12 Eps lang. Parang Wonderfalls. The good thing is they can plan a proper ending. One article quoted Minear saying that Fox just lets him make 12 hour movies.
The article provided by Phobos only mentioned Fox's plans with just two episodes. According to TVrage.com, 13 episodes were ordered. It doesn't mention how many were actually shot. If all episodes were filmed, hopefully a British network picks it up and airs all episodes. A similar situation happened with Minear's other show, The Inside. Fox cancelled after 6 or 7 segments, then UK's ITV4 aired all 13 episodes.
This is the most frustrating aspect about US network television, all of the free air channels yank promising programs before they grow and build an audience. Minear and company are better suited for premium cable channels like HBO and Showtime. Even though both networks are known to cancel shows, they film all the episodes that they order. It's less painful and rewarding for the viewer. But I think Minear has an exclusive development deal with Fox
