Sounds like a mix of AI and The Astronaut's Wife

Extant Season 2 Plans Reveal Evolving Global Threat

Isn't it a bit presumptuous to speak about Season 2 before Season 1 has even aired? Mind you it's nice to know they're planning ahead!

yeah til it gets dumped after 1 season for poor ratings

More of this! TV shows need to be broadcast next day over here. Thanks to the internet it's not enoguh to wait 3 months to see a show that has already aired stateside now. Spoilers will kill the show for you long before the 3 months are out.

Doing this would sound the deathknell for streaming/torrenting too as there's less of an impetus to do it and I'd also imagine overseas popularity would legitimately be taken into account when assessing a show's impact. Hopefully then less shows we love will bite the dust as a result!

Really enjoyed the pilot lots of room for this to grow into an excellent show.

Molly's doctor keeping quiet about her pregnancy was too much of a suspension of disbelief for me. She is an employee of the Space Agency, not just Molly's friendly GP. She would understand that the implications of Molly's pregnancy far, far outweigh their friendship and Molly and John's marriage. No way would she keep quiet about it.

Full_Circle_81 · 19-07-2014 4:39pm

Just watched the pilot. I might give the second episode a go, but it bored the socks off me. I'm REALLY hoping that Grace Gummer gets more to do as it goes on. Their sons "situation" was interesting, but I often found their reactions towards his behaviour to be slightly confusing.
I'm afraid that the "mystery" in the tag-line is going to drag on forever.

Rob30888 · 22-07-2014 11:14pm

I enjoyed the second episode far more than the pilot. There's huge potential but I just wish the show would move at a slightly quicker pace. At least it doesn't have to be padded out over 22 episodes!

'Extant' and 'Criminal Minds' swap timeslots on CBS

CBS is moving its series "Extant" to a later time on Wednesday nights, following a couple weeks of falling ratings.

The sci-fi drama starring Halle Berry will air at 10 p.m. ET/PT starting July 30. The show is switching places with reruns of "Criminal Minds," which had been airing at 10.

The timeslot swap comes in the face of a ratings drop for "Extant." After debuting to same-day ratings of 9.6 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in adults 18-49, the most recent episode on July 23 fell to 6.4 million viewers and a 1.1 in the demographic

red dave · 04-08-2014 4:37pm

Is anyone watching this? I watched the first episode and thought is was OK but very slow and dragged out.

Extant Finale Moved To September 17 – Season 2 Hopes Extinguished?

youngblood · 04-08-2014 11:20pm

Far too slow, would be much better if they just did it as a complete mini series and left it at that.

That's a shame, from the adverts building up I was pretty excited about it. I would go as far as saying I was dissapointed with the start. Sure maybe do a binge at end of season if I hear it picks up pace a bit or a satisfactory end of season.

Extant To Air Back-To-Back Episodes On August 20 & 27

JohnK · 15-08-2014 12:36pm

I'd agree that some of the earlier episodes were much too slow but I'm actually really enjoying it now; chances are a second season is unlikely at this stage but at least they're preparing for that with this season's finale ( http://seriable.com/extant-finale-cancellation-season-2/ ) so we shouldn't be left hanging.

youngblood · 05-09-2014 9:10pm

Anyone watching this?
Slow but im still kinda interested

I'm waiting for it to finish and do a binge. Found the first episode very slow so wouldn't have the patience for it weekly.

JohnK · 06-09-2014 8:03pm

Yeah I'm still watching and enjoying it.

How Soon Is Now · 06-09-2014 11:47pm

Gone down hill so quick and as it stands right now its become awful. Molly is such a bloody annoying character.

''My baby My baby'' shut ****ing up its an Alien!! Also the robot killer who just happens to have a robot arm ffs :pac:

MargeS · 18-09-2014 2:21pm

Jeez, how bad was this! The finale....dire!
I doubt it gets renewed.

squonk · 18-09-2014 3:26pm

I just finished the episode where they find out the Japanese guy's MO and Oden deactivates robot Bratley. It seems to have dippe din quality or something. I was much more excited about it early on. A sign for me is when I just leave a show at the bottom of the pile and don't get back to it for a few weeks. That happened here. Not sure how far off the Finale I am but it's starting to look a little pointless. I too don't get the whole "My baby" thing. It's very obviously an alien and Molly's whole "It's just a bit scared" thing doesn't really wash given it's actions to date. I kind of lost interest in the show once it went down that road. Meryl Streep Jr. is laregely why I'm watching at this point.

red dave · 19-09-2014 11:34am

Would this be a waste of time to watch. Was the finale that disappointing really?
