RENEWALS

News this week that FOX have commissioned a second season of TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. A further thirteen episodes will be added to the nine episode first season and there are hints that FOX will add a further nine shows to their second season order sooner rather than later.

BBC THREE has ordered six more episodes of human/ werewolf/ vampire flatshare drama BEING HUMAN following the well-received pilot earlier this year. The channel has already ordered a full series of PHOO ACTION, the first of the experimental drama pilots.

B-SKY-B are developing two sixty-minute scripts for a revival of BLAKE'S SEVEN for Sky One, in association with license-holder Blake 7 Productions (who, after many false-starts including previous plans for a live-action update and, believe-it-or-not, an animated version, did manage several reimagined audio dramas for CD and BBC SEVEN). Sky One had previously toyed with the idea of a revival of THE PRISONER before deciding the revival of such an iconic property was an unwise move. At this point, it remains to be seen if the new BLAKE'S SEVEN will actually enter production.
