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.

I’m probably too late but I loved this series and would love to see it continue. The best Canadian sci fi program I have ever watched.
We are just in the fourth season of continuum and absolutely love it! Please make at least one more ! It’s amazing. The characters are incredible and the technology is breathtaking! ❤️
Good story, very relatable to powers of government, business and inalienable rights. Good characters and great performances by the cast.
Yes!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE bring continuum back
YES ABSOLUTELY, I’m watching this in 2020 still!!!
YES! more please!!!!!
Continuum is the best series I have ever seen. I would love to see a fifth season. The cast is great and the storyline is incredible.
I would very much like to see a fifth season. I bought the DVD’s and watch them all the time. It is the best series I have ever seen.
One of my favorites, watched it at least 5 times. It deserves better. Thanks
You watched Continuum 5 times. Wow. I watched Continuum 2 times.
You can’t leave it there. She can’t stay in that timeline. Sam has his mother and he’s safe. They changed everything for the better so let her go to Brad and start her own life.
I would love to see another network pick up all rights to Continuum and then we can just pick up and go forward.
Excellent series that really deserves more air time. I’d love to see more of the Continuum universe.
Yes I would love to see it continued; in a series would be great but I’d also take a movie version…better still a franchise
I’m just finishing up Continuum…I really love it and am sorry there’s no season 5 ! YEs, there’s a whole story behind the Traveler we want to see! So even though I just discovered the series, 2019.. Im a fan and will hope for more some day!
I just finished the last episode, definitely needed more time to explain everything.
We had no idea what the traveler action while she was crossing the portal meant.
I hope they can bring it back. Redo season for and continue forward.
Great show. Please Barry bring it back in Netflix with more episodes.
