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 was kinda disappointed to know “Project Blue Book” is cancelled by HISTORY. This great series can’t be ended like that, having an epic cliffhanger! I do hope that its creators will find a way to renew “Project Blue Book”.

Thank you!
Love project blue book. Personal experience rekindles past experiences . Shame one can not prove it outright. Hope to see 3 and 4
Please do not cancel Project Blue Book. My husband and myself find this so interesting and learning all the history of the things that did happen during this time period, (before our time.) Some of the places that they did look into were never exposed to the public. So now is our chance to see the facts that have been long ago covered up.
Please bring PROJECT BLUEBOOK BACK. VERY DISAPPOINTED. SY-FY WOULD BE A GREAT HOME AS HBO WOULD BE.PLEASE BRI G IT BACK
Please bring back project blue book the show was getting more and more tense and i would love to see more seasons especially a third and fourth season why keep the truth from everybody.
Please sign and share the petition.
Probably the best program that’s been on for ages, would be a crime to end it on a cliffhangers, so many questions un answered
Forget the novel bring season 3 on.
PBB is in the top slot of my DVR recording choices, which means…it’s my favorite show!!! Please do everything you can to bring it back.
Please don’t cancel the show! I don’t understand why it would be canceled? Everyone I have talked to loves the show!
I am hoping someone can save it!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BRING A SEASON 3!!! ILOVETHIS SHOW… OUR WHOLE FAMILY (NEAR AND FAR) WATCH THIS AND DISCUSS THE NEXT DAY!!! YOU JUST CANT CANCEL!!!!
Why you cancelled such a good show with everything going on today world’s it’s nice to watch to help you relax and show some historical fact what a shame
The show is great. I really would like to see it continue. Thank you
In my opinion, it takes more than just 16-20 episodes for a series to develop completely! Look how shaky “Blue Bloods” was when it started its first run on CBS — even with a season containing more episodes than just a handful like you see now on History, Hulu, AppleTV+, CBS All Access, etc. “Blue Bloods” is now a powerhouse series!
With time, so could “Project Blue Book.” I definitely want at least 5 seasons! Not just 2 or 3. If “Project Blue Book” finds a new home, I’ll definitely be there!
Devastated fans have actually created a petition to find the show a new family on a different streaming service. The fight is not over. We need a season 3! https://www.change.org/p/save-project-blue-book-the-tv-series-savebluebook-projectbluebook
the petition is getting apprx 1000 signatures a day. and getting stronger.
It’s just typical of network bosses who have absolutely no idea what people want to watch this show is absolutely amazing fantastic true stories and quality actors and actresses they would rather put reality tv garbage as that is easy to make blue book go else where it’s there loss.
So sad to hear Project Blue Book has been cancelled. One of my favourite shows !! Just got my son watching it too. It was “our” t.v. time together & he was just getting hooked too. Hopefully someone else will pick it up & we’ll have a season 3 !!
