Zoo sparked a worldwide discussion (Nonso Anozie, “Game of Thrones”),
biotechnology company Reiden-Global was somehow connected to what was happening to the world’s animals.After videosurveillancefootageshowed escaped death row inmate Evan Lee Hartley (Marcus Hester, “Looper,” 2012) leading a rogue wolf pack, Campbell found a photo of Hartley with Robert.
What followed was a thrilling global race to find the culprit and the cure. Averaging more than six million total viewers per episode, the show was unquestionably a summer hit. How- ever, it started off a lot stronger than
it finished, with the premiere drawing about eight million viewers compared to the season finale’s 4.81 million. In any case, CBS has put its faith in the series, despite lukewarm reactions from TVcritics.While“Zoo”mayhavedone fairly well with audiences, reaction from critics has been mixed, as it was forPattersonandLedwidge’sbook.The TV series earned a 48 percent favorable rating from rottentomatoes.com, while metacritic.com rated it only slightly bet- ter with a 55.
Whether or not the critics approved, audiences earned the show another season.Foranyonewhomayhave missed the first season, don’t worry — “Zoo” has also joined the ranks of Net- flix series, so there’s still time to catch up. Last September, CBS announced
that season 1 would soon be available in all Netflix territories, not only the
United States.
With a mix of comedy, reality TV
and variety running on the other major networks, “Zoo” doesn’t have much direct competition for live viewers.ABC is going
the sitcom route with “Uncle Buck” in the same time-slot
while Fox presents the reality TV dating show “Coupled,” and NBC
has “America’s Got Talent” and “Maya
and Marty” on Tuesday evenings.
As for other summer dramas, ABC prime-time soap “Mistresses” slipped in the rat- ings last season, making it less of a threat to “Zoo.”

about animal behavior and shone
a spotlight on modern zoos.As the debate rages on, a prime-time drama takes a fictional look at what happens when animals across the globe begin to display unusual behavior.
CBS’s “Zoo” returns Tuesday, June 28, with a special two-hour season pre- miere. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge, the thriller fol- lows a diverse group of people racing to unlock the mystery behind the pan- demic before it’s too late.
The first season was last summer’s No. 1 scripted series, making it a shoo-in for a season 2 order, which was an- nounced in October.
“’Zoo’s’ thrilling stories clicked
with audiences each week during a very competitive summer,” said CBS executive Glenn Geller in the season
2 announcement. “We’re excited for viewers to see where our talented writ- ers and cast take them as the adventure continues to unfold during season 2 in the ultimate fight of man vs. beast.”
The series features an ensemble cast led by James Wolk (“Mad Men”) as “renegade zoologist” Jackson Oz. In the first season, he uncovered a link
teamed up with French intelligence agent Chloe Tousignant (Nora Arnezed- er, “Maniac,” 2012) after Oz rescued her from a lion attack.
Oz also worked with news reporter Jamie Campbell (Kristen Connolly, “House of Cards”) and quirky veteri- narian Mitch Morgan (Billy Burke, “Twi- light,” 2008), who believe the strange animal behavior may be the result of a man-made mutation.
In April, sci-fi fans were buzzing with the news that “Warehouse 13” alum Joanne Kelly had signed on for a major rolein“Zoo”forseason2.She’llplay Allison, deputy secretary for the Depart- ment of Defense. Her character is said tohavesomehistorywithMitch,afan favorite.
Two more new cast members are set to join “Zoo” this season. Josh Salatin (“Show Me a Hero”) portrays a mysteri- ous figure named Logan, who may be keeping a dangerous secret from Jamie. AlyssaDiaz(“ArmyWives”)playsDari- ela Marzan, who’s part of an elite mili- tary unit that encounters evidence of a troubling development in
the animal mutation.
In the 13-episode first season, felines were some of the first animals to attack humans, followed by everything from bats to rats and even “man’s
best friend.” Campbell quickly deduced that
