Looks expensive. That means cancellation within about 12 episodes unless it absolutely CRUSHES in ratings.
While fans eagerly awaiting Steven Spielberg's "Terra Nova" may not be receiving the full May preview they were promised last year (it was delayed back in March), the executive producer and Fox are hoping a 3-minute clip of action will keep the fans satisfied until the fall premiere. Watch it in the player down below. The show will star Jason O'Mara, Shelley Conn, Stephen Lang, Landon Liboiron, Naomi Scott, Alana Mansour and Allison Miller.
Plot Concept: An epic family adventure 85 million years in the making, "Terra Nova" follows an ordinary family embarking on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149 the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped, overcrowded and overpolluted. With no known way to reverse the damage to the planet, scientists discover a portal to prehistoric Earth. This doorway leads to an amazing world, one that allows for a last-ditch effort to save the human race... a second chance to rebuild civilization and get it right this time.
The series centers on the Shannon family as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet forbidding land led by its founder Commander Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang). Jim Shannon (Jason O'Mara), a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family – wife Elisabeth (Shelley Conn); and children Josh (Landon Liboiron), Maddy (Naomi Scott) and Zoe (Alana Mansour) – through this new land of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. In addition to blue skies, towering waterfalls and lush vegetation, Terra Nova offers new opportunities and fresh beginnings to its recent arrivals, but the Shannons have brought with them a familial secret that may threaten their citizenship in this utopia. These adventurers soon discover that this healthy, vibrant world is not as idyllic as it initially appears. The areas surrounding Terra Nova are teeming with danger – and not just of the man-eating dinosaur variety. The Shannons will come to suspect that not everyone on this mission has the same idea of how to best save mankind; in fact, there may be forces intent on destroying this new world before it even begins.

Well I wasn't paying attention to the fact it was a FoX show. After seeing this clip I was excited, then when FoX came up I was .. meh.
It won't last.
This is the series I'm looking forward to the most.
It'll last, in FOX I trust
In Fox I distrust...won't last, the ''familly'' approach will kill this show, looks too much kiddy friendly. With a show with dinausors and teens/kids in it, you won't see much blood or no one getting in real danger except the usual guards and unimportant characters.
Meh....
Im with you Wiseguy - This looks great. Cant wait to see it.
But still worried that its on Fox though. They cancel EVERYTHING worth watching. But heres hoping.
Well I think this looks pretty incredible. I'm glad it was delayed to get what ever they needed right. I am hoping just for Spielberg being involved it gets a full season. I just don't think Fox and Genere go well anymore for people. Gone are the days of X-Files dominance but with Fringe and now this show here's hoping they get the ball rollign again.
AVATAR meets Jurrasic Park......even has Stephen Lang..." welcome to Pandora.......errr...i mean Terra Nova.."
