An unusual murder brings together three strangers, John, Jack, and Charles, on a rainy night in London during the First World War.

According to a myspace bulletin from Jill Wagner, Spike TV’s Blade: The Series has not been picked up for a second season.

Just wanted to say thanks again to all of you who supported me and Blade the Series. I was just informed today that there will be NO 2nd season of Blade the Series. I really enjoyed playing Krista and i hope that i did her justic at least for one season! However, that is not the end of Jill Wagner’s acting career. I will keep you guys posted on what’s next for me. Again i say thanks for the support. Hey, there is always the DVD right????

Spike TV confirmed the news to SCI FI Wire.

“Yes, that’s true,” a Spike representative told SCI FI Wire on Sept. 29. “It won’t be renewed for a second season. I can tell you that Spike TV was very happy with the creative part of Blade. The cast, the actual production. We absolutely enjoyed working with New Line and [executive producer] David Goyer, [writer] Geoff Johns. But honestly, the network was disappointed with the audience turnout and the ratings. But I can tell you that New Line is going to be issuing a DVD of the entire season.”
