Entertainment Weekly gossip reporter (a usually accurate one) is reporting that Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles is done. That although an official announcement is awaiting the up-fronts in May, multiple inside sources are saying that the series is over.
Here is a link to the original article: Scoop: Fox set to terminate ‘Sarah Connor Chronicles’
Remember, this “inside information” is still rumor (though strong rumor). A writer for the show has issued a tweet that implies this is related to a previously discredited blog post from March.
Still, there are a couple of cable nets that might be intrigued enough by the series that they’d consider it if the Ausiello report is true. I wouldn’t count on SyFy (nee SciFi)…they like their original stuff and their series budgets are often committed far in advance. (As we found out when FOX cancelled Firefly.)
As for me… I’m continuing on with the fanfic project regardless. I like to think that we fans can continue the saga in an orderly way so that some really cool tales can be told in a structured writer’s room sort of way. Check out the forum for details, or get your first taste with TTSCC Season 3 Fanfic Writer’s Room 1 – Intro & Bible.
Nah, thats complete crap:

It’s a fun interview. I forgot to post a link to it yesterday. At least it’s here, now. Thanks for posting it.
At this point, either it’s going to get renewed or it isn’t. FOX execs have demonstrated support for the show—partly because they do like it, and partly because they understand their own history in this genre. I’ve already posted that I think it’s in their best long-term interest to use it as a tent-pole to build a brand for Fridays…especially now that the BSG juggernaut isn’t looming. When you look at the sorts of pilots they’ve been buying the past couple of years, keeping TTSCC is the best bet, I think.
It would also help if they’d really commit. Give the show a guaranteed-to-air 22-episode order. Promote like crazy. Tout that they are retaking Friday nights. Make it cool to be fighting with Tom, Summer, BAG, and Shirley.
Oh yeah, and change the name of the series: Terminator: Connor’s War
