Fringe Moves Down Under

It turns out Fringe won't be moving to Canada after all. But it's not staying in New York, either.

Our inside source confirmed this morning that Fringe will move production to Melbourne, Australia next season, in the homeland of stars Anna Torv and John Noble (Olivia and Walter). Fellow Aussies Nicole Kidman and Paul Hogan will join the cast as Olivia's mother and William Bell, respectively.

As a result of the time change (Melbourne being across the International Date Line), Fringe will air Tuesday mornings at 6:00 AM EST in the United States.

Writer/Producer JR Orci could not be reached for confirmation, as he's currently putting another shrimp on the barbie, but he did say that beginning with next week's episode, Gene will be killed and resurrected every week, in the spirit of South Park's Kenny.
