Will Project Blue Book continue? Recently, executive producers Sean Jablonski and David O’Leary spoke with Syfy Wire about the future of the cancelled History TV show.
Inspired by the personal experiences of Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Aiden Gillen), the drama series is based on the real-life, top-secret investigation into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related activity, conducted in the 1950s and ’60s by the United States Air Force. The cast also includes Michael Malarkey, Laura Mennell, Ksenia Solo, Michael Harney, and Neal McDonough.
Even though History has cancelled Project Blue Book, Jablonski and O’Leary are shopping a third season to other networks and platforms. During a recent episode of Syfy Wire’s Project Blue Book podcast, the two EPs discussed their efforts to save the show and their season three plans.
From O’Leary:
We’re fortunate in that everybody involved remains committed to trying to find our show a second home, and to continue. We feel it’s unfinished. And I’m sure our fans feel it’s unfinished.
We pitched [HISTORY] Season 3 because we actually had a [writers’] room going, and we broke episodes,” O’Leary shares. “What’s so hard for us is that it’d just be such a shame for our fans to not know where it’s going and where we can continue it to go because we’ve already done all that heavy lifting.”
And what are their season three plans? Jablonski says Quinn will be involved:
Obviously, we’re gonna bring Quinn back in early on. He’s an integral part of the show. And I think something important to remember is that UFO sightings peaked worldwide in 1954. It was a global phenomenon.”
Jablosnki also added that if season three does not find a home on TV, there’s always the chance of a graphic novel:
Here’s the thing, we’ve moved so far beyond our Season 2 that we’ve also talked through Season 4. The characters are so great. I could see a version of a book, of a graphic novel, or like a smaller Quibi type version that investigates certain cases.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Project Blue Book? Do you want a third season?
Please bring back project blue book it’s history bring back the show seems every good series gets canceled
History Channel, since you represent history, then bring back Project Blue Book at all costs!! If you want us history buffs to keep watching your channel then bring your greatest show ever back!!!
Please bring the third season and more its been left in limbo, with an opening to what looks like such a fantastic story line would be such a shame to see it end.
Please don’t cancel this!!!!
This serie would be a great lost if it doesn’t continue. Dr Allen hyneks story needs to be told. so we can evolve into excepting that we are not alone ? .
Please bring the show back, it’s the best!!!!!
Our family and friends really look forward to the nights that Project Blue Book comes on. We are so tired of having shows that we really like get cancelled. Seems like all the crappy shows go on forever.
There has to be a network willing to pick up Project Blue Book. It’s a NO BRAINER! Fans want this show back soon.
Please bring back season 3 love that its based on actual events and it is very gripping… Need to know what happens or what’s happening to quinn come on we can’t leave it there
I really enjoy PBB, there’s nothing else like it on TV at the moment. It would be a great shame to abandon it half way through…….
Please find a way to continue.
Please give us a third series what a great show,certainly gets you thinking are we alone.
I am Hoping For a Few More Season Renewals for Project Blue Book. Fantastic Series…. May Season 3 Happen Soon!
Just finished the final episode and it was amazing. I can’t belive it has been dropped by History. Hopefully another network or streaming service will pick this up asap as I can’t wait to find out what is going to happen next. A graphic novel wouldnt do it justice based on what has been done so far.
Make a movie with same actors. runs with tv show. A think would be a good thing to do. George Nimmo
keep the show going it’s very intertaning great cast and a great story!
Have to agree. Get this show on a proper channel. What is the History channel really?!?
Hey SciFi channel get on the ball. Then again the choice is great to shop it around. Save it
