‘Pushing Daisies’ May Conclude as a Comic Book
TV Week is reporting what everyone has expected: ABC will not be ordering additional episodes of Pushing Daisies which looks to be buried after December. “Under one scenario making the rounds, ABC might find a way to extend the options on the Daisies cast and crew for several months so that the show could be revived next season. But such a plan would be costly,” the site wrote.
Production on the thirteenth and likely final episode for the second season wrapped Thursday. "If it’s our last episode," Fuller said, "it’s something we can all be proud of."
As a result, there will be just 22 episodes between the strike-shortened first season and the sophomore year.
Creator Bryan Fuller though, told the SRO crowd at the Paley Center for Media on Tuesday that he envisions continuing the story in comic books.
"The idea would be to finish out the season’s story arcs in comic books to satisfy the fans and ourselves, to finish up the stories we’d love to tell," he said. Given that the series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, WildStorm is the most likely home for the show.. The DC Comics imprint already has comics based on the CW’s Supernatural, NBC’s Chuck and Fox’s Fringe.
"That would clear the slate for a movie," Fuller also said. He added that a series soundtrack CD will be out on December 9. Kristin Chenoweth’s duet with Ellen Greene on "Birdhouse in Your Soul" is likely to be included.
Fuller has been heavily rumored as returning to the troubled Heroes should Daisies be trimmed. Nothing further has been announced.
Well, bugger all.
Sad to hear this … but maybe this will finally get my wife to read a comic book!
It figures that one of the few shows on television that isn't "reality based" would be dropped before it was even given a chance. Am I the only one who is sick to death of reality shows and CSI's??
Has anyone started a 'Push Back, Save the Daisies' movement? This show is too good to lose.
wow, i'd definitely follow pushing daisies in any form, really bummed it's canceled in it's current form.
