Confirming earlier speculation here at KSiteTV that perhaps NBC has given up on Day One, The Futon Critic website is reporting that the show has been further cut and may not air for more than a “backdoor pilot” TV-movie.
No air date has been set, but NBC’s Angela Bromstad told the Futon Critic that it’ll likely be seen “towards the end of the season.”
“It will be a pilot where you could see where it could go in series but there will be a [resolution] at the end of the two hours,” she says.
Sci Fi Wire has additional comments from Bromstad about the decision. “We looked at after V launched and after FlashForward launched with a strong initial thing, we didn’t want to come on after that. As we sat down with [executive producer] Jesse [Alexander] and talked about more of the mythology, there’s just concern about sustaining that.”
