More than two years have passed since the premiere of the finale of the fourth season of ‘The Ministry of Time’ and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was beginning to think that the great science fiction series was going to stay there. That does not mean that it was a surprise to discover that surely you could already be watching season 5 if not for TVE.
What’s going on with season 5
Javier Olivarescreator of the series together with his late brother Pablo, revealed in an interview with Formula TV that “I presented a fifth season at the request of TVE. In the end it was discarded, but the season has been done for a year“.
In this regard, it should be clarified that that does not mean that it is filmed or writtenbecause from Espinof we have contacted him and he has clarified that “was designed and presented as requested“, but what “never write before the final ok“.
The reason it didn’t work out is TVE’s inaction When it comes to doing series lately, as Olivares himself points out: “It is a very public television series, but it has been a year and a half with a president who I doubt was the least interested in fiction because it has not been produced or raised“.
Yes indeed, Jose Manuel Perez Turner resigned as president of TVE at the end of September of the year, so there is always room for a resurgence of fiction. For now, the role is held by Elena Sanchez Caballero on an interim basis and there has not been much movement on that line, but hopefully that will end up changing.
