4400 More

August 23, 2006

20060823_4400_260x220.jpgIn keeping with our “fate-of-science-fiction-television-shows” theme today, we’ re happy to report that USA Network has picked up “The 4400” for another season.

Are you watching this show? 4400 people dissappear over several years and then are returned to earth with super powers? Who abducted them? Aliens seem the obvious answer, right? Oh no, friends … it’s humans from the future.

When it debuted in 2003, we were sure it would falter based on the premise alone. But the show has now gained enough of an audience for USA to call the show a “ratings blockbuster.” The show has even survived the soap-opera convention of bringing back a long-dead character, played by Billy Campbell. We’ll give props where they are due.

USA’s statement is that "this show continues to thrive creatively from year to year … and we're looking forward to another season filled with intriguing characters, unique twists and incredibly suspenseful storylines."

It’s third season premires this Sunday night, and the next season will start in summer '07.
