It's been almost two years since Pushing Daisies went off the air. While the show did have a great ending, there were still quite a few mysteries left unresolved. And some of those were going to be answered in season three.But season three would not be on TV. Instead, it would be in comic book form. Specifically, twelve comic books with the first one being released in early 2011. Which is now. But now has been pushed back a bit.
A division of DC Comics was going to release the comics. But the company at DC Comics, like the TV series itself, has also been cancelled. Or in this case, went out of business. So the wait for the comics (and the resolutions) has been extended.
But there is a little bit of good news. Three little bits to be exact.
First, a black and white page preview of the comic has been released online on the websites for Bryan Fuller (the show's creator) and Lee Pace (Ned / The Pie Maker on Pushing Daisies).
Second, the Pushing Daisies season two soundtrack was recently released (yes, over two years after that season debuted). The season one soundtrack is also still available.
But my favorite news of all is this from a few weeks ago - Bryan Fuller wants to do a Pushing Daisies six episode mini-series on the Starz network. Now maybe it won't end up at that network and maybe it won't happen at all since it's kind of just a writer's wish at the moment. But at least now there's hope that Pushing Daisies could come back to life (much like Chuck and Digby in the series).
He's brought another show of his back from the dead before. Dead Like Me returned with a two hour direct-to-DVD movie over four years after the final episode had aired on Showtime. And one of the storylines from his show Wonderfalls was continued over four years after that show was cancelled in a season two episode of Pushing Daisies. So maybe there is hope this could happen.
But for now, the only sure thing is seasons one and two on DVD (both also available on Blu-ray) and the soundtracks for both seasons.
