Someday we really will do another round of these podcasts. The technology has become so much simpler and easier than it was back when we started.
For now, a quick update on our status. We are, oddly, in the midst of a round of development on another Stephen King project for ABC Studios. Never saw that coming back in the dqay. Haven, our Syfy show, just got a double-sized order for Season 5, which will air over two years and seems likely to end the series (though you never know...). And we've just come off a year working on the show Crisis for NBC, our first network gig.
So it seems that we really have made a career out here after all. Who would have guessed, back when when we were recording these?
Wonder what happens next...

Let's call this time lapse "the lost years" and leave it at that.
What happened? We're the proverbial dogs who caught the car -- we sold our TV series. So...sorry, we've been kinda busy. Instead of doing podcasts for the world at large, we try to squeeze in time to do creator commentaries on the episodes of our show.
"Haven" airs on Syfy in the US, on Showcase in Canada, and all around the world on various Universal Television Global owned networks.
We're in the midst of writing and producing our second season, which airs begining July 15th 2011 here in the US. We invite you to take a look.
...and, someday, maybe, we'll feel safe to give you the inside scoop of what it's like actually producing a series. We could tell stories...but it's wiser not to. ;-)
Someday, we'll record a new one of these. Until then, good luck.
