According to Thommas Dekker (John Connor) the show could return.But in what form?
Here's what the actor said, in a recent interview with TheTVAddict.com
"They've spoken about doing a TV movie.Well, not a TV movie, but kind of like a direct-to-DVD movie. Obviously it's difficult because the show is based on a movie and they just had one come out, so it's kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us."
"They're hoping, at least when I spoke to (SCC producer)James Middleton that's where they are with it."
It would be better, if the show wasn't canceled, but...At least, there's hope for some sort of conclusion.

Possible return for The Sarah Connor Chronicles?
Sunday, June 14, 2009
What would happen in the third season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Producer James Middleton talked to scifiwire about the series finale, and about possible developments in the third season of the show (if it was renewed).
Read more!One theory about the ending is that by leaping to the future, John Connor never grew up to become the leader of the human resistance. That would free him of the burden of saving humanity.
“I think that that’s the right interpretation, because in the actual footage of the show, we see that Derek doesn’t recognize him,” Middleton said. “So, by jumping into this future, he has erased his existence in a certain way, and we see that. We see that nobody recognizes him.”
Middleton added that leaping to the future changes John Connor’s fate. “We would have to have explored that if we did get a third season,” he said. “If we had gotten a third season, I should say, we definitely would have explored what it all meant, but I think there’s a great moment where we see Allison [Summer Glau], and John’s look to her is very meaningful. I think that also would have been a great thing in terms of dramatic potential.

TSCC-One last thing from Josh Friedman.
http://www.fox.com/blogs/terminator/
By now most of you have heard the news that T:SCC is cancelled. I received a call earlier today from Peter Roth at Warner Bros. and I appreciate both his personal and professional support throughout this show’s life. I know a lot of you are angry about the cancellation and want to find a place to direct your anger and to that I say do yourself a favor and find a way to move past it. Every network wants a big fat hit, especially one with a brand name behind it, and Fox was/is no different. They supported the show, they supported my vision of the show, and they gave it plenty of time to find an audience.
And what an audience we found: passionate, intelligent, kind of nuts in a good way. My only complaint about the T:SCC fans is that there aren’t ten million of them. But I prefer to be happy for the ones we had instead of lamenting the ones we didn’t.
Good shows are cancelled every year; smart shows, worthy shows, shows which move their viewers to write blogs and have viewing parties and create action figures and bury executives’ email accounts under thousands of messages. I miss Deadwood and The Wire and Arrested Development but thank God that I still have Rescue Me and The Office and a recently renewed Party Down written by ex-T:SCC writer John Enbom.
Bad shows are cancelled, too. And certainly there are those who did not like what we did and had their own vision for what a Terminator TV show should be. It’s easy to look at low ratings or cancellation as “failure” and for those who believe we’ve gone about this all wrong I’m sure today’s news will only serve to confirm a world view that I would never try to change. We’ve written the show as best we can, executed it to the best of our abilities, and sent it out in the world knowing that we worked out asses off to do something that wouldn’t be a waste of anybody’s forty-three minutes.
Thanks to a brave and talented cast, a feature crew working on a TV schedule, and everyone else who I could list but won’t because they know who they are. Mostly I’d like to thank those of you who’ve supported us and fought for us and given up hours of your life to watch our show. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s about. The watching.
Hope we do it again soon.
Josh Friedman

Fox orders full season of 'Sarah Connor Chronicles'
By Michael Schneider,Variety
October 17,2008
"Terminator" is far from being terminated.
Fox has just given a full-season order to "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles." Cast and crew were informed of the decision late Friday.
Back nine order was far from certain; show has been struggling in its Monday night time slot. But "Sarah Connor" has developed a fan base and some positive critical attention along the way.
"Sarah Connor" was pre-empted this week due to baseball playoff coverage, but in its last airing, on Oct. 6, averaged a 2.3 rating and 6 share among adults 18-49, which was up slightly from the prior week.
Warner Bros. TV is behind "Sarah Connor," which stars Lena Headey in the title role, as well as Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, Brian Austin Green, Richard T. Jones, Garret Dillahunt, Leven Rambin and Shirley Manson.

Sarah Connor Chronicles: Close to Being Terminated?
By Robert Seidman,TvByTheNumbers

September 30,2008
SyFy Portal is reporting that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles may be close to termination:
With ratings far below even the network’s worst predictions, Fox could pull the plug on production for “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” as early as this week.
The network has been disappointed by “Sarah Connor’s” numbers so far this season, and some executives feel that the show is dragging down numbers for “Prison Break,” which airs as a lead-out.
“Audiences just aren’t responding to the show,” a Fox source tells SyFy Portal. “Our biggest surprise are the 18-to-49s [a key advertising demographic], those numbers are in the toilet.”
This would be bad news for “Sarah Connor,” which had a strong first season despite airing just nine episodes in light of the Writers Guild of America strike.
Last night was the first night of full competition on all networks. Last week it beat Dancing with the Stars and The Big Bang Theory among men 18-34, but lost to the Heroes “clip show” and How I Met Your Mother. Among the overall 18-49 demo it trailed everything but Gossip Girl last week and last night it only just barely beat Gossip Girl (2.0 vs 1.9). Thanks to commenter “Anthony” for tipping us off to the SyFy Portal story.
Plus, it was among the shows judged most likely to be cancelled based on our initial Renew/Cancel index.

Terminator:Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 Details
By Joel Keller,Tv Squad
July 15,2008
TCA Report
First of all: The show will have more self-contained episodes this year. Why? Executive producer John Wirth had a very succinct answer to that: "Because we wanted to."
Second of all: Brian Austin Green and Garret Dillahunt, who had recurring roles in season one, will be permanent cast members for season two. Both, of course, are very happy to be coming back. One of the reporters, though, asked the producers about the increase in the number of characters. EP Josh Friedman said that, in discussing the show, the producers and wrters "looked for other types of people to bring to the show, maybe more real-life. Sci fi shows can get insular sometimes. It's good to see characters interact with real people every so often instead of just people who know the secret or robots."
James Middleton, who is working on both the series and the new Terminator movie that stars Christian Bale, admits that the series is working on a separate timeline from the movie. "Both the show and movie take certain inspiration from Terminator mythology, like the value of self-sacrifice, perseverence and faith. But when we deposited Sarah Connor in the present day, we instantly created a new timeline and mythology for her." He felt that the time-travel aspect of the story could potentially have created alternate timelines, anyway, so in that respect, it's consistent with the brand's overall mythology.
Summer Glau, who plays the Terminator infiltrator Cameron, was asked if people who meet her are disappointed that she can't kick someone's ass. "People always say something to me at the pharmacy, the produce section, or the airport. I always feel like I'm disappointing in real life, just reaching for the celery," she joked. She went on to say that she was "surprised and thrilled at how many people are watching our show. people are seeing the show and are really excited about it."
Thomas Dekker told the critics to expect his character, John Connor, to be a little less of a weak kid this year. "He was able, but didn't have blood in him to be a leader," he said. "The plan was to keep him young, have long hair, go to school and be normal, his essence of youth and innocence still there. A lot of that dies at the beginning of this season. (The writers are) trying to do it subtly in the script."
When Friedman was asked if he envisioned an end point for the show, he said that "when we started it I had a plan for at least four seasons; 80 episodes worth. Those things still hold true." Though he noted that when writers begin a season they don't always know where they're headed until midway through. That being said, though, "I have ideas how it'll end. I hope it doesn't for awhile."
