Why Was It Cancelled? This show started out in Fall 2017 without much promotion and debuted with numbers that were low even for a Syfy entry. It never managed to build up much of an audience, and like the network’s other new supernatural series for the season Superstition, seemed like an odd programming choice for a network that had claimed it was returning to its sci fi roots. Sci fi fans had little interest in the show, and it did not have enough promotion to attract other viewers, so it becomes yet another one-season-and-done entry to succumb to the Peak TV crunch.
