Permanent hiatus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term permanent hiatus refers to a television show or video game that work has been stopped on, oftentimes titles which find themselves on permanent hiatus are dangerously close to being cancelled. It should be noted however that a hiatus itself does not mean a show is being cancelled, oftentimes in US Television a network may put a show on Hiatus to air another show in its timeslot, or for continuty reasons a show will make its initial run shorter. An example of the latter would be season one of the Fox drama Prison Break.
