syfy取消Blood Drive - 歐美

這是剛剛發自本劇原創James Roland的推文，公布了這個或許會讓劇迷感到傷心的事實。

他也在推文中加上了他個人的意見

不幸的，觀眾們的猜疑是對的，syfy取消了本劇，假如這個新聞讓你不悅，你並不孤單。

我也是不久前才得知，但得要想個方式由我將這消息告訴劇迷。
最終我決定要等到最後一集播出後才將消息曝光，以免影響各位的興致。這只是因為太早
戳破感覺不太對，特別是對於最後一集的發展。
我們一直的規劃都是兩季，但現在本劇的未來不確定的最後一幕卻看似如此有完結感。

假如我沒有機會述說我個人對於後續的發展，我會非常的難過。

但好消息是，那也能由你來填補，現在故事可以交付給你來想像，從首播之際就是如此，
假如你喜歡，就能用你自己的想像發揮。

全文如下：

Dear Bleeders,

Unfortunately, your suspicions are correct. Syfy has canceled Blood Drive
after one season.

If this news makes you angry or sad, you’re not alone.

I found out not too long ago, but have been trying to think of a way to tell
you guys since I felt it was up to me to let the fans know.

Ultimately I decided to wait until after the final episode aired so the news
did not taint your experience. It simply didn’t seem right to burst the
bubble so early, especially with how the last episode plays out. We always
planned for a season two, but now that the future of the show is uncertain
the final scenes seem so much more … final.

If I never get the chance to tell my version of what comes next, I’ll be
incredibly sad.

But the good news is, then you can make up your own. The story is yours now,
it always was from the first moment it was broadcast. If you love it, take it
and play with it in your own imagination.

The future is not set, in our world or the world of Blood Drive.

As to the reasons why the show is cancelled, I’m not privy to all the
details. Obviously the ratings were low, but it was also a very noisy show on
social media (thanks to you guys!) and a very well-reviewed show with critics
as well.

This I do know: despite canceling us, Syfy was the only network with the
steel to make the show in the first place.

When the script was making the rounds I took a LOT of meetings. Every place
loved to sing its praises. One major cable network flat out told me that if
they’d made the show they’d make me the showrunner, give me a larger
budget, and generally suck all my parts.

But guess what? They didn’t make the show, so it was easy for them to say.

It was Syfy that took the risk, and for that I’m forever grateful, even if I
did get super pissy whenever I couldn’t show enough gore and dick and
titties. But I’m confident they knew it was just because I’m a pervert and
didn’t take it personally.

I’m bummed that Blood Drive didn’t pay off for them the way they wanted but
I can’t believe we got away with a full season of the CRAZIEST show on TV.

We owe them props for making all this insanity possible.

So what about the future of Blood Drive?

Unclear. There’s definitely no season two in the immediate future, but I
remain cautiously optimistic there’s more story to tell in this world.
NBC|Universal owns the show so when the time comes I’ll approach them with
some ideas and we’ll see what they think.

Until then, just do what Bleeders do best, share the show with others, share
the #RenewBloodDrive hashtag, and generally be awesome. And enjoy season one
on its own merits even if we never see more episodes.

Everyone involved in this show was amazing, too many to list them all, but if
you want to track down past and future endeavors of some shockingly talented
people, just IMDB the shit out of our crew. They were given incredible
creative freedom so their contributions speak directly to their talents.

I try to express my gratitude online as much as possible, but it never seems
enough.

All the Bleeders that have gone nuts for this show, you were the most
rewarding part of a very rewarding process.

The world of Blood Drive has been in my head for over five years, and for the
past two I’ve devoted the bulk of my waking hours to making it a reality.
Along the way we built one of the very best crews I’ve ever worked with,
from writers’ assistant (Alex!) up to showrunner (Hlavin!).

I made lifelong friends.

I got to make a show that I love so much I actually watch episodes as a fan
(don’t tell anyone it makes me sound like a douchebag).

The past two years are maybe the best of my life, creatively and personally.
But none of that prepared me for how incredible it was seeing the show
connect with you all on a deep level.

So thank you for watching and thank you for loving and thank you for
nitpicking and thank you for tweeting and thank you for bleeding for this
show.

It means so damn much to every person that already bled for it (sometimes
literally).

Thank you from the bottom of Heart Enterprises.

Sincerely,
James Roland
