Fox mulling second year of 'Terra Nova'

Jason OMara stars in Fox drama Terra Nova, which wrapped its first season Monday and awaits word around the possible soph season. The conclusion in the first season of "Terra Nova" leaves a cliffhanger that has nothing associated with the plot: Will Fox renew the drama series?"Nova" ended its run Monday in typically solid but unimpressive fashion, calculating a few.2 rating/6 participate grownups and 7.2 million audiences overall. That put it above ABC and NBC but slightly below its season average (2.6 demo rating and 7.8 million).People are respectable amounts while not always sufficient due to the pricey production costs behind the dino spectacle as well as the pedigree of executive producers Steven Spielberg and Peter Chernin. last century Fox Television might be the studio behind the 13-episode run, which was never designed to earn a back-nine order.One indication of "Terra Nova" landing another 13 episodes is if Fox can get the options round the skein's lead stars. But even if that happens before year's finish, it doesn't a great deal guarantee a renewal since it does buy Fox more hours to decide that could be made as late since the finish from the month of the month of january, which appears the deadline to obtain the elaborate production functioning.Ratings are definately not really the only aspect in Fox's decision on "Nova." Furthermore to distribution sales in overseas areas and DVD or digital revenues, the network may even take into account that "Nova" boasts one of the bigger percentage increases among dramas in "live-plus-seven" Dvr data -- in the 2.6 with a 3.7 in 18-49.This isn't really the only drama whose fate will probably be mulled by Fox professionals inside the holidays, just like a decision is predicted soon around the possible ninth season for Universal Television's "House."Related: Ratings: Modest finish for 'Terra Nova' Contact Andrew Wallenstein at andrew.wallenstein@variety.com
