Jason O’Mara, star of ABC’s recently canceled “Life on Mars”, may be finding new life in prehistoric Earth. Deadline reports that O’Mara is currently in talks to star in the Steven Spielberg-produced prehistoric show “Terra Nova” on Fox.
“Terra Nova” follows the exploits of the Shannons, an ordinary family from 2149 when the planet is dying who are transported back 85 million years to prehistoric Earth where they join Terra Nova, a colony of humans with a second chance to build a civilization. O’Mara would play Jim Shannon, a devoted father with a checkered past who guides his family through this new land of limitless beauty, mystery and terror.
“Terra Nova” is being prepped as a mid-season show on the FOX network.
