The news I shared about it being picked up a week or so ago was actually misreported, and the series has actually not been picked up and will not move beyond the pilot stage. Only way we'll ever get to see anything is if the pilot episode somehow leaks, which I wouldn't count on.

ya know .... i really HATE getting jerked around by the movie/film/TV powers that be. They have consistently disregarded and disappointed their viewers - going all the way back to at least the cancelling of the original Star Trek series. GRUMP!

Maybe fans will make a difference and someone else picks up the rights. God knows I hope so.

Maybe if the pilot leaks or airs and it turns out to be good, it will generate some buzz online and some other channel or streaming service will pick up the series. Here's hoping!

EB, I hope you are right but from history I think there is a great deal of what used to be called "dog in the manager". The dog doesn't want the hay but he keeps the cows from eating! The studio weenies don't want the film but they do not want to let anyone else have a shot at making it a success. Think about the guys that refused Star Trek because there preferred "Lost in Space".

Is there a history of SyFy being greedy like that, though? It was supposed to be on Amazon at first, so I don't think it landing on another network/streaming service is too far out there. I doubt the pilot was so bad they didn't see it as profitable, so maybe they realised it would be too expensive for them? Anyway, Kevin Bacon is still a hot name in Hollywood and for a show like this not to get picked up while other nostalgic and classic properties like Roseanne and The Karate Kid are making huge comebacks on TV just doesn't add up.
