TV Show Updates - Cancellations, Renewals and New Series

With the fate of a few more shows announced today I thought I would review the status of sci-fi and fantasy shows set for the fall of 2014 and list the shows that did not make it.  Expect the fate of all shows to be determined in the next week or so.

Almost Human is Almost Cancelled. Actually..... it is cancelled.

The Fox show enjoyed a half season in the Monday 'death time slot' but not so good ratings ended that run.  The show has actually done okay in the ratings but a high budget and Fox looking at some promising pilots next season certainly was part of the decision making.  The show was a mix of Blade Runner and Minority Report and had some glimmers of excellent story telling.  I liked the futuristic setting as it was used to create a focus on high tech crimes.

So things are starting to come into focus on what will be on TV this fall and there are quite a few new TV series to keep an eye on. Here is the schedule and some previews of what looks interesting -

Fall 2013 – New Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV Shows

Preview by Ken Parker

I am currently watching too many series and all of them (apart from Fringe) have been renewed. Now there are potentially a bunch more sci-fi and fantasy series making their way to U.S. Television. This does not include any new cable shows nor online projects nor foreign series.
