Alias
Comes To An End After Five Years!
Series
Will Build To A Climax When It Returns In 2006!
After
five long years of playing the spy-game, ABC has announced that “Alias”,
the spy-show created by J.J. Abrams, will be coming to an end this season.
The announcement comes as a bittersweet event, as many fans are still
reeling from the death of leading man Michael Vaughn who was played by
Michael Vartan since the shows debut in 2000. But one thing fans can
be assured of is that the series won’t be going out with a whimper.
The spy-drama "is not going to wind down as it comes to an end,”
said Stephen McPherson, ABC’s Entertainment Manager. Instead, “it's going
to rev up and we're going to make it the event it deserves to be.''
“Alias”, which has been critically acclaimed since its launch five years
ago and has shot series star Jennifer Garner to fame, becoming a hit
with the networks target demographic. Last season, while partnered with
“Lost” (which was also created by J.J. Abrams) the series hit an all
time high. However, it’s move to Thursday nights has serious crippled
the shows ratings. The show will be moved back to Wednesday’s, once again
following “Lost” for two episodes starting with December 7th’s “Bob”.
The series will be taking a brief hiatus after it’s December 15th episode
to cover Jennifer Garner’s maternity leave. Entitled “The Horizon”, the
last episode of 2005 sees Michael Vartan return to the series for a one
episode appearance. Former series regular David Anders is also expected
to be appearing in several episodes starting with “Bob”.
