“Fringe, one of the few hits of the fall, has not yet been picked up for a second season, but fans should not worry. “I would anticipate it would be,” Reilly said. The show has generated good if not stellar ratings but has a loyal cult following. Fringe returns with new episodes on Jan. 20 and will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m.”
second season
Reilly also hinted that J.J. Abrams’ sci-fi thriller “Fringe” will be back for another season.
“I already know ‘Fringe’ is a keeper,” he said of the show, which soon will benefit from a lead-in from “American Idol.” “The show’s been a bear creatively because it’s been very ambitious. They’ve really found the storytelling model now. … If you follow the serialized story you will not be disappointed (in the second half of the year), yet the stories really do reset themselves each week. I would not expect it to take off after ‘Idol,’ but I do think it will tick up another level.”
