Sci-fi drama “Debris” has been canceled after just one season by NBC, TheWrap has learned.
The Jonathan Tucker- and Riann Steele-led drama aired its season and now series finale Monday.
Here’s the official description for the 13-episode first season of “Debris”:
“When wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft scatters across the Western Hemisphere, it soon becomes apparent the pieces are messing with the laws of physics, changing lives in ways we can’t comprehend. Two agents from different continents, and different mindsets, are tasked to work together to recover the debris, whose mysteries humankind is not quite ready for.”
When NBC’s new sci-fi drama,
Debris, drops on Mar. 1, it will be almost exactly seven years to the day since writer/executive producer J.H. Wyman (
Fringe) has given audiences new television. The finale of his futuristic A.I. cop series,
Almost Human, ended after one season in 2014, and Wyman then went into development. With his company, Frequency Films, Wyman spent a lot of time trying to figure out his “what’s next?”
From a tech and audience habits perspective, over seven years, the television landscape has practically advanced by dog years as viewers have flocked to streaming services and premium cable to get their episodic fix. And that is especially true when it comes to sci-fi and fantasy TV, where the scope there is often more cinematic and expensive in light of recent successes like
