Out of all the recent post apocalyptic productions we've covered here on Quiet Earth, the BBC's remake of Survivors is easily the most controversial. Some people loved it and others loathed it. Some considered certain episodes better than others while others wrote the whole thing off as a series of missed opportunities. And of course during this hearty debate rumors flew back and forth about plummeting ratings, the possible cancellation of a second season, and whether or not half of the cast would even be returning.
So what's true and what isn't? Well, in a recent interview with Survivors main writer and executive producer Adrian Hodges, he explains that while the ratings did slump by mid series, they picked up by the last two weeks and the show was considered successful by him as well as the BBC who have indeed picked the show up for a second season. He also states that ALL the cast will be returning, despite rumors, but that he can't vouch for how long Joseph Paterson(Greg Preston) will return for as it would ruin the season one cliff hanger.
More after the break...
Hodges also explains that viewers can expect to see a decidedly darker vision as the series progresses:
"There was a lot in the second half that I wanted to use, but over a long period of time… the structure of the world begins to disintegrate, you’ll see more of the world collapsing. It will gradually become more tribal, in the sense that people will form alliances and groups."
For those of you interested, the full season of Survivors hits DVD in Europe on January 26 '09 and you can order it here.
Of course our own Ben Austwick was following the show as it aired in the UK. You can catch up with all his reviews below.
