The season average dropped from 6.40 to 4.40 million viewers and an average rating of 0.74 in the key demographic.Īs the original core viewers (perhaps alienated and confused by the increasingly weird plot twists) dropped away, the downward trend continued throughout the third season, which opened with just under 3 million viewers and closed with 2.8 million viewers. Those ratings slumped further in the second season, which opened with 5.1 million viewers and ended with 4.2 million viewers. The first episode had around 8.1 million viewers, although that dropped to 4.8 million viewers by the season finale. “Zoo” started out fairly strong (there was a reason Netflix and Amazon got into a dustup over the show), averaging 6.4 million viewers per episode and a 1.06 rating in the key 18-49 demographic during the first season.

#COLUMBUS ZOO TV SHOW SERIES#
Netflix also got the rights to stream the series in more than 50 countries around the world, and as of February 2019 “Zoo” is still available for streaming on Netflix. The deal was that Netflix would get access to each season only after all 13 episodes were aired on CBS. After a fierce struggle, Netflix won and became CBS’s exclusive video-on-demand partner for “Zoo”. When Zoo first premiered, Amazon and Netflix fought for the rights to the series. As noted, the show was then canceled by CBS about a month after the final cliffhanger episode aired.Īll three seasons are available in DVD format ( season one, season two, and season three), and the first season is also available on Blu-ray. The third and final season, again with 13 episodes, was broadcast from June 29 to Septemon CBS.
Season two of “Zoo” ran from June 28 to September 6, 2016, with 13 new episodes, and the final two episodes were shown back-to-back in a special two-hour slot. Airing Tuesdays at 10pm, the show replaced the network’s surprise sci-fi hit “Under the Dome”, which was canceled in 2014 after three years on the air. It premiered back in the summer of 2015 with a 13-episode opening season, which aired between June 30 and September 15. The show initially ran on CBS for three seasons. “Zoo” was initially slotted as a replacement for “Under the Dome” in 2015, another sci-fi-themed show which was itself canceled in 2014 after three seasons. “Zoo” initially ran on CBS for three seasons, airing Tuesdays at 10 pm. The series ends on a cliffhanger, with a threat of a zombie apocalypse added to the animal apocalypse already going on. The events of the series became more and more bizarre, with Jackson seeming to fall into insanity, becoming able to control animals telepathically, and more. In the second and third seasons, they encounter a wide variety of new and strange creatures, such as a 70-foot snake that can turn invisible, burrowing ostrich-vultures, razorback wolves, and a wooly mammoth-rhinoceros hybrid. They believe they have developed the cure, but it turns out that the virus has mutated and the animals have gone berserk all over the world. During the first season, the team travels the world trying to find an antidote for the virus that has infected the animals, causing their strange behavior. The ongoing plot for “Zoo” was rather intricate and at times absurd.
The series was written by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, Andre Nemec, and Josh Appelbaum. The original basis for “Zoo” was a novel of the same name written by James Patterson (who also served as an executive producer on the show) and Michael Ledwidge, although the series quickly moved past the events of the novel and began covering new plot elements.
