CBS has renewed animal-attack thriller Zoo for Season 2.
While renewal became more likely in recent weeks, the announcement is welcome news for the show and its fans, given that the first season ended on a big cliffhanger.
Zoo Season 2 will premiere summer 2016 on CBS. Press release follows:
CBS RENEWS “ZOO,” SUMMER’S #1 SCRIPTED SERIES, FOR SUMMER 2016

One of the best TV series I have ever watched. The acting, story, and suspense are all among the best entertainment any action/thriller fan could ask for. The only downside is that each season is so short. Thank you for continuing to produce and televise ZOO in 2016.
