Over twee dagen gaat het vierde seizoen van Fringe weer verder op de Amerikaanse TV. Dus deden de acteurs vorige week een promotie op Wondercon, waar ook Joshua Jackson aanwezig was, die in de show de rol van Peter Bishop speelt. De website FearNet heeft daar dit korte interview gemaakt, en daar in vertelde hij onder anderen over toekomst van seizoen 5.

On the likelihood of a fifth season...

The show has a small but super dedicated audience... I think [Fox Entertainment President] Kevin Reilly personally likes the show and likes having it on the air. I also think at the end of the day these guys are businessmen and they're in business to make money. At this point really it's all about them making the numbers work for season 5. That's really what it comes down to. Our audience has been so passionate and so dedicated, and that man is drowning in Red Vines on a daily basis. There's no more love for the show or support for the show that can be shown. The ratings are what they are. They've stabilized their numbers, so that's not even the issue anymore. Creatively I think the boys are still swinging for the fences. It doesn't feel like the show is exhausted creatively either. Which is a bad place, you never want to overstay your welcome. So at this point, they're going to figure out whether those numbers work, and that's just the reality of TV.
