The gaming mockumentary series that started the web show craze has been laid to rest, it seems. Pure Pwnage writer and actor Jarett Cale (who plays star and pro gamer Jeremy) writes on the official forums that the new TV series has not been renewed for a second season by Showcase, and though they could sell it to another network, the ones he thought it would be a great fit for it have declined. We've put in a query with Showcase as for the reasons behind the decision to not renew.
Putting another nail in the coffin, after "struggling" to go on with the web series, Cale has put it on "indefinite hold."
A movie, however, is currently in talks, though it's not clear at this stage how likely it is to go ahead.
Cale adds they should've stopped producing the show in September 2008, but his desire to finish it overcame him.
"I wasn't and will never be comfortable leaving the story where it is," he comments, "Although that's something I might just have to accept."
Response to the news is surprisingly civil, to which he says, "Thanks so much for all the kind words and thoughts, it's far more than I expected given the nature of my post. Warms the soul." He adds that he'll be doing an interview based on the various questions at hand shortly.
In the meantime, Cale will be spending "much needed quality time" with his girlfriend and newborn son.
