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.
Yes I want more it’s awesome
I need more Continuum, more Barry 24/7. Dumb corporate mistake to cut the show. This material was cutting edge, great plot, great character development. This is a Star Trek franchise in the making. This could have gone on forever.
I really liked Continuum it was my best tv show and my favorite I really liked it and I would want to see more because it deserves much more I loved it. Please Simon Barry bring Continuum back!
why do all the great shows get cancelled! please bring it back in some form.
I love the show and hope to see more.
Please do something more. I have watched the seasons multiple times and can’t get enough!
I loved the show and has much more potential for future years to come. I hope the show returns under some format.
This is an amazing series on time travel. I am so disappointed that it ended. Please more Continuum!!!
They should definitely make a spin off for just the traveler, his mysterious background could create one hell of a story
Lbr8 Continuum to a new season!!
I am so dissapointed this is over, what will I watch now? Please give us more of those wonderful characters, send Kiera back.
So what the hell is it with syfy and canceling great shows. Continuum could have gone 10 seasons and yet it went 3.5 instead. NOT COOL! Berry find a way to renew your awesome creative work please and thank you.
Would love to see more & hopefully same people
Love the show please continue just finished the last season it was to short
I just found this show and it is uber-awesome. All I can say is “give me more”
