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?
This is one of the best shows on television. It is very well written and based on factual events. I’m so tired of the same boring themes, cop, hospital, CSI this and CSI that, reality shows, no imagination there.
Please find another home for this show. It is so meticulously done, the stories are true, and it was clearly left with the intention to continue the storyline into a season 3. Another Network picking this up could get an even broader audience, which would get the recognition it deserves.
Bring project blue book back….It is one of my favorite shows. I’ve gotten others hooked on it too. Please…renew the series.
Season 3 please. Show is very informative and entertaining. One of the best shows on TV
Please do not cancel PBB bring it back for Season 3
Exceptional show.
It’s an awesome series.. it would be terrible to cancel
It ..and there’s so much more to tell…everyone I know loves the show !!!
My husband and I are thrilled with the show! Now is NOT the time to cancel a fact-based show about UFOs. The world is waking up to the fact we are not alone in the Universe, and believers are no longer considered to be lunatics. Even the military has admitted their UFO sightings are real. Take advantage of the times we live in: please don’t cancel the show!
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 –

We would love to see several future season of blue book. it is a show that is not like anything else on TV. Has great writing and is hard to guess what is next.
Definitely bring this show back. It is so outstanding. Some network, please pick this show up.
This show is awesome don’t cancel
I love this series, please bring on season 3 and more seasons after that. Why do they cancel good shows like this one and keep the garbage reality shows on.
Why is it any show that is really good gets canceled. Just like the show hunting hitler. Bring them both back.
Having served as a NORAD & Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) radar operator in the USAF from 1969 to 1973, I find this series very interesting. Hopefully, we will get to see Season 3.
Yes the show need continue if not on the history channel then syfi channel
