10 Planned Seasons Of Cancelled Sci-Fi TV Shows

10. Farscape

Much like the next entry on this list, we did in fact get a season of the gloriously wacky Farscape after it had been cancelled. Back at the end of the third season, the show was renewed for two more seasons, but while the fourth was made, the Sci-Fi Network decided to go back on the deal and cancel the fifth. Instead, the agreement was reached to make a three-hour mini-series to wrap up the plots left over.

It's called The Peacekeeper Wars, and if you've seen it then you've seen pretty much everything that the fifth season of Farscape would have tried to do. At least in terms of big, over-arching story elements, that is. The Scarrens and Peacekeepers would finally have gone to the war that'd been brewing for the last few years and a water planet full of Eidolons would hold the key to bringing around peace, after our hero John Crichton finally built the Wormhole Weapon and used its unbelievable power.

Without doubt there would have been a number of solo episodes to pad out the season, with Moya still on the run from both the Peacekeepers and Scarrens. They're just so good at making friends wherever they go.
