(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 don’t know what it says about me, but I used to watch Pandora, even though it was a pretty terrible show. Now the Outpost, was a very good show that should have run for many more years. Renew The Outpost? Absolutely. Pandora? meh.
I’m glad that Pandora is coming back for a third season‼️
Love Pandora. So glad it has not been cancelled.
Happy to know that “Pandora” is still alive.
I cant think of anyone other than Syfy picking it up. The ratings are atrocious, I am not sure this would be a candidate for a streaming service to pick up, maybe Roku or ImdbTV…but the big services this would not generate enough engagement.
I’m glad to hear that Pandora has been picked up for another series. It may not be the best sci-fi series but I enjoy watching it, I don’t have to think too hard and there are some rather attractive actors
Another mistake, CW! Cancelling Outpost and now Pandora? I haven’t understood the execs at this company for the last few years. You’re trying to salvage Batwoman, refuse to move along with Arrow’s Mia and the Canaries spinoff, rebooting the 4400 and maybe a 100 prequel? I can get on board with the 4400 and the 100 prequel but then it doesn’t make sense why you would drop Pandora. Reboot the execs. I hope that someone else picks it up for several seasons and really gives it a platform to run with. Syfy, Hulu or Amazon would be good, especially since… Read more »
The ratings of all CW shows are terrible. Amazing how far the network has fallen.
TV shows like Dynasty and Batwoman can survive longer and get more backing because they have Warner Brothers and CBS behind them – which The CW is a part of. They will keep those shows first. The shows that are produced outside of their “circle” will typically be the first to go when the time comes. That is how they operate. I hope Pandora does find a new network that will put them on the air. Same goes for the Outpost. Both good shows that have fallen to CW’s business practice.
I really enjoy Pandora and can’t wait for a third season.
I really like this show, but *I* sure ain’t in the CW preferred demo group. Would LOVE to see SyFy Channel pick it up.
I really enjoyed Pandora would love to see a 3rd series if not more
I really enjoyed the show and can’t wait for season 3 and possibly more seasons to come.
I guess Facebook Watch needs shows
I have enjoyed the show since it’s been on.we hope it gets some more seasons.those of us that enjoy it wonder what network it will be on when it’s back on.
I have enjoyed watching Pandora and would love to continue watching this show, even if it is picked up by another network, please continue with this show
This is surprising as the ratings were terrible. It must be very cheap to make and have an international audience that likes it. I thought it was alright except for they are students out fighting these big enemies. Kids against armies and winning.
