Fox’s Terra Nova will not be airing a preview of the Steven Spielberg-produced series in May after all. The network had promoted a special presentation of a two-night event for Terra Nova, ahead of its fall premiere but due to “the show’s ambitious visual effects” still in the works, viewers will have to wait until this fall.
Fox president Kevin Reilly explains the delay of the prehistoric adventure-drama series:
“Terra Nova is one of the most ambitious television series ever produced. The cutting-edge visual effects used to create the world of Terra Nova, which is of massive scope and scale, require more time to be realized. This aspect of the series is essential, so we are pushing back the special early preview date to give the visual effects team the time needed for their ground-breaking work.”
The series follows the Shannon family who travels back in time from a dying world in 2149 to prehistoric Earth to be a part of human colony called Terra Nova to rebuild civilization. Terra Nova stars Jason O’Mara (Life on Mars) and Stephen Lang (Avatar) and is a production from 20th TV, Chernin Entertainment, Kapital Entertainment and Dream Works TV.
