And some promising news that all might not be lost! - Ben Richards says "I'm very keen on doing a novelisation of the 'missing' series, because we had brilliant stories"

BBC confirms 'Outcasts' axed


http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/new…

The BBC has confirmed that it has axed sci-fi drama Outcasts.

The programme, which starred Hermione Norris, Liam Cunningham and Eric Mabius, concluded it's eight-part first series last night. However, faced with falling ratings, the broadcaster shifted the show to a late slot on Sunday nights midway through its run.

Following the final episode - watched by an audience of 1.56m (11.6%) - the official Twitter account retweeted a number of messages praising the drama and calling for a second series. However, this morning the feed announced that a second series will not be made.

"No series two Outcasts - we're sorry," it stated. "Thanks so much for all your support over the past three months."

Writer Ben Richards added: "To those asking - there are still some ideas about the "missing" series 2 floating about - you'll be first to know!"

Richards had previously revealed that a second series would look at the the mystery surrounding the human survivors on Earth, as well as resolving the cliffhanger ending of episode eight.

I'm not surprised but it's still very sad to see it in black & white.  I guess I had a faint hope that it might be renewed if viewing figures in the US & elsewhere were good, but that's not going to happen now.  :-(
