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?

Maybe you can get the SyFy channel to pick this up. It’s the perfect genre for this show and you’d have the exact audience needed for ratings.
Please!!! i love this Show!!
i’m waiting for seson 2…
From Italy..
Please do not cancel The Event.
LOL. Penny
The Event should be continued. We found the series and enjoyed it so much we made up the earlier episodes on line to catch up on the story. We have been devoted viewers ever since last fall. We watch the day after it airs and many of are friends do watch this way, on line or on cable delay. We have told many people about the series and most are catching up on the story before they view the current shows. This is a very well written and produced series and is more intellectually stimulating than stupid sitcoms. Shows like… Read more »
The Event is awesome! But it had a tough time slot. If the show moves, I would continue to watch it and hope it keeps the same high tempo cliffhanger episodes that NBC introduced. There was just too many levels of the event left to explore!
Do not cancel this show!!!!! The Event is my favorite show on TV. It makes Mondays a good day.
Love The Event! Why do all of the smart and interesting shows get cancelled? Please find another home for it. I already get Netflix and Hulu Plus, as well as, expanded cable.
The show rocks last nights episode was thrilling, informative, and riveting. I was suffering from a terrible headache and I watched all the way to the end was glad I did too. But then I go to talk about it with others and I fing out it was cancelled. Typical. No Ordinary family, Stargate Universe, and now The Event. I’ll have nothing to watch on any of my channels.
Pout 🙁
I love this show “The Event” been watching it since it began. I demand at least one more season for closure! This show each week has made my heart race and blood rush excessively by it’s immense intensity plot and storyline. The writing, drama, acting, everything about this show is great and i don’t want to see it be unplugged prematurely! NBC has cancelled all my other shows in the past and if they do it to this one then i have no faith in the network once so ever. And i will never watch another damn NBC show ever… Read more »
GREAT SHOW! If I miss it when it regularly airs I seek it out with the On Demand feature. I hope it returns!!
I can’t believe that this show, now my favorite tv show since since 24, has been cancelled! I am very upset and I hope that it gets picked up by another tv station. How about getting rid of some of these stupid reality shows and keep this action drama that has a good story line! Not happy with NBC!
As a SyFi addict for 68 years, The Event was one that had me hooked. NBC should
realize that by their track record with dropping shows such as this, whatever comes
from them next, can’t assure its fans to have faith in NBC to pull the plug so fast. I’d
rather stay with another network during primetime.
I love the event! I am an avid viewer and have gotten several friends and family members to follow the show! I have cable show I didn’t watch regular broadcasting unless a sporting event was only being televise d on that station! I saw the previews and started watching the event and have become addicted. The event actually got me to watching other shows on nbc! I certainly hope some other venue will pick up this wonderful program and not change the program! The acting is great and the plot is fantastic!
Please save The Event. I love this show. Whatever channel you decide to put it on, I’ll watch. I have cable and I’m a netflix suscriber. NBC always cancel the shows I love. Look at HEROES, I was addicted to that show. They ended it with no closure at all. That pissed me off. Please don’t do that to The Event. In my opinion, HEROES and the Event was two of the best shows NBC offered along with Law and Order SVU..
Come on guys! Just because The Event is telling us the truth it must not be cancelled!
I love the show!! Brazil loves The Event!!
The Event forever 🙂
