Fringe lives!
Fox has renewed the fan favorite for a fifth and final season.
As we’ve been predicting for a few weeks, Fox has ordered 13 concluding episodes of Fringe
despite the show’s ratings being super modest on Friday nights. Though
producers were optimistic about a pickup, they reportedly shot two
endings of the upcoming fourth season finale just in case a deal didn’t
come through. Fox has even released a season five teaser trailer
(below).
Fringe averaged a mere 4 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in
the adult demo, including DVR. Compare that to a first-year show that
Fox cancelled — Terra Nova — which averaged 10.1 million viewers and a 3.6 adult demo rating.
