It's highly doubtful..only SyFy would probably be interested in it...and if they are the they will let Asylum handle the effects..pretty bad for fans either way. :/

This show was terrrible in so many ways. I stopped watching after episodes 4-5. The lead character was a moron and totally ignorant, a law-breaking, rules-breaking neanderthal (in almost every episode) and totally unlikeable. How can you root for a guy that's a total jerk? Obviously, his wife felt the same way, absolutely no chemistry or believability between the hothead policeman and the sorta -hottie wife scientist ( who apparenlty was an expert on everything medical while still in her 30's). Instead of focusing on living in a world filled with dinosaurs. and how to exploit/survive this resource, most of the shows were based on silly human nonsense. If there were carnotaurs lurking outside the gates, why would anyone ever go outside? I wouldn't, yet this seemed to be an issue in many shows. For a picnic with a date? Who would do this, with the chance of a giant theropod pouncing upon you? I could go on and on about similar nonsense in each episode that I wasted my time to watch. Were no scientists at all involved in the plotlines for the writing of this show? Really, I had hope, but the plotlines were so awful, the lead charachters so unlikeable, and the dinos so minimalized, it was doomed to a rightful extinction Dino CGI was maybe 3-4 minutes per show, 'nuff said. Bad show, like I said before; I stopped watching after a few episodes, simply too dumb. Hope someone else will do something better, sometime, though. Certainly there is potential.

I admit I stopped watching too. I figured if it got any better, and didn't get canned, I could catch up with it on NetFlix. Sadly the producers failed to realize that when you make a series about people living with dinosaurs, viewers would actually want to see some dinosaurs.

It was alright as Sunday night entertainment that didn't require too much brainpower, but it was still only an average show. They really should have used more dinosaurs, since they had the budget for CGI dinosaurs but forgot to tell the writers to actually use them.

$4 million per episode, and they only manage to include a few minutes of dinosaurs per episode? If this show does come back, I think they need to reconsider what direction they're taking.
