A month after securing a 13-episode fifth and final season renewal from Fox, modestly rated sci-fi drama Fringe has been sold in off-network syndication to Discovery Communications’ Science Channel. The pact between Fringe producer/distributor Warner Bros and Science includes a SVOD carveout, allowing Warner Bros to sell the series to a streaming service where serialized dramas do far better than in traditional off-network syndication.

Yes! Well deserved. This is by far the hardest working cast I've seen in a long time. Everyone delivered top notch quality performance every week and now it pays off. I don't have the science channel in my cable packet but will try to figure out how to get it. Fringe Rocks and I will continue to support it where ever it goes!
I'm a little confused,so what exactly does this mean? sounds like good news lol
That means that by showing re-runs, the cast gets paid as long as Fringe is on the air on what ever channel.
oh thats awesome! I think the writers should take their show to another channel though and continue seasons, idk if that is possible, but it should be. fox just doesnt do them justice in my opinion.
Fringe is in good company along with Firefly. Fringe found a good home. We'll have to nickname the Science channel the Fringe Science channel.
