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 do a third series, I love the show.
Yes! Please bring back season 3, 4, 5 and 6! Very interesting show great stories and great cast. It’s a shame when there’s a great television show that gets canceled right in the middle. If they can’t bring it back for other seasons at least come back for wrap-up movie! It is one of my favorite shows on television!
Season 3….Season 4 keep going the program is brilliant
I love Project Blue Book! That’s the best show ever much love from Serbia
Definitely need a season 3 and 4 at least, absolutely love it
Best show on TV, please bring it back !!!!
Absolutly love the show and it would be a real loss ending it just when things are really becoming revealed. It follows the actual Project Blue Book and since I know the former director of MUFON James Clarkson and the Alien Hunter, Derrel Sims who’s former assignments include CIA Covert Operations, Senior Military Police Officer and body guard for many dignitaries, I have an inside look at the truth and that’s enough to want more. Just Keep it Real!
This show has been truly amazing and I am gutted that here is possibly not going to be a season 3 of such a damn fine show.
One of theBest sci fi series for a long time why would anyone not want series 3
My family & I love Project Blue Book – please don’t take it away…..
Please bring Season 3 of PBB back. They have done a fantastic job! I was so looking forwatd to next season. I would love to see the History channel continue to host since not everyone has access to other platforms or networks and PBB is a big part of our History…….so the History channel seems to be the perfect host channel! Thanks.
Please, please renew Project Blubook. It’s one of my all time favorite shows.
My wife and I love this show and would follow it to any other channel that picks it up.
I’d definitely like a 3rd & 4th season. Thos show had me on the edge of my seat. I’m a big fan of Laura Mennell & I think she does an impeccable job of complimenting Dr. Hynek; she’s drop dead gorgeous by the way.
Yes. My spouse and I love Project Bluebook! Please find a home.
