"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is not so dead after all. Talks are still active to bring back the show as a final curtain call for the fans, although it may no longer be a series. Thomas Dekker aka John Connor revealed in an interview with TV Addict that it may as well be a direct-to-DVD movie.
"They've spoken about doing a TV movie," the 22-year-old said. "Well, not a TV movie, but kind of like a direct-to-DVD movie. Obviously it's difficult because the show is based on a movie and they just had one come out, so it's kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us. But they're hoping, at least when I spoke to [Producer] James Middleton that's where they are with it."
"TTSCC" was officially canceled in mid May following two low-rating seasons while it's Friday partner in midseason, "Dollhouse", which also experienced the same problem was given another chance. "In the end, it really came down to DOLLHOUSE or us and that was sort of what happened. I think we were too expensive and DOLLHOUSE was a lot cheaper," Dekker revealed his theory.
Also in the interview, Dekker spilled on what might happen if a third season was ordered. "...I mean it was going to be really interesting because there were questions in the future like is Sarah Connor at the age she would be in the future or is she already dead?," he teased, adding that his relationship with Allison and Cameron may also be explored further.
Off from his terminator duty, Thomas Dekker is taking feature movie roles in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and in an indie called "All About Evil".

I though TSCC was the best show on TV, bring it back!
Please give us closure! I would gladly pay for a DVD movie. I will never buy Terminator: Salvation on DVD though. Why more channels do not do this or make some tele-films of some of these cancelled series I will never know. You have much larger audiences then the terrible sci-fi channel's 'Saturday Night' straight-to-dvd movies they show. Just as T:tSCC got really really good it was pulled. PLEASE continue the story on DVD.
Please bring TSCC back. Everyone I know is upset with Fox. Some don't even want to watch anything on the network anymore. RECONSIDER your viewers.
hi i just wanted to say that i think the sarah connor chronicles is one of the best tv shows i have ever watched and that Fox made a huge mistake cancelling this show. I would love a season 3 and that a direct to dvd (blu-ray) would be just as awsome!!!!
Make the movie! The fans demand the movie. Straight to dvd would be fine. Just make the movie.
If they are coming on dvd, I wil buy them. No matter the price:)
I love it.I want 3rd season of TSCC.
TSCC was canceled by Fox really suck. I don't know why fox still keep bad show like dollhouse. Stupid Fox. If they come out directly to DVD, I will definitely buy it.
i am extremely disappointed that the show was taken off the air. there wasnt even an announcement but it. Fox suck in so many ways from it news broadcasting to its determination as to what is a good show and what isnt. they need to take trash off the air like american dad and the simpsons and provide more thought provoking TV. also get rid of the hate mongering politican satire they call journalism
I'm very dissappointed that it was cancelled. I would love to another season.
that is the problem with tv anytime they get a great show they cancel it yet dollhouse makes it for another run? TSCC was much better than the dollhouse.Some other network needs to pick it up and have a blow up of the ratings that would show fox.
Bring the show back please.
Really am looking forward to more TSCC...many seasons to come
Bring back Terminator TSCC!!! I want a 3rd Season.. This show with the amazing cast of actors, actress (especially Summer Glau & Thomas Dekker), and writers created AU - that made Terminator consuming and irresistible to fans once more...The movies (except for T2) in my opinion lack the luster what TSCC presented/gave...cough John and Cameron cough chemistry/tension...Sarah Connor - Derek Reese - Catherine Weaver - John Henry..James Ellison-- OMG! How can one not love them???? BRING THEM BACK!!! I hate FOX!
queremos de volta TSCC , série ou DVD
Nós do Brasil queremos TSCC de volta
I think it sucks that they keep taking off good shows. Bring it back! I really liked Firefly too! Bring back Terminator!
Great acting, great storytelling. Some of the most believable, realistic character arcs I've ever seen on TV. If they do make a movie, I'd buy it for sure :)
We have not forgotten. This was the best show on television. If not for the writer's strike and FOX screwing with the schedule this show would have made it big. Everyone that I turn on to watching the season dvds loves it.
Fox could never see a good thing.. they screw up all the good shows.. I loved firefox and that was cancelled in the middle of season... As for TSCC wasn't a big fan in the beginning... man, I'm glad I stuck around... its a great... So here's something for all the writers/directors out there. if you want you projects to die young ... sell it to fox...
that movie suckes! i wanna see sarah conner chronicle movie!!!!!!!
"[...] it's kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us." NO WAY! Were still out here fighting.
plseeeeeeeee...bring back our show we love to see what happen next will salar help john...as she promises..what about dellic...so amazing...i love the series ...i think tv series is best than movie
I plan to buy S2 on Blu-Ray first day; and if I can't I will order it online first day. This show must come back. I just watched the series finale again; Cameron was scary, sexy and just awesome (hence screen name). Just remember the words of Kyle, Sarah and John: "The future is not set; there is no fate but what we make for ourselves." It doesn't have to be over.
Thomas Dekker is the best John Connor and TTSCC was a show of X-Files quality! Terminator Salvation was just an awful mess and Christian Bale was utterly forgetable(imho). The real talent and excitement was in this show, its plot twists and it's amazing cast. As with Firefly, the network is again missing the gem before their eyes. I would love to see what happens to John Connor, Kyle Reese, Cameron, etc... in the future.
also in the netherlands we want 3rd season of TSCC
Is it true that a spagetti monster licks John's face in the 1st episode of the third season script?
Fox really needs to consider the movie. I doubt a third season will be in the works. TSCC was the best show they have had in years. Fox kept Married with Children on for over 10 years, why can't they keep quality?
As much as I LOVED the tv series, this may be the best thing-- after all, the whole concept has to come full circle eventually. This really isnt something you should logically extend past 3, 4,5, or even 6 seasons.CAS IN POINT-- Life on Mars-- at least they had the werewithal to end it--REALLY end it.
TSCC was the best show on TV. We need at least 1 more season. Or some other network to pick up the show.
As long as it's brought back, I don't care whether it's a series or a movie. A series would be preferable, but anything works! I was so excited when I saw there's a chance.
Fox Sucks! Can't believe they canceled it!
I can't believe it, What was Fox thinking canceling it-- those cheap-scapes!! Again, they cancel a series- it was my favorite! I've been waiting all summer for the return!!! Bring it back !!!! I couldn't watch even a half episode of doll house-- too borrring!
I think they should do a four part miniseries and make it interesting
what is the release date of s2? it will probally be at wal-mart; if we clean them out by noon, then like family guy they will have no choose but to bring it back!
Fox stinks.
This is why I don't bother with a lot of new tv shows - you just start to get into them - think "wow, this is REALLY good" and they pull the plug!!!
I like the movie idea. This should have been never longer than 2 seasons. If it was a 3rd season, the plot would just drag on too much. There were a few weak episodes in the 2nd season when they should have figured it to end it without any questions. End it strong with a 2hr movie and be done with it to satisfaction and strong conclusion.
Check out the savethescc website! Keep sending emails to Fox, WB and Syfy, keep fighting for TSCC!
Please bring it back!!!
Movie might be OK if Dekker would lose the emo boy eye make up.
start a petition to bring back tscc .
bring back TSCC !!!!
If they can get the series cast back for the movie, and Friedman to come up with the story, I'd definitely buy it!
@Guest8- Season 2 never peaked over 4.0 Million viewers. This is great news since Thomas Dekker is now saying it. Lanie Grace posted this information back on August 04th.
Season three for me too! There is way too much story left open for a movie, and more than enough for a full season. Someone must want to buy this great TV series....
"[...] it's kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us." No Thomas, we have not forgotten: The fans are still hopping to see John Connor kicking metal asses in 2027! ;)
I would love a 3rd season, but if this is all we're going to get, i'll take it with both hands. Season 2 had the best cliffhanger ending i've ever seen, leaving things unsaid but in a way that could let the next season do anything they wanted. Oh dear God let this come to pass.
If everyone buys the DVDs September 22, then you will get more. If these DVDs, the seasons, sell to where they at least come close to breaking records, then we get more, whether it be DVD movies or full seasons.
I'm strongly hoping for the return of this beloved show, even a direct-to-dvd movie it's ok at least the original cast & crew is preserved! We want TSCC back! So say we all!
Listen, Listen and understand the TSCC fans are out there. They can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with. They don't feel pity or remorse or fear. And they absolutely will not stop ever until it's back.
I don't want DVD movie. I want 3rd season of TSCC.
"TSCC was officially canceled in mid May following two low-rating seasons" I thought the show had over 8 million viewers by the end of season 1?? Anyways, I hope TSCC does come back in some form. I would rather much have a third season of course, but a TV movie is better than nothing.
Pleeeeeeeeeeease! Bring it back. It's the best show there is.
