Jeremiah affected by Sept. 11th events
by Doc on Dec.05, 2001, under Television
JMS’ new series for Showtime, Jeremiah, has been in limbo since the September 11th attacks because of its post-apocalyptic storyline. Read More for the message from JMS on rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated…
JMS wrote, when asked when Jeremiah would air:
The situation we’ve encountered is the same encountered by a number of TV
series and movies post -September 11th. The show deals with a post-apocalyptic
environment after a virus has wiped out about six billion people…which may
(or may not) be a sensitive issue in the eyes of potential viewers. So the
powers that be are gauging when it might be safe to go forward with it; we
expect to know something in the next couple of weeks since they have to start
making up their schedules soon.
