I never really gave Defying Gravity a shot, mostly because the concept of Grey’s Anatomy In Space made me want to barf. I have no use for Grey’s Anatomy, so any offshoot of it, well, ain’t that tempting. Recent rumors have Defying Gravity being canceled after just eight episodes. This, says ABC, is not true.
The Futon Critic has the word from the Alphabet network themselves that the show is not, despite rumors to the contrary, canceled. In fact, it was always the plan to air just the first eight episodes of the show’s first season, which was originally scheduled for 13 episodes.
So when can fans of Defying Gravity (I’m assuming it has fans, right? though frankly, the ratings don’t seem to bear that out) see the remaining five episodes? According to the Futon Critic, ABC is currently mulling its “scheduling options”, which means soon, or later, or possibly never. This wouldn’t be the first time a network decides to shelve unaired episodes of a failing show, even if they’ve already spent the money to make them.
So yeah, Defying Gravity has NOT been canceled. It just, well, ain’t gonna be airing anytime soon. Stay tune, Grey’s Anatomy in Space fans!
Hey, guys, I think I saw a black hole. Oh wait, that's just our second season. Nevermind.
