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?
Definitely want to see another season of Blue Book! It is unlike any other show combining drama with real life events. And the cast is superb! My fingers are crossed! And do release Season 2 on BR!
Absolutely I would love to see a couple more years of Project Blue Book..Felt like we were just getting up and running. Love the cast and would love to see more of them…Eagerly awaiting the new twists and turns of amazing plots based on real cases..Intriguing..Please continue the show if at all.possible!! Really look forward to them..thank you yolanda tamez ind.
..
Love this show!
The series Project Blue Book is an outstanding series. The cast is excellent. The storyline is fantastic and addictive. I find that many folks have not heard of the series but are interested once they have heard the storyline. Canceling season 3 and beyond would be a tragedy. The Project Blue Book series is better than most junk on prime time channels. Please continue the series !!!
I love project blue book and want it come back!! Please find a way to bring it back!
Please please season 3. Best thing to come out of the US since X-Files. Loved in the UK
I’am really devastated that the series has been cancelled. This was not just a normal tv show. This was a programme which had carried true facts and honest content. I think its a huge insult to viewers that a room consisting of a handful of people deny the great majority what they want, ie, a third series. Far too much modern day television is based around so called reality tv. This is a subject that was and still is real and is also a hotly debated topic.
We LOVE PBB!! We hope there is at least a season 3 and 4 whatever channel it lands on!
This is the best Syfy programme for a long time. Why is it, that all the best shows get cancelled?? Surely they can’t stop it now, just when Hynek and Quinn are finding evidence and Quinn is missing. Series 3 and hopefully 4, is a must !! Please keep it going !!
Hopefully youll find a way of continuing,strangely addictive show which me and the missus love.come back soon ***
I absolutely love Project Blue Book ! Absolutely want a season 3 , 4, 5, 6 , ect . ect . Please bring it back !!
Of course we want a season 3 are history mad this is now the best show on TV apart from the orville there’s not much on TV these days it’s mostly garbage but project blue book is amazing
I don’t like the show, I love the show. Please bring it back, if not how can we ever find the Captain?
Why the hell do channels cancel well made and popular shows yet let all the crappy shows run on ? I hope this gets picked up by another mainstream channel and If not I hope some of the streaming services pick it up like Netflix.
Project bluebook fantastic series loved series 1 and 2 great cast, so looking forward to series 3
Why cancell now , could it be political…….too close to the truth???
maybe they threw this show to HC-like a bone-b/c that channel doesnt have anything else. perhaps now they’re worried that UFO believers are tuning in, and they’re scared..? as Dr Hynek points out to Capt. Quinn: ‘we have to act like we don’t believe, so that we can continue our jobs, continue our search for the truth, without being a threat.’ the first season was very skeptical and the reports were written off as erroneous. season 2 has much more difficult cases and political skulduggery on the menu. you decide.
