I hope that is the case.
@kevindavis Me,too. It was a really hard series for me to get interested in,and it ended about the time it became interesting. I see no practical reason why they can't start out a "Part 2" with mostly new characters to save money,and just a few from the original series to kinda "introduce it". The originals can be sent on their way the second season to save even more money once they have helped set the stage.
Really,what do they have to lose? We all know they are going to spend most of the money they earned on this one to produce another show of some sort,so why not produce one that already has a following?
