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?
I LOVE this show! I was actually quite shocked it wasn’t picked up and mad because it seems absurd to not. If I were a gazillionair I would back the show up to and beyond Season 4. I hope you find an awake human(s) to pick it up .
Best show ever bring it back!!!!!!!
We love this series – please don’t cancel it. We enjoy it because every episode is about something that actually took took place, it’s not fictional –
Someone with a brain out there, please pick up this show!
I was shocked that a show this good got canceled. I hope it gets picked up by some network. SyFy Wire would be a great place for this.
The series had a quality of story telling that I haven’t seen for a long time. Bringing the scientific comparison of how a alleged flying object is caused by atmospheric gases or even medication causes a chemical unbalance of our brains to see weird things. A time period that they actually believed in anything and how ignorance and the threat almost caused our annihilation. If a third season is a Go…I am ready. Please do. Because quality writing is disappearing in these days in a world of rebooting. Be safe all.
Yes, I would love a 3rd season and a 4th one!! I love this show!
Love this show . I hope it can find a new home. I will be watching wherever it ends up. Thanks to everyone in the show.
Please find a taker for season 3 I will certainly be watching
Please bring back Project Blue Book and continue it, me and several other fans want season 3 and beyond to happen, we need to get to the end the mystery.
We have to know what happened to Quinn..
Bring it back!
I think the 3rd season would be great… out of this world! (forgive the pun) Just tell me where and when.
Canceling this show is a mistake. This is good, quality tv. Come in networks! Someone buy this show.
Here’s a Yes to Season 3 – Please bring back Project Blue Book!
Yes, definitely want a third season, a fourth, a fifth! I’ll follow it wherever it goes! Another network, streaming, etc. I hope you don’t mind, but fans should sign the petition to help find it a new home. Every signature counts! https://www.change.org/p/netflix-save-project-blue-book-the-tv-series
