ABC's successful new show V aired for four weeks in November before going on hiatus. If you thought the break in LOST's third season after six episodes was harsh, this is even worse. The series, which had gotten a start with good ratings, suddenly vanished from our screens, leaving us wondering, "Did that really happen?"
Turns out, yes it did, and V is set to resume production on Monday, January 4, after a brief delay (which of course had absolutely nothing to do with Elizabeth Mitchell taking a trip to Hawaii or anything like that). Production will not halt for the rest of the season, which is slated to comprise of twelve episodes. So when the show resumes on March 30, we'll get to watch the show until the season finale on May 18. But don't think that'll be the last of V -- the creators say that they've planned out roughly four to five seasons worth of content for the series. Looks like they do want the prolonged success of a show like LOST.
A few changes have taken place with the crew of V, TheVFiles.info reports. In addition to the newly hired writers John Wirth and Natalie Chaidez (who both were staff writers for the recently cancelled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), the show will apparently been "more crew staff added to the production team recently which will give us a new feel to the series." I'm not sure what that means, other than perhaps the show will have a slightly more polished feel to it.
In any case, I'm excited to see what the rest of V's first season will hold. It's easily the best new show of this season (sorry, FlashForward), and it has managed to hold a slightly dropping number of viewers (the fourth episode held 9.20 million viewers, down from the previous week's 9.32 million and even further down from the premiere's 14.30 million). I hope the break doesn't effect the viewership of the show for the worst, though I'm afraid it might -- new feel or no new feel.
