Word came down today that NBC was cancelling The Event after one season. The serial drama drew positive numbers at the beginning but they have been in decline for much of the season.
The show may not be dead just yet though. Deadline reports that there are talks underway to continue the series elsewhere. Executive producer Steve Stark declined to comment but word is that Netflix may be interested in picking up the show. Netflix had no comment. There’s also supposedly been interest from cable and digital outlets.
Stark noted that they are investigating different options with the full support of Universal Media Studios, the show’s producer. He said, “NBC has been an amazing partner, it launched the show beautifully.”
Series creator Nick Wauters added, “We have a dedicated fan base, and we promised them we will deliver one way or another and will continue to tell our stories.”
Actor Ian Anthony Dale, Simon Lee on The Event, tweeted, “To our amazing fans, our time on NBC may be over, but we are working hard to find a new home that shares our collective enthusiasm.”
What do you think? Should The Event be saved? Where would be the best new home for the series? Would you pay to watch it?

I hope “The Event” is renewed in some capacity. It’s non-stop suspense storyline still has a lot of unanswered questions that need to be addressed.
Save the show I really like the show!!!
Save the show!
Yes we all would pay to see it. Great show. I believe it was cancelled. I know that many of the fans did not realize it was back on after being off so suddenly and so long.
Please save the show!! I have been an avid fan since the first and have never missed an episode. Please, please find a way to continue–cable network, perhaps? I am on the edge of my seat for the entire hour it is on.
Save the show, sell it somewhere else. We would watch it on netflix. or hulu plus. We would pay to watch it. Keep it going. We love it.
dont be stupid!!!!!! save this great show
Save the show. One of the best I have seen.
Save the show, I am a fan!
Save the show!! Watching it in South Africa, really enjoy it! Please do whatever it takes to keep it on air!
Please don’t cancel this show. One of few good ones on tv.
Save it. I will watch it anywhere.
Save the show. It is one of the few shows that has some real teeth into political and scientific genres. I rearrange my schedule to watch this show. Hopefully, I can continue to see more of the twists and turns of the relational dynamics.
Save the show! It’s been a great show from day 1. Some people didn’t get the flashbacks and it was on against Monday night football and DWTS when it started. If it had been in a differnt time slot it would of had a lot more viewers. After the long break, the flashbacks were gone and the story just got better and better each week! Give The Event a chance. It’s one of the best things on TV.
The first couple of episodes I really liked, but in the middle in really dragged. However, I liked the last two episodes and wish it could have gotten another season. NOW it seemed like the story would be interesting, especially with more sci-fi aspects in the technological differenes, etc. Hopefully cable or someone else will pick it up.
Save the Show, Let it have a chance
