FOX Pretty Much Confirms Fringe has been Renewed for Second Season

Fans of J.J. Abrams’ sci-fi show Fringe should be happy at this news. No, not that Fringe will be moving its production from New York to Vancouver next year (although the show is supposedly based in Boston, natch), but that there will be a next year. Then again, considering the favorite time slot FOX put Fringe, was there really any doubt they had a soft spot for the show?

Here’s a press release Warner Bros. TV sent out regarding the movie (via):

“In this challenging and uncertain economic environment, we have made the very difficult decision to move… We did not come to this conclusion easily, but economic and practical imperatives dictated that this decision be made in a timely manner.”

There’s a whole thing about tax incentives driving the production away from New York and other politics of unimportance to us. What is important is the fact that Fringe has all but been guaranteed a renewal for season 2. After all, the production wouldn’t be spending all this money to make the move to Vancounver if there wasn’t still a production schedule (say, for next season) in place. Get it?

It’s too bad FOX decided to kill Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse before it even got a chance, but gave Fringe every chance in the book, including those ridiculously coveted timeslots. Oh well, at least we’ll still have one sci-fi show on TV next year from FOX.

    I am so sick of good shows lasting one season and then blip their gone. Thankfully Fringe will be coming back. I have found this to keep your interest with all the twists and turns the story makes and the continuing mystery of its cast. At least with a 2nd season it might turn out to be another Xfiles if given half the chance to know its characters, but not all at once.nHere’s to the good old days when you could count on a series lasting more than one season.
