After two weeks of rapid ratings drops, V: The New Series has thankfully come to an abrupt halt in a nick of time for its fall finale.. The fourth episode of V drew 9.2 million viewers and a 3.1 rating on Tuesday evening, matching last week..

The network ran a promo at the end of the episode saying V will return in March, which concludes speculation about whether the show will return next year.. ABC’s publicity department confirmed the show is coming back, though noted a specific date has not been set.. ABC’s unusual roll out for V included airing only four episodes this fall, opting for a ” wait and see “ approach before committing to the production of the remainder the season..

TVByTheNumbers.com has posted that according to an ABC press release, the numbers for the V debut jumped by +2.4 million viewers and by +1.0 Adult 18 – 49 rating point, finishing with an average audience of 16.7 million viewers and a 6.2 Adult 18 – 49 rating in the finalized DVR playback averages..

The numbers of the other episodes would surely have jumped as well.. For those worried whether episode S01E04 will be the last we’ll see, don’t be.. We’ll see the series return in March 2010..

The V Files has received a number of emails asking whether we will see the series return? And why the long wait?

Yes, we will.. There are a few factors of why we have to wait to March 2010 to see the rest of the season.. Firstly, it was always planned to be release in ” Pod “ form to treat it more like event programming.. Secondly, they want to avoid the mass lose of viewers, which will effect the ratings, due to American Idol in January and the Winter Games in February.. But one of the main reasons is to allow writers sometime to write some great scripts..

The Production team were at the same stages as the Writers.. As soon as the Writers had written part of the script the Production team finished filming it.. So the writers felt they were being rushed.. Of course thus would result in poor scripting.. This hiatus gives the Writers the time they need.. Then the cast and crew will go back into production in January..
