After months of uncertainty, the fantasy/mystery series has been cancelled and won’t be returning for a second season.
The Dresden Files was based on a series of novels by Jim Butcher and followed the adventures of Harry Dresden, a wizard who helped the police solve cases. The show debuted on the Sci Fi Channel on January 21, 2007 and ran for 12 episodes. Though the series’ ratings weren’t very strong, a loyal fanbase had hoped that Dresden Files would be renewed for a sophomore year. That didn’t happen and Sci Fi has now confirmed that the series is done.
Perhaps not coincidentally, this news comes on the same day that its been announced that Dresden Files star Paul Blackthorne has joined the cast of new ABC drama Big Shots. Blackthorne will play a high-powered CEO that draws the envy of characters played by Joshua Malina, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus, and Michael Vartan. Big Shots will begin airing this Fall on Thursday nights, following Grey’s Anatomy on ABC. Stay tuned!

What is the matter with television execs. Who is in charge of deciding what stays on and what is cancelled, it sure isn’t the viewers. I am sick and tired of shows I love being dropped. I am seriously considering canceling my satellite and sticking to shows I actually like on DVD and Netflix. The Dresden files was another unique and super creative show with far too short an air time. It’s utter stupidity on their part to cancel a show that had such loyal viewers. Does anybody out there actually care about the people that watch their channels or do they only care about who pays for their ads, etc. Utterly frustrating.
