Axed: Blood Drive

New twisted horror-action series Blood Drive has reached the end of the road after just one season.

On his Midnight Grindhouse blog series creator James Roland wrote:

“Syfy has canceled Blood Drive after one season. If this news makes you angry or sad, you’re not alone. I found out not too long ago, but have been trying to think of a way to tell you guys since I felt it was up to me to let the fans know.

“Ultimately I decided to wait until after the final episode aired so the news did not taint your experience. It simply didn’t seem right to burst the bubble so early, especially with how the last episode plays out. We always planned for a season two, but now that the future of the show is uncertain the final scenes seem so much more … final.

“As to the reasons why the show is cancelled, I’m not privy to all the details. Obviously the ratings were low, but it was also a very noisy show on social media (thanks to you guys!) and a very well-reviewed show with critics as well.

“This I do know: despite canceling us, Syfy was the only network with the steel to make the show in the first place.”

As to any potential future for Blood Drive he wrote:

“Unclear. There’s definitely no season two in the immediate future, but I remain cautiously optimistic there’s more story to tell in this world. NBC|Universal owns the show so when the time comes I’ll approach them with some ideas and we’ll see what they think.”

The final episode will air in Australia on Syfy on Saturday at 8:30pm.
