The unofficial fansite for the television show Blade: The Series.

Neil Jackson has made a post on his MySpace page about the situation surrounding a possible season two of Blade: The Series. He talks about the ratings, the demographics, and what the network is currently thinking about the show.

A few weeks back SPIKE hosted a sunday marathon of all of the ep’s to date. This gave us a 40% increase in viewers. Something we have managed to hold. The current ratings are holding around the 1-1.2 million mark (I got these figures from one of the producers). If the weekly average were to be taken into account that number would be around 3 million. That’s pretty good. But the main ratings number is still lower than they would have hoped. Add to that the gender demograph and we start to realise their hesitancy.

The show started off very strong but then had a bit of a nose dive. It looks like the marathon they had has helped bring the show back up quite a bit, though we aren’t in the clear just yet. He goes on to say that the last few episodes will be looked at closely and the decision will be heavily influenced by those numbers. He concludes by saying “My gut tells me that it’s a 50/50 chance, though I remain optimistic.”

Head over to Jackson’s MySpace page to read the full update.

*update 2 - Neil Jackson has posted in the forums that last night’s episode “Hunters” had a 30% jump in ratings! He’s confident that if those numbers hold for the last couple episodes that the show will make it back next season.

*update 1 - updated with the correct source information, it was posted on Jackson’s MySpace page, but I found out about it over at the official forums here.
