FlashForward Boss Reveals Season 2 Talks Have Taken Place

FlashForward Season 2?

FlashForward co-creator David Goyer recently revealed to SciFi Wire that he has held talks with ABC about the possibility of a second season for the show. Goyer confirms that the producers have a plan for in place for season 2 and that they’re waiting for the network to make a decision over whether or not to renew.

Head past the jump for full details.

Goyer also revealed that he has already discussed a second season with the network.

“We just pitched season two to the network right before this,” Goyer said. “[It went] well. We’re excited about season two. I will say there’s no way we could do season two without having set up season one, but season two is pretty cool. I hope we get to do it.”

There may be a ratings number that the second half of the season would have to hit in order for ABC to renew it, but the network has not given the show any specifics. “I don’t know what that number is,” Goyer said. “They haven’t told us, because the other factors are the DVR numbers, and we are also doing incredibly well overseas. I mean, incredibly well, like smashing records overseas. So it’s a complicated formula. It’s not anymore just ‘Well, how many millions of viewers are tuning in at the moment it’s there?’”

  • Dissapointed in South Africa
    Im in South Africa and can't understand why they cancel a great show like FlashForward (that so many people were enjoying watching) and then they keep giving us rubbish reality shows. I personally NEVER watch those reality shows. I think they are utter CRAP!! So the more they cut decent shows like Flashforward the less we will have to watch on TV. Bring back Flashforward for season 2,3,4,5......

    ON OCTOBER 6, THE PLANET BLACKED OUT FOR TWO MINUTES AND SEVENTEEN SECONDS, THE WHOLE WORLD SAW THE FUTURE...................
    FlashForward Season 1 was very interesting and lovely, relationship between characters was very good and definite that I can conclude that it has a strong mind at behind, then I say congratulation to it's group made that. It has a very surprised ''end'' that everyone got confused.
    But I like that it must be countinue, because I addicted to it!!!
  • Florcita06
    I'm still watching season 1 in Argentina and I wouldn't like fot it to be cancelled, I like it a lot and I actually recorded and watch it later, coz is the only way I get to see it!! Let's hope for season 2 to happen, I'm really looking forward to it!!
  • Flower
    Also in Switzerland are a lot of FF fans. Please don't stop these perfect show!!!
  • Anyone think any of the networks will read this, and perhaps pick it up? Such a shame that a truly involving and brilliantly written show should not continue....
    I've signed the petition from here in New Zealand!
    Hopefully someone takes notice.....
  • Alizee
    BRING FLASH FORWARD BACK!
  • Flashforward
    I`m from Austria (Europe) and FlashForward was one of the best shows I have seen in the last years! It was the show my wife and me was waiting for. Stunning, exciting and intelligent!!!
    Please make season 2,3,4etc !!!!!
  • Kro_cod6
    Need a season two §
  • Shawhawks
    they keep stupid show like wife swap and dating in the dark. Mindless shows... When we have a show that actually gets our heads working they cancell it. WOW!!! Hopefully someone with common sense at ABC or another network will bring back Flash Forward, the best show on the air now that lost is no more. At least we got to know the ins and outs of lost. FF leaves us on our appetite!!
  • Angelo
    I don't understand why these morons cancelled such a good show!!!
    I'm from Europe and everybody here LOVES FlashForward!
    I just can't believe there won't be a second season because these ABC-idiots are unable to do their job well.
  • ABC should give us reasons for their stupid action on canceling the fantastic, fabulous, wonderful show ever created on the planet. I've seen many show through these years. But It's the only one that I dreamed about, thought about, talked about it. Someone should answer for this lame action to the viewers. someone should take the responsibility and get fired. I hate ABC for wasting my time on those stupid advertisement. Wish the responsible ones burn in hell ... lol
  • Penquin79
    these kind a situations just show how $ orienteided tv- companys are. they are not serving ppl.
    you there in US should really give some hard feedback for those companys.
    like some of you, i also pissed of when they cancelled sarah connor chronicles. also, couple years ago, was some mystery serie,which not even go end of s01! and it was good serie!

    this is like you are taking clothes of from beautiful girl, and just when there are only panties left, girl got phone call, and she have to leave back home, in northpole, goddammit.

    greetings from finland.
  • tasha

  • DeX
    Iam from Germany and watched the last Episode a few Minutes ago...and now i landet here and want to cry...did the ABC-Guys lost their minds?...FF is one of the best Shows i/we ever watched here and now its over, after only one episode? thats like the end of Lost...a punch in our faces!
  • Rix
    I cannot believe there will not be another season of FlashForward.

    Its one of the few programmes I actually watched and I enjoyed the whole series and every episode.

    There are many questions left unanswered and I see great potential for season 2.

    BRING BACK FLASHFORWARD!
  • M_claireb
    We love it in Australia and I had no idea there would be no season 2. Just watched the season 1 finale and read that that is it. After watching for months, lapping up every minute of every episode, to be just left with a cliffhanger.
    Why do the smart, intelligent shows get cancelled???
    I was a huge Farscape fan and when that was cancelled fan power won out and they were able to tie up all the loose ends so hopefully FF will get at least another season to do the same, hopefully :)
  • Uche Onyi
    WE NEED A SEASON 2
  • needmoreepisodes

    Hey everyone, let’s try to save this excellent tv series!! Go and sign the petition! To reach an optimal result, I encourage you to spread the link to the petition! Thank you: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bbff/
  • WantFF
    U can get all episodes on torrent -_- ....But dude WE WANT SEASON 2!!this is the best series of all time and they had to shut it down i mean comon wtf!!
  • Niiners
    Just finished Season 1, absolutly amazing show, looked online to see when Season2 is out!! I cant believe it, so gutted, so many questions
  • Darock105
    If ABC is not smart enough to do season 2 FF maybe another network will pick it up, that is what I am hoping for.
  • Zainsheli
    gone for ever .... :( ...
  • BlackWidow73
    Halfway through FF I was adamant I didn't want another series... not because I didn't enjoy it, but because I couldn't see there being much potential for a second series!! What would happen? "On April 15th 2011 the whole world blacked out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds... AGAIN"?
    However, after seeing the last episode I need another series... not just to finish off the first series, but because this is one of the most gripping and original series I've seen recently!! And it can still be!! The end set up for a whole new load of mysteries, and morality issues that could easily be adapted to another season of such a brilliant show!!
    ABC bring it back; if the passion from the above comments is anything to go by, you're onto a winner!!
    At the end of the day, people watch shows like FlashForward because they're interesting, and regardless of what else is on, they will watch it!! Shows like WipeOut (which apparently ABC have renewed) are watched because there's sod all else on the telly, and people want a distraction until something better comes along!! Let FlashForward BE that something better!! That is all...
  • Bruceleeisdead
    flash forward is the best thing coming out of the USA please make season 2. lost is garbage compared to flash forward we need another season, if your interested in kung fu movies visit bruceleeisdead.co.uk
  • Dodi_129
    iam abig for the series it should for another season and the ending wasnot good
  • Ghassan Riash
    ABC I have some ideas and reasons and suggestions that will bring flashforward to the top of the tv shows, here are they:
    1- Advertising for any new tv hit shouldn't expect much, since the audience don't know the show yet, so you should expect that the rating of viewers wouldn't be as expected.
    2- The airing time of the show, waas a bad choice, and the result to failure, you cannot expect a new tv show to struggle with some other hit tv shows that some of them been broadcasting for years, with high ratings, like Supernatural, CSI, Fringe, The mentalist, The Vampire Diaries, 30 rock..How can a new tv show even take a place in this "busy" night of other tv shows when the audience has to choose between it and the other tv shows listed above? even the audience needs a break after they watch any episode..
    3- Lost was without a doubt the best tv show ever, look at the airing time, was Teusday night, not a busy night of shows, so eventually they get the highest ratings...Look at Breaking bad, not that good show, yet the airing time helped them get more viewers, the same goes for mad me and burn notice and true blood and leverage, noice that true blood and leverage were started earlier than the other shows, because the audience need a show or 2 at least during the period of ending the seasons of the other tv hit shows and starting it, smart move isn't it?
    4- Change the time into the middle of the week, like monday night, people are home from work and from a long weekend, so they'll stay home and for sure watch the tv which means more viewers, more people to hang on the show..
    5- every big idea needs more than one season to succeed, look at entourage the first season was such a disappointment, but they renewed for a second season and now the show is better than ever, making great ratings..so before you cancel flashforward for good, make 2 episodes at least for season 2, then air it, then decide for yourself if it worths continuing or not, but consider the following please:
    - The airing time, sometime in the middle of the week, or the beginning, Monday or Wednesday night will be a great choice, not much of tv shows.
    - including flashbacks from the past of the characters in season 2, to tie the viewer with the new episodes, so they can tie the events so they could make sense.
    - bring more characters, answer the rest of season 1 questions and putting new ones in the same time, to keep the audience wondering what happens next.

    Every great show needs to go on in order to get the good results. please ABC consider this and give it a try at least for 2 episodes, then decide, and look at all those fans, we will not disappoint you..so please don't disappoint us..
  • Flashforwardlover
    I LOVED THIS SHOW AND STILL DO. WHY THE HECK WOULD THEY CANCEL IT. I WANT SEASON 2. I HAVE NEVER WATCHED LOST BECAUSE THAT SHOW SUCKED BUT THEY KEPT IT ON FOR LIKE 9 SEASONS. IN GENERAL I WANT FLASHFORWARD SEASON 2. COME ON ABC USE YOU'RE BRAIN AND CONTINUE THIS EPIC SHOW!!!! (the all caps was necessary)
  • Thumbs up!
    Come on guys, the show ended and thats it. Perfect ending for a good serie, no questions left behind. Happy ending in many ways. And seriously, what the hell would happen in season 2?! Another flashforward? Booring..! Most probably just drama between couples and way less action. Please, don't make a season 2! It is good to end a serie still when it's good.
  • Sadasd
    bring back flashfoward, david and oscar!
  • Asd
    After the end of Lost and now Flash Forward no point watching ABC.

    The responsible for ABC should definately be fired.
  • Ronski
    I really hope this has not been cancelled, fisrt Sarah Conor Chronicles, now FlashFoward, any point wathcing ABS shows anymore????
  • Shk725
    I am s big fan in Korea.

    Lost is over. Fringe will go into its last season. FF is the only show left for me.
    Please do not kills this one.
  • tvaddict
    WE SHOULD PROTEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • davet
    the uk loved it so if your not intersted in picking up another season offer it to five least then the americans can get it on 5 usa some people need to ask their viewers what the want
  • hacked off
    I feel entirely duped. I am never one to get hooked into any TV and yet, with Flash Forward I did. The ending left me wishing I'd never started to watch it and promising myself never to get involved in a series again.

    What a total waste of time.
  • eggtimer
    ABC have not replied as yet. I will post their reply once recieved. If anyone else has written to them please indicate/post replies replies etc. All petitions signed.
  • wyseguy77
    The only ABC show I watch. No I will not watch ABC anymore. What a lame brain move. I've never really liked the shows this station puts out until Flashforward. Hell if it wasn't for Flashforward an Fringe I would have never got a DVR. I hope someone like NBC or Fox picks it up and bring this show to the top and rubs it in ABC's face.
  • Moocow
    If this is true then I have two things to say:

    1) Bad move ABC, I hope it bites you on the ass
    2) Given that in the UK it was ABC's fault that we had to wait for months for programmes like Fringe, Stargate Universe, Flashfoward and so on to run the whole series, I really hope someone who gives a sh*t about their viewers will pick it up.

    Sorry ABC but you do not own the world, hope someone else picks this up, and forgets who you evere were to television!
  • This is even worse than when the Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled.

    How can a show that is doing so well outside of the US be cancelled?!!? ABC - LISTEN TO US - WE WANT THIS SHOW TO CONTINUE
  • San
    No cancelen FF!!! Esperamos la segunda temporada desde la Argentina!
  • Brad
    Wow, most disapointing to invest time in series to be left hanging like this. Networks, just like Tiger & Jesse, are all about instant gratification. There was a time when they would allow a show to develop an audience but in this age of reality and other trash TV executives run scared. I don't want to do this again. If a decent show survives season 1 maybe I will get the DVD's or watch it online once I know that it is confirmed for a second season. This is a case of ABC showing their audience total disrespect. Either renew it or wrap it but to leave it unfinished like this is cowardly. ABC should be ashamed of themselves.
  • Sballarini
    I absolutely loved every episode. So clever, so different! I cannot believe it they cancelled it. Idiots!!! People just do not know what a good show is anymore!!!Please, please please, do not cancel it!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!
  • Allan
    Unbelievable. This series turned most of the established ways of writing a plot on their head - and in a completely logical way. The result was dramatic, intriguing, infuriating, scary, witty and above all entertaining in a way no other show in recent history has managed or could manage. Whoever decided to cancel it is in serious need of a brain transplant. Or possibly an imagination transplant...
  • Joe
    Like i said, sign my petition at http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bbff

    We want series 2 !
  • Geri
    I seriously cannot believe they have cancelled Flash Forward season 2! Are ABC out of their minds??! Another studio must pick it up!
  • Jimmy
    i have literally never been so angry.i want the day of my life back i used up watching FF!!im suing ABC for wasting my life away!!absolute scumbags.i dont know what to do with myself, and what makes it worse is that they dont care one bit about the millions of fans who feel the same!its going to take a lot of alcohol to get over this one!
  • Polly
    Just watched the last episode (UK) and went online to find out when we could expect season 2. Cancelled? Seriously? If ABC have cancelled this they need their heads screwing back on. Or they need to resign and let some TV buffs take over who appreciate a good show and can see it doing well and can see a good thing. How the hell did Lost survive as long as it did (I lost interest before seaon one ended on that one) and this can be cancelled with so many questions still unanswered? Bring it back or international networks will stop buying shows eventually because we have to pay TV licences over here (dunno how it works in US) and we are actually listened to by the people who play the shows when we kick up enough of a fuss. Cue 'Points of View' type-programme :)

    I wonder if a channel over here would pick it up? Seems as it's done so well here? If ABC don't want it, it's their loss and someone should take full advantage of stupidity.
  • nikuss8558
    man lost is better than FF, that why it survived so long, because u want to see tne next serie when u end the first one, but when i watched FF, yeah it was good, but not so as the lost, that why lost is still the best even it has ended.
  • N3al
    lost is boring.....
  • Johngillam74
    I'm sorry mate but lost is shite its the worst series ive ever seen and how it lasted that long i'l never know 24 is the most by far superior series EVER and if you havent watched it you obviously are missin out lol Flash forward was fantastic in my eyes and anyone with any sort of intellect will agree with me it had suspence action and puzzles that een get you yourself thinking of the answer...bad move ABC
  • SiX
    i agree with nikkuss on this, lost kept me interested, 24 just doesn't keep it interesting, just might as well keep watching desperate housewives, same think all over again,..and again,....
  • eggtimer
    I have written to ABC to air my views and try to get a reprieve, The Fans saved "Chuck" so maybe the fans can get this brought back so my advice is to air your views to ABC and see if you can get a campaign going to get as many people to do the same.

    Good Luck

  • leetube.co.uk
    Do not panic folks. Flash Forward has not been cencelled. How could it be!
    It's the best programme on ch5 in the UK to date.

    Looking forward to Series 2!!!!

    Nice one.

    Lee@leetube.co.uk. :D
  • Tonylovesit
    well they did it again - i'm getting to the point where i won't watch anything until its ran at least 3/4 seasons becasue its a waste of my life - this was so good but being left hanging like this is not in their intrests - i will not watch abc again - infact anything i want to watch i'll stream rather then giving them rateings for anything - the networks need to learn that we invest time in what they produce.
  • SiX
    SAME here,. from now on i only watch series that are complete, it happened to jericho, and some series a while ago about aliens, threshold i think it was,... what a shame that all ended.... and Friemds, on TV for 10 years! i was sick of it after 5... oh well...
  • Brenz
    They wouldn't have decided to cancel it or not yet. The last ep in series 1 has only just aired in the UK and probably in some other countries but i really hope they do series 2, 3, 4. 5 . . .
  • craigast
    It's been cancelled for sure. It's on the producers (ABC) website.
  • Pcbuddy007
