[TV Show News] Syfy Cancels ‘Wil Wheaton Project’

Syfy has cancelled The Wil Wheaton Project after only 12 episodes.

I know this is extremely self centered to think but I may be part to blame for this.  I like Wil Wheaton, he’s embraced his geeky nerd side like few Hollywood actors have. I’ve enjoyed most of his TV work, majority of his voice over credits, and his table top gaming YouTube series is something  I check out before purchasing a game. However, I never got around to watch to show on Syfy and I’m sorry, but that’s why it was cancelled.

“I’m really OK with it,” Wheaton recounted on his blog. “I’m super sad that I won’t get to work with my writers and producers, and I’m sad that we don’t get to keep writing jokes, but I did everything I could to help the show succeed. I promoted it the best way I could, I worked hard to write stuff that was funny, and I tried so, so, so hard to get the network executives in New York to understand how they could help the show succeed.”

Ultimately he said Syfy executives told him that the series did not have “enough viewers to justify more episodes” of the series.

Syfy announced the series in April for a May debut. The show featured Wheaton dissecting sci-fil film, TV, video games, viral videos and news of interest to the geek community. The half-hour series hailed from Pilgrim Studios, with Craig Piligian and Mike Nichols (Ghost Hunters) on board as exec producers.
