Was this meant to originally be a pilot?


Just saw this on Netflix and saw the run time & thought "ok, its too short for a movie, mst be a tv series", but nope. Just a movie.

The run time makes me think it was supposed to be a w hr pilot for an hour length program but somehow never got to the series stage.

I am really disappointed there wasn't more of this after that, the ending left nothing wrapped up (as a pilot should do).

There probably will be a continuation in the future. For now, here is a quote from another thread on IMDb if you bothered to read them before posting.

This is Christopher Leone's Twitter account and he has been responding to people the last few days telling them they are working on something, and they are developing it into a series with "more weird stuff happening." Apparently, the team isn't sure if it will be a Netflix series or if it will be a weekly series on FOX. You can go to the Twitter page and click on "Tweets & replies" to see for yourself. But it for sure is happening and we will be getting more Parallels. All of this information is from this past week or so and it is definitely up-to-date and current.

Likewise! This was great fun. Really want to see it as a series.

I wish miniseries were more popular. Too many TV shows with interesting premises like this go on far beyond their expiration date. This would be a great miniseries.
