Why oh why!
Why didn't they ever make a sequel?! :( I really thought they were going to do it...

Sadly due to the ratings for the first being poor any plans for a sequel were scrapped. All TV studios care about is ratings Im afraid.
I still hold out hope though

True, but the dvd was sold maybe 5 years after the mini series was aired. And it must have been expensive, think of all the international filming locations.
shareThe DVDs came out the same year. Same with the VHS, which was advertised during the mini-series. They also re-released the DVDs twice and had a novelization and a soundtrack.
shareThe ratings weren't the whole problem. They were fair but they weren't enough to get the money the production needed in order to do a sequel. They filmed in so many foreign locations it cost them a lot of money. Not to mention I'm betting the special effects were a lot because those were some pretty good ones considering this was a TV mini-series.
I always wish all the fans could just send in money to get a sequel made, haha.
OF COURSE they 'only' care about ratings! Duh! The ratings are what bring the advertisers, which is what brings the money to actually pay for the work in the first place.
You can't operate at a loss for very long before you have no production company.
I just wish Simon Moore had continued it as a book series. Sort of like Doctor Who when that show was off the air for fifteen years. At least it would have kept the story of Virginia, Wolf and the Nine Kingdoms alive. It would have made an awesome book series.

I agree! It should have at least continued in book form!

This is why the ratings system needs to be revamped, and Nielson needs to go under. Such stupidity.
My daughter is 22. She was 8 when this originally came out. She STILL watches it, probably at least once a year, and she still loves it (When she was 8, 9, and 10 I'm pretty sure it was on a constant loop at our house). We're on our second DVD copy, and I just bought a third to keep in reserve for her future children. The people who were the target of this are now adults and they are adults who spend money.
Nielson still believes in the marketing demographics that were developed in the 50s. They're meaningless. Unfortunately those outdated ideas still control what we see and what gets made. If they truly understood the amount of money they miss out on because of their stupidity, they'd be crying into their Hermes ties.
