model created by Under the Dome where Netflix signed a deal with CBS Television Studios to stream the show after its seasons were completed. The model created the ability to do expensive scripted shows in the typically little-watched summer months as the show was profitable off the bat thanks to the Netflix pact.
The series averaged 2.65 million viewers in its third season, down nearly 2 million viewers from season two, which averaged 4.45 million viewers. In the demo, the Sept. 21 season three finale drew a 0.5 rating among adults 18-49, even from the season three opener but down two-tenths from the season two finale.
RenewCancelTV has confirmed the cancellation of Zoo. The September 21, Season 3 finale will now serve as the series finale, despite creative plans for a fourth season.
Per sources, the are no current plans to shop Zoo Season 4 to other outlets.
RIP.

marian says
HATED IT!!!! WHO WANTS TO WATCH BEING EATEN ALIVE~~~!!!!!???? SICK!!!!
Carla Park says
I do. I enjoy this as much as I do The Walking Dead and the like. It’s called make-believe and if you can’t watch that and realize it’s only great makeup, great editing, and great acting then you need to stick to comedies. Zoo was awesome!!! I want it back.
Pat Shelley says
I LOVED THE SHOW TOO! AM SAD THAT IT’S CANCELLED! AND THAT FINAL EPISODE WAS NOT A SEASON ENDER!
faunmax says
It started out good but the direction it took this year just stunk. Glad it’s over.
Tracey says
That’s what my husband and I said. It was just getting ridiculous!
Bob says
Totally agree. I just went off the rails this year. Watched Episode 1 and dumped it.
Bob says
It……….it went off the rails. I am doing just fine. LOL
Riv says
Too bad they didn’t know ahead of time so they could wrap up the show without leaving us with a cliff hanger. I wanted to see them catch Jackson’s crazy sister & whatever with Clem’s baby cure, oh well.
Jeannette says
I so agree with you!!
Rajendra says
The show died when they killed off Chloe..
Jeff T. says
This!
Jeannette says
On the cancelation of Zoo, I really like this series in the beginning, it was part of my tv line up, then it losted its direction , but I still kept watching.now it’s being canceled without a ending, BUMMER!!
We who watched this series deserve to see a ending!!!
Rose says
I liked the show, it was a bit off last season but at least give us an ending, just not right to leave us hanging.
S.J. says
I am not surprised. It was a really good show when it started but it just got too weird last season. I wasn’t going to watch it anyway.
Paul says
I’m going to stop watching shows with Billy Burke, first Revolution gets cancelled without wrapping it up and now Zoo.
brenda WILLIAMS says
why the hell can’t you bring closure to a show without canceling it first. so wrong
Mike says
Exactly what I was thinking Brenda, I mean if they knew before hand they could of got them a few more weeks to film to wrap it all up
Barb says
Glad it is over, way to ridiculous. Two season’s where enough.
Carol Deubel says
That figures they would cancel Zoo! They
Always cancel the good shows and leave all the crappy ones on like ” The Simpsons” They also have been adding more shows where the actors have been taking the Lord’s Name in Vain!’ WHY IS THAT?? Is there more Atheists in that business now?
Or does money and ratings mean more then their own spiritual
David Williams says
I loved the first two seasons but was disappointed with the 3rd and figured this was coming.
Jen says
I love the show.. Now how are we supposed to know what happens now..
ivey says
I loved the show. CW needs to take this show.
Justin says
I 100% agree with you, Zoo would be an awesome show to be on the CW
mitch. cade says
i love it but c b s al way take the best off
Fran says
its pretty much the same thing as having us watch half a movie and shut it off.totally not right
Dee says
I love this show. I’ve watched it from the start. You always do that. Take off the good shows and leave the bad ones one. Bad for your channel.
Karen says
I saw it coming when season 3 started! I understand, however grab some of those actors and start something new. Really liked Mitch’s character!
Michael Frost says
I totally agree that season 3 was way off, but what about doing a one-two night miniseries that would wrap everything up for those of us that stuck with the show these past 3 seasons. Don’t you owe some kind of closing to us.
Rebecca Henderson says
I also really enjoyed the show Zoo. It brought me right in, in the first season and I remained a faithful viewer. I agree with most of the comments regarding leaving us without a proper conclusion. It would be amazing if they could try one more season, mainly to properly end it. You never know, you may look back at season one, learn from it and who knows you may be able to get those two million viewers back. It really was a good show, and I’m saddened to see it end (especially the way it did – up in the air.
Thank you and regards.
Deb says
I loved watching Zoo ! Upset that they cancelled without even giving us a final
Ending. Up in the air about the baby saving fertility to the humans and see what happens to his son and crazy sister. Should have a 2/3 day mini series to end the show correctly . I’m getting sick of watching shows and than they never come back and leave us up in air with a ending!
Teresa Y Baisley says
i LOVED THIS SHOW. iT WAS GREAT !!!!! CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE CANCELLING IT. wON’T YOU RECONSIDER OR AT LEAST GIVE US AN ENDING!!!!
