'Journeyman' Heading For Axe, Admits Creator

 

Journeyman is at risk of being axed due to poor ratings and the current writers' strike, according to the show's creator Kevin Falls.
The man behind NBC's time-travelling series, (which is currently airing on Sky One in the UK) admitted that the 12 episodes currently filmed may be the last. Falls told Premium Hollywood that further production on the show is "a long shot... given the strike and our questionable numbers".
However, Falls added that the twelth episode would function as a finale to Journeyman, which stars British actor Kevin McKidd, best known for his role as Tommy in Trainspotting. "We wrote it in a way so it could be the series-ending show. I mean, it wouldn’t answer every question, but it would give you a lot to chew on.... in the case we would actually go on to a second season, we didn’t want to turn over every card," he said.
Kevin Falls said:
NBC has decided to air the 12th episode (”Perfidia”) on Wednesday, December 19th at ten o’clock. That means our 10th episode will air on Monday the 10th (”Home by Another Way”), the 11th will air on 17th (”The Hanged Man”).
The decision to air the 12th episode had a lot to do with the passion of our fans through SaveJourneyman.net, the online petition and letters and emails to NBC executives.
There’s still no news on our long term future, but we can promise you this: three terrific episodes inside of ten days. Oh, yeah, and you’ll get some answers, too.
Your comments and pro-active attempts to save the show are very much appreciated by me and my fellow Executive Producer Alex Graves, Kevin McKidd and the cast, writers and crew. But more importantly, it’s working.
But don’t rest. We need you. We want a back nine–and beyond.
