Don't assume silence indicates a lack of activity. Believe me.

I've been craving more so that's great news. I just plowed through the Tony and Cassadra Mysteries and it really wet my appetite.

Well given the way BF at home managed to pull out all the stops to have home recording for their casts during the lockdown am hoping the same has been done for our US favourites too. Must have saved them a fortune anyways on lunches for the casts,travelling expenses just pad out a cupboard and savings all round 😂
But nah am sure the energy from a cast gathering in one space to record is more energetic ,creative and fun that probably delivers a better product.
i look forward to some NEW material very very soon

I wonder what's really stopping BF from recording more Dark Shadows. I thought for a while that it would be cast availability, but for example some of the original cast will be performing A Christmas Carol online next month and it's not the first time they've participated in events all together since the beginning of the pandemic.
What would be the problem? Equipment? Scripts? Low sales? Who knows...

4pm PST seems to be midnight UK-time... Well, it looks like I'm going to be needing a whole lot of coffee after work that evening!

sirluisphilip, a thousand thanks for that heads-up. I caught most of that, it was almost like a religious experience to see Alexandria exchanging lines with cast again. Absolutely made my holidays. Phenomenal!!!

Nearly a year since the no-news update. 16 months since Rob's kind update. Three years since the last release.
If the range is dead, BF has lost the licence, whatever -- I wish they'd just say so. Leaving fans in limbo like this, for this long...I'm sure they're not intentionally being cruel, but it's hard to see it any other way at this point.

I'm going to have disagree with you a little bit on the update front. The following was from four months ago in the letters section of August's Vortex (hat tip to aussie for originally spotting this one): I was just wondering if there are any plans to bring back the Dark Shadows range? I adored Bloodlust and Bloodline! Is another full-cast series a possibility?
Nick: The range hasn’t been cancelled, and we’re hoping that things will get moving soon. We’re currently waiting on the producer of Dark Shadows.FIngers crossed for a visit to Windcliff in 2023. 🤞

Still no updates?
Could be wrong, but I'm assuming the "problems" must be to do with actors' availability / health. I wonder at what point BF decide to cut their losses and simply rewrite / recast to get round availability problems. Speculation here, but I would assume their license has a finish date and surely they would want to get something released before that date in order to bring in a bit of revenue to cover whatever costs have been incurred to date on the Wyncliff project.

I get its frustrating if your fan but this is where their at with a possible TV reboot soaps.sheknows.com/soaps/news/662973/dark-shadows-reboot-2023-vampire-soap-opera-returning/Now I imagine from the US rights holders side that puts Audios in limbo or low priority. (interestingly in earlier articles down the years Katherine Lee Scott does mention various attempts to get her more recent tie in novels published with US publishers. As to BF I can imagine a definite stalemate of No more Dark Shadows permanently shuts the door and on the bright side there's no customer cash currently in limbo for the Range. Regards mark687
