It’s not a massive surprise, this, but Fox has pulled the plug on Terra Nova after a single season…
The build up to the premiere of Terra Nova suggested that we might be in for something special. The show, overseen by Steven Spielberg amongst others, saw a family sent back to earth in prehistoric times, and the bill for the first episode alone was pretty sizeable. This was no small undertaking.
Yet the show never really caught on. Rarely as interesting as its premise suggested, it struggled in the ratings, and given how much it cost to make, that was always going to leave it vulnerable. And now, its fate – at least for the time being – has been confirmed. Fox has cancelled the show. There will not, as things stand, be a season two.
As always, there’s a chance that another network might yet come in and choose to pick the series up. Yet, given the cost involved, that’d be a surprise.
More than likely, we’ve seen the last we’ll ever see of Terra Nova…
