(CW)
In the spring, a couple of outlets reported that the Pandora TV show had been cancelled. The CW has remained publicly mum on the show’s future but it’s telling that the sci-fi series has been removed from the network’s press site. Fortunately for fans of the show, that doesn’t mean that the show won’t be back for a third season.
A sci-fi action series, Pandora stars Priscilla Quintana, Oliver Dench, Ben Radcliffe, Noah Huntley, Akshay Kumar, Nicole Mavromatis, Tina Casciani, and Vikash Bhai. Unfolding in the year 2199, the action centers on Jax (Quintana) aka Pandora. After the traumatic death of her parents, Jax must start her life anew, so she enters the EarthCom Fleet Training Academy. It is there that she discovers there is more to her identity than she had always believed. She and her friends learn to defend the Galaxy from threats, both alien and human. With time running out before the universe is annihilated by an enigmatic alien race, only a misfit band of heroes – Jax and her friends, Captain Xander Duvall (Dench) and alien Ralen (Radcliffe) — can save everyone from destruction.
Airing on Sunday nights, the second season of Pandora averaged a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 298,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 47% in the demo and down by 45% in viewership. It’s worth noting that The CW caters to a younger demo and puts less weight on traditional ratings than the other networks do.
While it looks very clear that Pandora won’t be returning to The CW, a source close to the production tells me that work is underway on the third season, and filming is expected to begin in early 2022. The show will have a new US broadcaster and the episodes are likely to begin airing next summer. When the pickup is officially announced, there’s a possibility that Pandora could also be renewed for more than season three.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed the Pandora TV series? Do you plan to watch the third season when it eventually becomes available?
I love that show. I hope it comes back soon. It has been way too long!!!
Lots of plot holes and dialogue is so dumbed down its hard to workout what age group the show is targeting. But the story arc is compelling and well the actors while they can be quite good sometimes, don’t get much help from the script. I enjoyed it because because I am a sci-fi junky. But it good be sooooo… much better, if the script writers and the directors put on their big boy pants and write like adults.
I really enjoyed this series and am thoroughly disappointed that it has been csncelled. I like series thatcspture my attention from the start. I am hoping that it will return with a different network. Try Netflix prime,paramount or hulu,just maybe they will bite.
It would be nice if there was an update for this, even if it is that they did not find a new home for this series.
I really enjoyed this show. It kept me interested in seeing the next episode. I would really love to see a season 3 but I read it’s been cancelled…I hope not! Awesome to see a show like this that’s a little different and exciting…with star ships!
Yes if on Any of mine Streaming service wouldnt subcribe to a New one just for Pandora
I enjoyed it, although the storyline from season 1 to the opening of 2 seemed out of sync, like a new crew of writers were hired to do a revamp, when the story had a ñatural progression. Despite that, I liked the cast and concept. It was different, like The Outpost was, so Ì will be excited to see who picks it up here in the US and hope they do another season or two to bring it all to a satisfying conclusion.
I thought the show was done “on the cheap” with very little in the way of special effects or even traditional science fiction types of stories. However, despite it’s failings I continued to watch it because “it was different enough” to keep me interested, and it’s unusual take on what life in a military academy in the future would be like. Plus in many ways each of the major characters changed as the show progressed, some for good some for bad. That’s not usually typical for a TV series where nothing of consequence ever seems to happen, and the show… Read more »
Really enjoy the show and hope there will be more seasons to come. 95% of the TV series I watch are on the CW. This network has always be my favorite. Read somewhere that they are planning to make major changes in the type of shows they air and do away with the superheroes & fantasy shows. I believe this will be a major mistake on their part. Why fix something that isn’t broken!!!
The show annoyed me so much when you realize they’re suppose to be a military academy yet no student actually wears uniforms. Only time you see students in uniform is if they’re away from campus on a mission.
