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?
For sure – this show needs a new pick up so it can continue….Netflix, Hulu, Amazon?? I’m looking at you:)
My family and I love Project Blue Book. Please renew or find a new home for this show.
Please do season 3>.
Great acting and very good series.
I love project blue book I really hope some network out there picks up the show. I would watch that show for the next 20 or 30 seasons if they made them.
To bad it was a GREAT SHOW WITH GREAT LEGS !! it had a great story line and writers need to finish up what they started the history channel short changed us all
Pleaseeee 3rd season
Yes, please bring Project Blue Book back at least another season or longer. There is still plenty of stories to explore including continuing the story from the last episode of season two. This is an intelligent program, very well told stories, excellent acting and a pleasure to follow. This is the best such series since the X-Files which I dearly miss. I truly hope this show will be renewed.
Somebody please pick up and continue Project Blue Book!! Netflix? Amazon?
They always cancel the greatest show’s!!!!! INCONCEIVABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To Whom It May Concern: Project Blue Book was the greatest series ever on television in my opinion . I’ve watched the first season and it was amazing. The writing was superb along with the acting and superb special effects. Genius , it was. Now the second season I just recently ordered it from Amazon. I move to another state and I have yet to get my cable working. I can not wait to watch my purchased dvd of season two. I’m a avid reader and anything else pertaining to this subject. Let’s be honest I’m a true fanatic when… Read more »
Where are the season 2 dvds? We must find them. We must find Quinn.
Yes it’s one of the best. I would like eight more seasons
We need a third season and more to come for starters we cant be left here when quinn is missing. I kept telling my family I cant wait I wish I had a time machine cause I was so excited and wanted to know. If we cant find a new home for the show a novel will be awesome cause then we can just read and possibly add more than the series showed us. For sum reason books give us more to the story
I am so frustrated that History didnt continue with this awesome series…one of the few tv programs we have watched over last few years. Please bring this terrific show back…make it a new X Files…there is so much potential with this topic!!!! I think this material has to be a visual experience on screen not a book…PROJECT BLUE BOOK, YES!!!!!!!
Project Blue Book is well scripted and the ensemble casting is perfect. So happy to hear the cast is onboard to continue their stories. There have been so many good shows that gave been cancelled, like The Expanse. I sincerely hope the EPs of PBB find a new home that will welcome the show with open arms!
Yesssss!! Bring Project Blue Book back for a 3rd and 4th season!! There are so many story lines to finish. This is an incredible show, well written and acted and a great look into history!! My family loves it!!!!!
