Prototype is not moving forward. Deadline reports Syfy has passed on the series pilot.
The sci-fi drama “centered on three unlikely cohorts who inadvertently stumble upon an invention that challenges the very nature of quantum physics – a discovery which in turn puts their lives in grave danger.” The pilot stars Jack Davenport and Cote de Pablo.
Universal Cable Productions, the studio behind Prototype, is reportedly shopping the series elsewhere.
What do you think? Do you watch Syfy? Would you watch Prototype?
I would have liked to see this pilot. Sounds very promising.
I would have loved to see the pilot for this series only because of Cote de Pablo who has been a longtime favorite actress since NCIS. I would definitely have watched the series only because of her her but do enjoy most Sci-Fi movies and TV series. It’s a pity they made this decision without airing the pilot giving it a chance for the viewers to see what they are missing!
Still waiting for Cote de Pablo to resurface in a meaningful, linear, series.
I feel they missed out on new viewers who would have followed Cote de Pablo. What a loss for the syfy channel to obtain viewers who normally would not watch anything on their channel. Hope to see Cote de Pablo back on weekly television soon. NCIS has not been the same since she left and her longtime fans will watch closely for her next project.
So sad this show is no longer moving forward. It had an interesting plot and something I was looking forward to watching! I wish the TV execs would reconsider or another station would pick this show up.
This show sounded interesting and I was looking forward to watching it. So sad that Syfy decided to pass on it!!! It would be great if Syfy reconsidered or another station picked it up.
Typical tv executives that don’t know good tv. Record executives come to mind.
That’s a shame since it sounded pretty good. Might have even caused me to return to the station.
Would like to see Cote in a series again. Premise of Prototype is interesting. Would love to see this on another channel other than HBO.
I was looking forward to a knew show a the SyFy channel that was actually science fiction, it seems all the want to run anymore are horror films or show that don’t have anything do do with science fiction. It is a shame, now when I sit down to a couple of hours of television the SyFy channel is one of the last ones I scan.
if it going to pull crappy ratings like the second season of 12 Monkeys and Wynonna Earp, definitely shop it elsewhere. How many shows with weekly ratings under a 0.20 can you renew and expect to be taken seriously? Is this network still being taken seriously?
