Terra Nova buyer pulls out
Talks have fallen down between 20th Century Fox TV and Netflix over the terms for the streaming service to exclusively show the sci-fi series Terra Nova.
The series, produced on the Gold Coast was axed by network Fox TV earlier this month, with Netflix beginning talks with the studio soon after.
However, 20th TV has not given up looking for a possible broadcaster, reports Deadline.
If the program can’t find a broadcaster for a second season it won’t return to the Gold Coast where up to 300 crew, most of which were Australian were employed and millions invested in the region.
The series, produced by Steven Spielberg, is billed as the most expensive TV series in history. The 13-part season ran at $70m with the pilot episode costing $20m.
The series hit a number of walls during production including key staff departures, the 2011 Queensland floods and inflating budgets.
In Australia, the show aired on Ten on Sundays.
Now this is a shame

Very distressing news!! I started watching the previous series because my family is friends with a couple of the actors.. no I’m not biased! I absolutely loved the series and couldn’t wait each week for the next show. I think its soooo sad to see that such an impactuous series is being scratched!! Surely Foxtel or Austar could take this up?? or just put the series on DVD I will be the first to BUY IT!!
