It reportedly had a lot to do with the heavy costs and production challenges. I do remember there were a lot of cooks in the kitchen on a show like that. We had such a blast, oh my gosh. But again, it was a very expensive show as well. I remember there were a lot of political undertones to the original pilot and the meaning, and I think what happens is sometimes that can get diluted into making some type of - not soapy, but it becomes whatever people feel like it needs to be.

And then, you know, it was over. I loved Australia. Therefore, it is no surprise that Spielberg handpicked Lang himself for the role and he became the first person cast on the show. The show had some unique dinosaurs and this was in part thanks to paleontology expert Jack Horner. Horner, who had also worked on Jurassic Park , set the show in the Cretaceous period, where folks only know about a tenth of the dinosaurs that existed at the time.

This cleverly allowed the show to have a mix of well-known dinosaurs but also some that no one had ever seen before, like the Slashers or Acceraptors in the pilot. Importantly, these dinosaurs had a certain realism to them as Horner helped to develop these dinosaurs' probable appearance and behavior.

Sadly, the show's often terrible CGI meant that fans never got to properly enjoy the intricacy and thought that was put into these animals. In early March , it became clear that Fox was no longer interested in making Terra Nova after the high costs and production difficulties of season one. The show was still relatively successful so it was no surprise that other networks like Syfy started showing interest in picking up the show.

Netflix got the furthest in the discussions and they were even willing to move production to Hawaii in order to further cut costs. Unfortunately, after weeks of talks, nothing came to pass and the show was officially canned. After Terra Nova was officially canceled, fans tried their best to get the show running again. One of these ways involved sending plastic dinosaurs to Fox, in particular to Kevin Reilly, the then network's chairman of entertainment.

Stars of the show, like Jason O'Mara who played the leading role of Jim Shannon, also got involved in the action. The campaign was meant to draw attention to how popular the show was and sadly, nothing ever came of it.

Although the potential for a second season was always precarious, the writers had already outlined some ideas for the second season. According to Brannon Braga, the colony would have encountered a new breed of highly intelligent dinosaurs.
