Audio-drama company Big Finish has confirmed (24 April 2015) that – due to the great success of the first releases in its new Survivors audio range – a further two series of adventures have been commissioned for release in 2016.
This amazing news means that a total of (at least) twenty new Survivors audio adventures will be released by Big Finish between 2014 and 2016.
Series three will focus on the adventures of Abby Grant – and see the return of Jimmy Garland (introduced in the series one TV episode “Garland’s War”, and last seen in the first series finale “A Beginning”); and feature a return trip to the dangerous streets of London.
Big Finish are delighted to announce that there will be more of the much acclaimed Survivors range in 2016…
Survivors – Big Finish’s award-nominated audio version of the classic 1970s BBC1 series – has been confirmed for two further releases beyond this November’s release of Survivors – Series 3.
Producer David Richardson spoke about the news: ‘As I write this, we’re prepping to go into studio for Series 3 (Abby Grant and Jimmy Garland, and a deadly voyage into London…) and signing off edits for the very dark, disturbing Series 2. But plates are spinning for Series 4 – our writers are all attached and coming up with the storylines – and we know where we are going with Series 5. How wonderful that Survivors has become such a success for Big Finish – and what a tribute to Terry Nation’s original idea, and the wonderful cast of actors.’
Survivors – Series 4 will be out in June 2016, followed by Survivors – Series 5 in November 2016. All four coming releases are currently available at special pre-order prices on CD and Download, with all CD customers getting immediate access to a download upon release, exclusive to Big Finish website purchases.
The next release in the range is Survivors – Series 2 in June, with more details and a trailer on the link above, while Survivors – Series 1, and star Carolyn Seymour’s evocative reading of the Survivors by Terry Nation novel are both also available.
