Despite a huge ratings drop last year, the Z Nation TV show was not cancelled thanks to remaining a top five Syfy TV series. There’s been no word on whether the fifth season is the final installment, but its likely ratings (and the price tag on future seasons) will play into that decision. How will it fare in the Nielsens this time around? Will Z Nation be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

A Syfy zombie apocalypse horror comedy-drama, Z Nation stars Kellita Smith, DJ Qualls, Keith Allan, Anastasia Baranova, Russell Hodgkinson, Nat Zang, Sydney Viengluang, Ramona Young, Natalie Jongjaroenlarp, and Grace Phipps. After a zombie virus infects the United States, a ragtag gang of everyday people bands together to end it.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
