FOX Pulls the Plug on Vampire Series “The Passage” After One Season
Mark-Paul Gosselaar (“Saved by the Bell”) starred in FOX’s “The Passage”, a vampire series from executive producer Ridley Scott, based on Justin Cronin’s best-selling fantasy book trilogy, that premiered back in January. The first season came to an end in March, and we’ve sadly learned today that the Season 1 finale has just been made into the *series* finale.
As reported by Deadline, Fox has cancelled “The Passage” after one season.
The reason? As per usual, the ratings just weren’t strong enough.
In the series:
When a botched U.S. government experiment turns a group of death row inmates into highly infectious vampires, an orphan girl might be the only person able to stop the ensuing crisis.
The cast also included Vincent Piazza as Clark Richards, Brianne Howey as Shauna Babcock, Jamie McShane as Dr. Tim Fanning, Caroline Chikezie as Dr. Major Nichole Sykes and Emmanuelle Chriqui as Dr. Lila Kyle.
Today, Prime Video announced that Emily Mortimer (Relic), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte), and Thomasin McKenzie (Victorian Psycho, Eileen) have joined the cast of Season Three of Fallout.
The hit series begins production on its third season this month in Los Angeles.
The series based on the video games tells “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free), and Dave Register (FBI).
Aaron Paul (Anything But Ghosts) has also joined the cast for Season Three, as previously announced.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.
