Because the show has not yet begun filming and many aspects of the series are still being decided, FOX has canceled the Terra Nova panel originally scheduled for Friday, July 23 at the Comic-Con International in San Diego.

The series is set to premiere at midseason and will involve time travel and dinosaurs. Steven Spielberg is producing.

No word yet on what will take Terra Nova’s place on the Con schedule.

A panel previewing FOX’s upcoming series Terra Nova is set for Friday, July 23 at the Comic-Con International in San Diego.

Here are the details:

3:30-4:30 Terra Nova— Executive producers Brannon Braga (24, Star Trek: Enterprise) and David Fury (24, Lost), director Alex Graves, and star Jason O’Mara (Life on Mars) offer a glimpse into the highly anticipated epic family adventure 85 million years in the making. This new event drama slated for midseason on FOX comes from the brilliant minds of Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park, The Pacific) and former News Corporation president and COO Peter Chernin and follows an ordinary family on an extraordinary journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a part of a massive expedition to save the human race.

Add two more to the list of creators behind FOX’s upcoming time-travel-dinosaur show, Terra Nova:

Reaper creators Michelle Fazekas and Tara Butters have joined the staff.

A pilot is not yet shot, but the series will be airing on FOX at midseason.

U.S. Life On Mars star Jason O’Mara is going back in time yet again, this time for the new midseason FOX series Terra Nova, Variety has revealed.

“Writing the character of Jim Shannon, we’ve thought of Jason O’Mara as something of an archetype,” executive producer Brannon Braga told the trade. “He has an everyman quality to him, but there’s something dangerous underneath.”

FOX has released an official description for their upcoming series Terra Nova.

It’s in the press release of the Fall schedule, but in case anyone is looking for this specifically, this might be an easier place to find it. Plus, look, we found a logo!

Casting is still underway for a midseason premiere.

From executive producers Steven Spielberg, Peter Chernin, Brannon Braga (24, “Star Trek: Enterprise”) and David Fury (“Lost,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) comes an epic family adventure 85 million years in the making. TERRA NOVA follows an ordinary family embarking on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a massive experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149 the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped, overcrowded and overpolluted. With the majority of plant and animal life extinct, devotion to science has brought mankind to the brink of destruction, but has also provided its only hope for salvation. Knowing there is no way to reverse the damage to the planet, a coalition of scientists has managed to open up a fracture in the space-time continuum, creating a portal to prehistoric Earth. This doorway leads to an amazing world, one that allows for a last-ditch effort to save the human race…possibly changing the future by correcting the mistakes of the past. The series centers on the Shannon family as they join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to TERRA NOVA, the first colony of humans in this second chance for civilization. JIM SHANNON, a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family through this new land of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. Jim’s wife, ELISABETH SHANNON, is a trauma surgeon chosen through a global lottery as a new addition to Terra Nova’s medical team. JOSH SHANNON is their son, mourning the girl he left behind, as he’s torn between two role models – his father and the charismatic COMMANDER FRANK TAYLOR, the leader of the settlement, and the heroic first pioneer through the time portal. MADDY SHANNON, Jim and Elizabeth’s teen daughter, is as independent and adventurous as her parents, but her distrust of authority soon leads her on a dangerous path. In addition to blue skies, rolling rivers and lush vegetation, TERRA NOVA offers new opportunities and fresh beginnings to its recent arrivals, but the Shannons have brought with them a familial secret that may threaten their citizenship in this utopia. Additionally these adventurers soon discover that this healthy, vibrant world is not as idyllic as it initially appears. The areas surrounding Terra Nova are filled with dangerous dinosaurs, and other prehistoric threats, as well as external forces that may be intent on destroying this new world before it begins. But perhaps even more threatening than what lies outside the protective walls is the Shannons’ realization that something sinister may be happening inside TERRA NOVA as not everyone on this mission has the same intentions of how best to save mankind.

Now it’s FOX’s turn to announce their Fall 2010-2011 schedule.

Here’s the press release.

What amazes me is how Human Target will now be on Friday nights, when the only other DC Comics-related TV series, Smallville., is expected to remain.

On the bright side, Terra Nova has been picked up for midseason. That one sounds cool. And they’ve also announced a post-Super Bowl episode for Glee.

James Hibberd’s The Live Feed has weighed in on the latest pilot buzz, and since we’ve been tracking a lot of the networks’ Fall 2010 pilots, we thought we’d share:

CBS
Hawaii Five-O is still the “most likely drama” to be picked up as a series order. Chaos, Defenders, and Bleep My Dad Says all sound like top contenders. Hibberd notes that “nobody seems to like” the Criminal Minds spin-off but it will probably get picked up for mid-season anyway.

FOX
Drama series Breakout Kings, Midland, and Ride-Along are top contenders. The Spielberg dinosaur drama Terra Nova hasn’t had a script delivered yet. Comedies Keep Hope Alive and Traffic Light are “frontrunners.”

NBC
NBC picked up several pilots to series yesterday, but they’re not done yet. The Rockford Files and Chase are still “near-locks.” Hibberd notes (good news!) that even though it was said NBC was choosing between The Event and The Cape, The Cape is now “generating unexpected heat.”

ABC
ABC is eyeing an 8PM timeslot for No Ordinary Family. (They seriously should come up with a better name, though – I still keep getting it confused with Modern Family!) Detroit 187 and Shonda Rhimes’ Off The Map are still called “sure bets.” For comedies, Mr. Sunshine with Matthew Perry seems the strongest.

The CW
Nikita is “practically on the schedule,” and Hibberd notes that the network is also excited about Betwixt (aka Changelings.) Hellcats is also “well liked.” Nomads and HMS are considered “long shots.”

You can read Hibberd’s full column here.

Both THR and Deadline.com have posted updated tallies of how certain pilots are doing, including a few that are being covered here at KSiteTV.

At NBC, both say The Rockford Files has good chances, although Deadline says that the network has not seen the pilot yet. It sounds like J.J. Abrams’ Undercovers will definitely be on the air this Fall. Chances sound good for David E. Kelley’s pilot Kindreds, although there are some pilots NBC is more excited about.

THR says nothing about The Cape, but Deadline is saying that it seems like it’s between The Cape and The Event for a spot on the NBC schedule, with The Cape flying in slightly ahead right now.

David Tennant’s Rex Is Not Your Lawyer has had a reworked pilot which has “tested well” according to Deadline. THR didn’t mention it.

NBC also has some sitcoms that have been received well at the network. Those include This Little Piggy, Friends With Benefits, Perfect Couples, and Outsourced.

THR says the CBS Hawaii Five-O pilot screening “went great,” and the Jim Belushi drama The Defenders is also looking good. William Shatner apparently “nailed” the taping for the sitcom Bleep My Dad Says, and Chuck Lorre’s Mike & Molly apparently had a “great taping.”

Apparently FOX really likes the Texas con-man drama Midland, which is directed by future Spider-Man director Marc Webb. Terra Nova sounds like it’s a done deal for a 13-episode order. A new sitcom from My Name Is Earl creator Greg Garcia, titled Keep Hope Alive, is showing promise.

Deadline is listing most of ABC’s dramas as “looking good, sight unssen.” THR, however, calls No Ordinary Family a “stand out” and says 187 Detroit and Off The Map (the latter from Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes) are looking strong.

The Matthew Perry-starring comedy Mr. Sunshine and Debra Messing’s Wright vs. Wrong seem to also be doing well.

Deadline says The CW’s Nikita and Hellcats are “very strong” and “very on-brand” which is interesting considering Hellcats isn’t even finished yet. They say Betwixt is “cooling off,” though what exactly it is cooling off from is vague. They also have good things to say about Nomads, though they worry it might not fit the network brand. Some early script reviews for Nomads have also come in very good.

THR, on the other hand, gives props to Nikita and says the network is “also excited” about Betwixt, without mentioning the other programs.

Here’s the current schedule for when we will know the networks’ Fall line-ups. Generally, though, the schedules often leak a day or two earlier:

Monday, May 17
NBC (Morning)
FOX (Afternoon)

Tuesday, May 18
ABC (Afternoon)

Wednesday, May 19
CBS (Afternoon)

Thursday, May 20
The CW (Morning)

Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello is reporting that FOX has made a “very lucrative offer” to actor Kyle Chandler to take the lead role in Terra Nova, their new prehistoric-era series from executive producers Steven Spielberg and Peter Chernin.

Chandler is best known to current TV audiences for his continuing lead role in Friday Night Lights, which is said to wrap after the fifth season is done. Myself, I remember him best for playing the role of Gary Hobson on the excellent Early Edition. (Well, it started off good anyway, until Chuck left, at least…)

No word yet on if he will accept the offer, but he IS definitely leading-man material for a series like this. It could be… dino-mite!
