Will There Be a Season 6 of The Zoo, New Season 2023
The Zoo Season 6
Was The Zoo cancelled or renewed for season 6? When does it start on Animal Planet? Now that season 5 is over, fans are wondering if the show will continue for another season or not. In this post, we have summarized everything we know so far about the next season.
What Is The Zoo About?
The world-famous Bronx Zoo returns to Animal Planet, showcasing more incredible stories of remarkable animals and the dedicated staff who care for them. In the all-new season, THE ZOO dives back into the hard work and heartwarming moments of daily life at the Bronx Zoo’s 265-acre campus and its sister parks across New York City. Audiences will learn about the zoo’s groundbreaking work in animal care and welfare, conservation, and education. Season five of THE ZOO kicks off with a special two-hour premiere on Saturday, Oct.9 at 8PM ET/PT, with new episodes airing every following Saturday at 9PM ET/PT.
In the unforgettable premiere, a bevy of fascinating new animals find a home at the zoo. From a herd of Bactrian deer fawns on a journey to the Big Apple from Ohio, to a young red kangaroo named Troody growing into the shoes of a Bronx kangaroo legend, to a keel-billed toucan rescued from the dark world of animal trafficking, zoo staffers step up to provide a New York welcome for them all. Excitement is afoot for the zoos’ existing residents as well, as the gorillas experiment with a fashion-forward new enrichment and a trio of curious lynx kittens step into the public eye at the Queens Zoo. Audiences will also get an exclusive update on Nadia, the Malayan tiger who was the first animal in the US to be diagnosed with COVID-19.
“The dedication of our essential zoo and aquarium staff has never been more apparent than in Season 5,” said Jim Breheny, Bronx Zoo Director. “They continued to provide expert care to the animals each day throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and never lost sight of our conservation mission. Staff in all of our WCS parks and those in zoos and aquariums around the world who braved the unknowns of the virus to ensure the daily needs of the animals were met are true heroes.”
This season, audiences will see the Bronx Zoo’s mission in action as a pair of endangered Coquerel’s sifakas are introduced in hopes that they will mate; Sydney, an adorable harbor seal pup rescued from a stranding in the wild, finds a new home at the New York Aquarium; and a pair of rehabilitated ospreys become ambassadors for their species. The zoo’s veterinary staff get creative by crafting a one-of-a-kind orthopedic shoe to help a tiny oscillated turkey chick walk.
Fans can also follow the conversation on social media #TheZoo and follow Animal Planet on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for more updates.

Do not cancel this show it is very informative m. Move the Treehouse Masters to another channel since it doesn’t have anything to do with animals.
Please don't cancel the show. It is informative.
Love it. Grew up in New York and visited many times. Would hate to hear there won’t be a season 6. Tragic for everyone
I love The Zoo. It was the first if it’s kind I watched after I retired in 2016 and still think it’s the best one out there. I’d love to see anything new from there. I got my grandchildren interested in The Zoo and they’ve watched all the old episodes numerous times and keep asking when we can watch new ones. Come on Animal Planet – old & young here want it back.
We're really looking forward to season 6 of the zoo. We love all the up close and personal knowledge we get about the animals from the wonderfully trained and entertaining staff.
Please don’t cancel!!!we love this show
Keep the Zoo its great move other shows that have nothing to do with animals
Please don’t cancel the Zoo. It’s such a beautiful and uplifting show.
Wonderfully informative! There's nothing else on that can compare to the expertise, human desire to save endangered species, or the heartfelt love and protection for all of the animals shown by the zookeepers. Thank you so much for this endeavor. We are so hopeful it will continue on. 10.3.22
Watching The Zoo is a perfect opportunity to connect your soul to what feels right. It allows one to be peaceful in difficult times. And it provides insight what we need to preserve to stay a balanced planet.
Need a new Season!!
I love watching The Zoo. I am hopeful Animal Planet will continue with season 6 and beyond. This is one of my favorite shows.
Please do not cancel it.
What are you waiting for? This is a very, very popular show and allows the general public to become informative so they will want to donate funds to save animal species. Also, the show is enjoyable!! Please stop hesitating and renew the show ASAP! Thank you!
A really great show interesting to a retired person and grandkids. What take place out of public view with the keepers and vets is educational. It’s a point of view others shows lack. Keep it going, it’s a hands on loving touch, same as with your own pets. The best
I absolutely love this show. The other zoo shows can't hold a candle to The Bronx Zoo.
The people are more real and I love to see them work with the animals.
Jim, the Director, seems so genuine.
Love the show. Sure hope it will continue in 2023!! Great staff; love their enthusiasm for what the great work they do
please bring back the most enjoyable show on TV. "the zoo" I've been entertained and taught at the same time. I look forward to the episides airing each week.
My adult daughter & I just spent the day at the Bronx Zoo because of watching the tv program in Maryland. It was fantastic. It was heartwarming to see how proud the staff were.
Absolutely wonderful, educational, interesting and heartwarming. Far better than most shows nowadays. I recommend it to many people.
I hope this show will come back soon! Love it!
Please renew! This show is fascinating and, because it ALSO includes the aquarium, sparked my son's interest in pursuing a college degree in marine veterinary science. I felt so invested in Sue's cancer journey tho it wasn't a feature. It is a valuable, positive and endearing show.
Please bring back the zoo. There are so few things with substance on TV to watch, but the zoo entertaines and educates, and is for the whole family.
I love the Zoo, it's very educational and I love the animals and their keepers, I've watched since season 1 and it's almost like you know them personally because they are all so friendly 😊
I love this show…really informative…please bring it back…all my family members watched it too.
Love it!! Please don't cancel it!
I just love watching this show, please renew it, don't cancel the program, I've learned a lot watching this program!
I still can't find my answer as to whether or not there will be a Season 6 of The Zoo?
