Joshua Jackson is breaking his silence on the cancellation of "Doctor Odyssey" after one season.

“This is a crazy and difficult business, and whatever the reasons were for them not wanting to move forward with it, they don’t actually tell us those things,” Jackson told People, adding that he is “always bummed out when a show gets canceled.”

“They may make that show with somebody else. I have no idea what their plans are. They haven’t let me know, but I am not holding my breath that it’s coming back. I’m sad that we don’t get to go back and do it again. But I really enjoyed the time that we did get to do it.”
