It looks like fans are going to have to dust off those old Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs because the latest vampire-themed drama out the gate, Blade: The Series, has been unceremoniously dumped. The TV spin-off of the hit movie franchise that starred Wesley Snipes, has been cancelled by Spike TV, reports the World Entertainment News Network. Although the network already decided to scrap plans to air the show’s second season due to low ratings, its announcement may have been pushed forward due to leaked information on one castmember’s MySpace page. Jill Wagner, who played Krista on the show, posted a bulletin to inform her MySpace friends that the show was axed. “I was informed today that there will be no second season of Blade: The Series,” Wagner wrote. “Thanks for the support. Hey, there is always the DVD right?” Despite its cancellation, New Line still plans to release the series’ only season on DVD. |
