With the series having been moved to Friday nights and ratings starting to slip, there has to be some amount of nervousness on the series producers part. The show has been the one that has surprised a lot of people since it started by holding on and building an audience, as well as gaining new ones through the home video release, but the move to Friday's is something that most shows know means almost certain death.
"I don't think we'd ever say we would be really shocked if it wasn't [renewed]," Jeff Pinkner told FEARnet. "We recognise that every episode we get to make, we are lucky." He continued: "We have lots of stories we hope to have the good fortune to tell. I'm superstitious enough not to expect anything."
Co-producer Joel Wyman added that the pair are currently only considering the show's immediate future.
"We've been in this game so long and you never know [what will happen]," he suggested. "You don't know from one day to the next. You just have to [always] hit the ground running."
Wyman previously revealed that he and Pinkner had been "instructed not to take [the possibility of cancellation] into account" when planning the conclusion of Fringe's third season.
Thanks to lusiphur for the submission.

I really really hope that Fox doesn't cancel Fringe. It is one of the best shows on TV. And there is still so much to do. Its what the latter years of the X-Files should have been. Fox, let's make a deal. I'll forgive you for absolutely screwing up the X-men franchise if you just don't cancel Fringe.
