( EW.com ) -- Guess we 'll likely never find out what the Badlands were all about . Fox has cancelled prehistoric dino drama `` Terra Nova '' after one season , ending months of will-they-or-won't-they speculation . Studio 20th Century Fox TV , however , says they fight `` Terra Nova 's '' extinction event by shopping the series to other networks . The decision was handed down despite a few factors that were in the show 's favor : A creatively strong two-hour finale , which won over many of the show 's grumbling detractors ; Fox cancelling Monday night veteran `` House '' ; and another Monday sci-fi drama , `` Alcatraz , '' under-performing in recent weeks . From what we hear , Fox higher-ups were n't too fond of the show . `` Terra Nova '' will likely end up the highest-rated cancelled show of the season . It averaged 10.1 million viewers and a 3.6 adult demo rating once you add in a week of DVR playback . See the full article at EW.com .
