Bad news for fans of prehistoric time-travel drama Terra Nova: negotiations between 20th Century Fox and Netflix to continue the show online appear to have fallen through.

20th Century Fox hasn't released the actors from the cancelled show yet, but there don't appear to be any other networks willing to share the high cost of the show's prehistoric sets and special effects.

Previous shows Netflix has rescued after cancellation, including the beloved comedy <em>Arrested Development, don't come close to Terra Nova's budget.
