M-Net is terraforming its January schedule: Terra Nova, Steven Spielberg's new dino-drama will start on Wednesday 25 January at 20:30 on M-Net and M-Net HD - and here's the good news: what would have been a one hour premiere has just turned into a full 2 hour premiere similar to how the first two hours were shown in America when the show recently started there late in September.
While M-Net originally only planned a one hour first episode of Terra Nova - effectively ''breaking up'' the premiere launch of the show - M-Net's latest schedule update shows a ''double'' Terra Nova starting debut, which means it will be a 2 hour show.
The first two Terra Nova episodes entitled ''Genesis Part I'' and ''Genesis Part II'' will now follow each other immediately, with the rest of the first season's one hour episodes weekly after that.
Terra Nova revolves around the Shannon family who time travels from 2149 and a dying Earth, back 85 million years into Earth's past to join a new colony of sorts (called Terra Nova). Of course dinosaurs roam in the Cretacious era, the colony and its inhabitants have many secrets, there's another reason why the colony was created in the first place, there's a renegate band of former colonists called ''Sixers'' and the various Shannon family members all have their own problems and issues.
