I have emailed BF direct just politely enquiring.. Everyone on the internetz is being very "tight lipped" which is interesting..  Let us know if you get a response. Or not. It's 8:40am Tuesday now.. I got a "read receipt" reply at 4:21am this morning, no response (yet).
HHMM!

You're about 10 1/2 hours ahead of us..so that would have been read about 5.50pm UK time. Assuming an 8.00am start for Big Finish and a willingness to answer your email straight away, hopefully you might get a response from 6.00pm onwards. On the other hand, you might not. We shall see... |

Well even if new series is a continuation then the script guys for the new series should just rope in Joe and his team who certainly know how to produce some Dark drama 😉

I'd been hoping you'd have got a reply by now - change in the release schedule, contributor availability, technical issues, rewrites....but no reply at all? 🤔 |

But, this is still idle speculation. Fingers crossed and all that... |

Thing is you cannot help but try to ask a rational question, but when you're met with a wall of silence end up with a very irrational answer. Like you say though, fingers crossed. |

But, as you say, BF do have a heads in the sand / radio silence approach to bad news. So maybe no news means bad news in this case.
I was checking their original press release. As well as Windcliff we were due something they had wanted to do for along time in September 2020 and Thirteen in 2021. Presumably if Windcliff is off then it's all off

Oh yeah, the press release, when was that published? According to this press release from 5 September 2018: www.bigfinish.com/news/v/dark-shadows-more-coming-soon"April 2020 will see the release of a further 13-part-serial – Dark Shadows: Windcliff."
&
"More stories are scheduled for September 2020 and April 2021. “September 2020’s story is something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” continues Joe. “And the following April will see the release of a further 13-part-serial provisionally titled Thirteen. What will happen? Who knows...”
I did a bit of digging, and this was posted from the official Windcliff Sanitarium Twitter account that is "curated by @darkshadowsbfp" on Jan 9:
Unless something has radically changed in the past two months, I don't think we should write it off just yet...

Question, if BF did lose the license due to the new show, what would happen to prior purchases? Would they be no longer for sale but still available via the app, or gone in both places? I don't download my purchases since my laptop is an older slow as molasses Mac, and I rarely use vs phone or tablet. Hopefully they would still be on the app if license pulled?

IfSapphireabd Steel and Stargate are anything to go by you would keep the downloads but BF wouldn't be able to sell the cds any longer. |

I received an email response 1:22am Adelaide time, so 5 1/2 hours ago.
I will copy and paste the relevant quote here (I personally don't believe it should go in the "Updates or Obscure News thread" yet as it's a personal BF email direct to me, not published publically. (subtle hint)..
"We actually haven't ever put this title up on the website for pre-orders, although it has been mentioned in other places.
We hope to be formally announcing Windcliff and putting it up for pre-orders later this year"
So.. Looks like it has been moved to later this year from the previously announced April 2020.
PHEW.!

Interesting timing....that's right around the same time I fired a tweet inquiring about it, out to the Big Finish account, the DSBFP account, the Windcliff account, and to Joe. VERY COINCIDENTAL.... (Almost certainly actually coincidental, I'm just going for unearned drama  ) |

So Official limbo they can't confirm either way.
Still unlike Jekall as they say no Customer money's been taken for it.
