Extant Upate: Season 1 Finale Airing On Sept. 17, 10 PM On CBS; Sci-Fi Drama Early Premiering Of Season 1, Due To Low Ratings?
Extant has finally aired on CBS.
This TV series starring Halle Berry and produced by Steven Spielberg will get an earlier finale schedule, according to reports.
Latest news from Post-Gazette, citing TheWrap.com reported that the TV series will air its Season 1 finale on Sept. 17 at 10 p.m., instead of the original date of the finale, Sept. 24.
So what will happen now is, CBS will air a 90-minute season premiere of the reality TV mainstay "Survivor" and a super-sized season finale of its other unscripted juggernaut, "Big Brother," starting at 8 p.m. on Sept. 24.
The plot of this story is about an astronaut (played by Berry) who returns from a 13-month mission in space. And when she lands here in Earth, she discovers that she's mysteriously pregnant.
Post-Gazette said that the TV series hasn't exactly been a ratings blockbuster since the day of premiering in early July. It was reported that the show gets a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic most sought by advertisers. Third airing of the sci-fi drama had dropped to a 1.1 rating.
The network planned to shift the show's timeslot from Wednesdays at 9 p.m. to 10 p.m., hoping of goosing the show's ratings with a "Criminal Minds" lead-in. Sadly, the show failed to increase the ratings during its first night in the new slot.
