CBS Renews Zoo for a Second Season
We didn’t talk a lot about “Zoo,” CBS’s most recent successful “summer series,” but it ended with a pretty huge cliffhanger so we’re glad to hear it’s been renewed for a second season and will air during 2016 in tandem with the upcoming “BrainDead.” Here’s the official word…
From the Press Release:
CBS announces the second season renewal of “Zoo” for broadcast during summer 2016. In its first season, “Zoo” was the most watched scripted summer series of 2015.
“‘Zoo’s’ thrilling stories clicked with audiences each week during a very competitive summer,” said Glenn Geller, President, CBS Entertainment. “We’re excited for viewers to see where our talented writers and cast take them as the adventure continues to unfold during Season 2 in the ultimate fight of man vs. beast.”
“Zoo” joins the previously announced series “BrainDead,” a new one-hour comic thriller from Robert and Michelle King, and the next edition of the summer reality hit “Big Brother” on CBS’s 2016 summer line-up.
Based on the #1 bestseller by James Patterson, “Zoo” is a global thriller about a wave of violent animal attacks against humans across the planet. “Zoo” is produced by CBS Television Studios and stars James Wolk (Jackson Oz), Kristen Connolly (Jamie Campbell), Billy Burke (Mitch Morgan), Nonso Anozie (Abraham Kenyatta), and Nora Arnezeder (Chloe Tousignant).
The series is distributed domestically by CBS Television Distribution and worldwide by CBS Studios International.
