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.
Hopefully it gets the movie treatment,with the traveller explained, Kellogg somehow running in to him and escaping limbo which causes a lot of trouble. Kiera facing her toughest challenge of letting Sam go and finding her place in a future where she doesn’t belong is forced back to the present. Carlos is going through depression since Kiera and left is trying to put himself back together during an investigation that looks all too familiar. Kiera is back in the present and tells Alec all of whats happening, Kiera and Carlos are reunited, Carlos is happy to see Kiera again but… Read more »
Kiera marries Carlos, and Kellog invents the Corn Flakes !!!
I would love continuum to continue. I was late to the circus and just now found it. I have watched all episodes but season 4…..I would love to see it continue or a movie would be awesome too.
Um please continue continuum. Awesuum show.
It’s been a long time since I’ve ever seen such a well thought out and newly tried idea turn into something that would give me such insight. There was a rough patch right before liber8 joined Kieran but the way they wrapped up the story made up for it. Definitely my favorite show by a long shot
I have LOVED Continuum! It’s great sci-fi because it’s a great story!
Rachel Nichols has been perfect as Kiera Cameron. It would be a shame to let her role as this character fade away.
Tying her back to the Traveler in a future story would complete the mythology. Maybe the Traveler is her son whose goal is to ensure time travel is prevented so he never would have to lose his mother?
That could be a fun exploration.
I want more Continuum!
Yes! Please continue the series! This was one of the most amazing Sci Fi series I’ve ever seen. It’s a sad shame to see it go! I would love to see a movie made out of it!!!!
I absolutely loved this series. I am the type of person that loves everything sci-fi. I often wonder what the future is going to hold for us and wish i was already there. Would love to see a Continuum movie.
A new story involving Comtinuums Traveler would be great. It would explain the traveler in relation to why the traveler was sent, not to intervene but observe. This would be nice.
Continuum is a great show for Syfy I’d love watching it every week I can’t believe last Friday was the series finale I just hope someone else from another station picks it up like A & E has been doing with a lot of other stations hope someone does pick it up for another season.
I am thankful that Syfy gave the fans a chance to wrap up the series instead of just canceling it period. I am not happy that they cancelled it but then again stupid decisions and network execs go hand in hand. I would welcome any continuation of Continuum in any form since it is a great story.
I would definitely love to see more on the Traveler. I loved continuum and am sad to see it gone.
I would likes see ether a continuation of the 4th season or a tv movie , I thought it was unfair she got back to her own time was able see the older version of Alec again , and see her son son but not be reunited with her son , because of the other version of Kiera I hope there will be a tv movie , to really wrap this better for her.
I would appreciate more expansion of “the Traveler” story and how it fit in. It never really made any sense to me.
The story of the Traveler never had a chance to be revealed. I would love to see that story brought back in some manner. What can we fans do to make that happen?
