Andromeda was a show on the Sci-Fi Channel that aired from 2000 – 2005. It even has a Blu-Ray and DVD Release but ultimately ended after 5 seasons. Well, after a long wait, Kevin Sorbo revealed that the show will be on Netflix next year:
“Next year it’ll be on Netflix. Thank God it’s coming back out again after all this time. I’m grateful for it.”
Talking at Wizard World, he also revealed why the show ultimately ended:
“The only reason why you guys didn’t get 6 and 7 and why Season 5 got funky at the end, is halfway through Season 5 of Andromeda, which was owned by a Tribune company out of Chicago, went bankrupt. Because #1 they owned Chicago Tribune and The LA Times, and well, no one’s reading papers anymore, and they owned the Chicago cubs when they sucked. The radio stations were dying out, so they went into bankruptcy. The only thing making money for them were really just their 3 TV shows. They had us, Beastmaster and Mutant X. They had to freeze all their assets. Otherwise, we would have gotten 7 years out of it for sure. It’s a little frustrating, trust me. Over the course of 7 years, they couldn’t sell or do anything with it for 7 years.”
So there you have it, Andromeda fans. Closure. Well, sort of, since it’s not coming back. Technically.
