Tru Calling Is Dead, But Not Gone

Wednesday 19 January 2005, by Webmaster

Gail Berman, president of entertainment at Fox, confirmed to reporters that the supernatural series Tru Calling won’t be coming back-but she added that six as-yet-unaired second-season episodes will eventually see the light of day. "We finished six episodes of Tru Calling, and we anticipate putting them on air at some point," Berman told reporters at Fox’s winter press tour Jan. 17 in Universal City, Calif.

Berman added that the upcoming supernatural series Point Pleasant was the deciding factor in pulling Tru Calling from the schedule. "What changed for us was when we saw Point Pleasant, we really felt we had a show that was incredibly compatible with The O.C.," Berman said. "So our thoughts changed, not so much about Tru Calling, but the possibility of not only having an exciting show and a winner at 8 o’clock, but also something that could really make headway for us at 9 o’clock in an incredibly competitive time period."

Tru Calling, starring Eliza Dushku and Jason Priestley, had been picked up for a second season, but the show was put on hiatus before the season began. Point Pleasant premieres Jan. 18 and will air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
