Reminder: Spartacus Vengeance Season Finale is This Friday, 3/30, when the second season of Spartacus comes to a close.
“In the season finale entitled ‘Wrath of the Gods,’ dwindling supplies and a superior Roman enemy brings the rebellion to its knees. Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) must restore hope to his people, as they careen towards their final confrontation with Glaber’s (Craig Parker) army.”
But don’t worry folk! Spartacus has been renewed for a third season already, with cast members Liam McIntyre, Lucy Lawless, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Dustin Clare, Nick E. Tarabay and Katrina Law.

Terra Nova Won’t Be Going to Netflix
Netflix is apparently bailing on trying to save Terra Nova. Which isn’t a surprise to me, being as how expensive it was to produce for the network with deeper pockets. Plus I wasn’t so sure it could happen if the cast had moved on to other projects already. Be it as it may,
“Netflix and 20th Television unable to come to terms to revive the series.”
And on a scary note for the cast, the production studio still holds options on the cast, so if Fox does get it going… the cast would have to drop what they’re doing or try to make arrangements.

I was doing a little research the other day and something caught my eye that led me to think that maybe Terra Nova is getting canceled. That, and by virtue of some of that same research, I learned a little bit about a new HBO series called To Appomattox.
"Stephen, is that our new show over there? I don't know, let's go look Jason!"

The last I saw, the jury is still out on whether Fox’s Terra Nova, the sci-fi series with Steven Spielberg‘s name attached, is going to get a second season or not.
Fox has hem-hawed about renewals for Terra Nova, House & Fringe. But a Fox exec noted that Terra Nova “was hunting for itself creatively through the season.” and reports say that the show didn’t meet audience expectations, with its TV ratings putting it outside the coveted range of shows for the network.

Terra Nova first had a very long production delay because of some creative issues with the production effects, or so they said. And then the show started off incredibly predictable and thus not that engaging. Yet as the show developed, so too did the story and I was watching on Twitter where it did start to engage some fans. But the engagement may have taken too long to take hold!
And another reason we haven’t heard about any renewal is that I think Fox is waiting to see who Alcatraz and Touch will do. If these two shows become ratings hits, I think Terra Nova is doomed.
But then again, there’s other writing on the wall that isn’t being spoken of on other websites…

I think Terra Nova Is Getting Canceled!
