JJ Abrams Says Goodbye To "Fringe"



Sneak Peek an open letter from producer JJ Abrams, thanking fans, cast and crew "for five years of heartbreaking weirdness", following the cancellation of his Vancouver-lensed TV series "Fringe".


"TO THE FANS OF FRINGE ! 
THANK YOU !!! FOR FIVE YEARS OF HEARTBREAKING WEIRDNESS! WE ARE GRATEFUL TO YOU BEYOND WORDS. 
AND TO THE CAST AND CREW: YOU ARE THE BEST. 
I AM INDEBTED TO YOU ALL. 
XO JJ 


The 5th and final season of the paranormal TV series wrapped up  January 18, 2013, with a two-hour series finale.


"...'Fringe' follows the casework of the 'Fringe Division', a 'Joint Federal Task Force' supported by the 'Federal Bureau of Investigation', which includes 'Agent Olivia Dunham', 'Dr. Walter Bishop', 'Peter Bishop', 'Phillip Broyles' and 'Agent Astrid Farnsworth'.


"The Fringe Division investigates cases relating to 'fringe science', ranging from transhumanist experiments gone wrong to a possible collision of two parallel universes. The Fringe Division's work often intersects with advanced biotechnology developed by a company called 'Massive Dynamic', founded by Walter's former partner, 'Dr. William Bell', and run by their common friend, 'Nina Sharp'. 


The team is also watched silently by a group of men  called the 'Observers'..."


Despite its cancellation, "Fringe" managed to spin-off two six-part comic book series and an alternate reality game.
