Continuum wrapped its fourth and final season on SyFy on Friday night. The series, which starred Rachel Nichols, was cancelled by the network back in December. However, it was given a short six-episode fourth season to wrap its storyline.
Even though the series has come to a close, Simon Barry is not ready to leave the series completely behind. In an interview with TV Goodness, Barry revealed that the abbreviated season forced him to cut part of the story he wanted to share out. He knew the end game he wanted, but he was forced to take a more direct route to get there because of the six-episode limit.
However, he is willing to share that backstory via other formats – whether it be another series, a novel, a graphic novel, or some other medium.
“We did have a plan to show the Traveler’s story and branch out and tell his story in much more detail and [explore] how his journey connected to the larger Continuum mythology. Unfortunately, the time to play that out just wasn’t available to us in the last season, so we had to shortcut it and see what we could use as opposed to building a backstory [that would take up] real estate we needed for our main characters. Hopefully, there will be an opportunity to tell some of the story of the Continuum universe in other formats, whether that’s a novel or graphic novel or other forms of storytelling that haven’t been invented yet. I think at a certain point other components will get their due, but we couldn’t squeeze it into our last six episodes. I would have loved to, but there wasn’t time.”
Barry is definitely willing to continue the story of Continuum if there is an interest. No one has approached him yet though.
This is not the only mention Barry has made about a future Continuum project. He also teased the possibility of a film in a video shared on Facebook.
Would you want more of a Continuum? Tell us what you think.
Just found this show on Netflix. My husband and I love it, love it, love it!!! We are in the beginning of Season 3. We will be sad to see it ending so soon. If there is a way to bring it back we would be excited to watch it. Big fans! We vote to bring it back.
Continuum is a strong program with a lot of hidden meaning. The story line is strong. The building of the characters over the series showed the creative ability of the writers and executive producer. One important aspect is the importance of the family structure.
Bring the show/story back. If done correctly with proper marketing, you will have a hit.
Continue Continuum! I was hoping for an adventure in 2077. Maybe Carlos and Alec go forward in time with the protector. Why was this cancelled?
I loved this freakin’ show!
So, hells yeah I would love to see more continuum
Yes please more Continuum!!
Please make a wrap up film for Continuum in the vein of Serenity
Please reboot, prequel season 4 with about 12 or 24 seasons
I am just finishing the last season. Watched all 4 this year. I would love to see it come back. Great storyline!
Why the canceled the show to begin with! Bring it back. please
My family would love to see Continuum come back. The twist on time travel was refreshing. The writing was unique and challenged ones way of thinking.
Yes, we need more!!
Yes, I’m just finishing the 2nd season and agree, this should be continued if you had to cut the last few episodes on the ending. I would like to input my future writing into scripts also. Let’s find a way to tell the truth, as it is now & that it will be if we continue to let the powers that be do what they are doing to us today. It is informative & possibly that is why the producers decided to cut it short as it was revealing future events that are in the process that they don’t want… Read more »
