Deadline - There will be no second season of pre-historic drama Terra Nova on Fox. The network’s brass just made the decision after weeks of exploring potential Season 2 tweaks to the series set 85 million years in the past. Fox had to make the decision early so the show could make a fall return if renewed. Despite its pedigree, produced by Steven Spielberg and Peter Chernin, Terra Nova did not become a runaway hit, but its decent ratings, coupled with strong international sales for sibling 20th Century Fox TV, which produces the series, were keeping renewal hopes alive. 20th TV now plans to shop Terra Nova, starring Jason O’Mara and Stephen Lang, to other networks. At TCA in January, Fox’s entertainment president Kevin Reilly was non-committal when asked about the future of Terra Nova. “If this is all we make (of Terra Nova), we made money on it, the studio made money on it, and it seems to have resonated with the family audience,” he said. “There is a show, which if we are to bring back, there’s an audience there. But creatively, the show was hunting (for its identity). If we had more holes in our network, we’d be thrilled to lock that right in.” With House ending its run and Terra Nova gone, Fox has 2 more dramas on the bubble, both with slim chances of renewal, midseason entries Alcatraz and The Finder. The new Kiefer Sutherland series Touch premieres later this month.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Even though it was a good show it was a very expensive show to produce. I think it might still stay alive on another network that wants to take the chance and expense that it would take.
I gave the show a chance and it was boring and in many cases comical because of the flaws. I think maybe AMC should pick it up :P Give it to the current Walking Dead crew, bring back Darabont and the first Walking Dead season to make season 3 of the Walking Dead :D
That way the drama (safe house/ farm) can be done on Terra Nova where they won't see a dinosaur for 8 episodes, or just one dinosaur here and there.
Joking aside this show COULD be really good, it just needs the right people behind it. i think the whole "film" style the walking dead has would be good for this show too.
It is Fox and they never give any show a chance. If they spend too much money or it doesn't get American Idol style ratings you are pretty much screwed. Thats why im afraid of New Girl being on that channel, love that show.
I liked this show. I hope it gets picked up elsewhere.
I'm glad I only watched one episode
