Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly
stated: This thing is going to be huge. Its going to take
an enormous production commitment.[40]
In an unusual decision, Fox skipped ordering just a pilot,
and instead immediately ordered thirteen episodes. This
was partly due to nancial reasons, as the large Australian
sets are expensive to dismantle and rebuild. Despite this
decision, the producers denied the production was overbudget, with Peter Rice explaining instead the show is a
very expensive ... very ambitious television show. Kevin
Reilly continued: We're not in completely uncharted territory here. The start-up cost for the series is denitely on
the high end. But its not some bank-breaking series.[41]
With only 10% of Cretaceous-era dinosaurs recorded in
the fossil record, the producers decided to supplement
the series with plausible ctional species; palaeontologist
Jack Horner was invited to create realistic creatures for
the period and dierent from those of the Jurassic Park
lm franchise.[34]

Terra Nova was expected to premiere in the U.S. in May

2011 with a two-hour preview, but due to the time involved for visual eects, its pilot was moved to autumn

one.[58] In May 2011, Fox announced the series would air
on Monday nights,[10] and released a full trailer.[59] Terra

dinosaurs, who particularly in the rst hour are as

Journal wrote: "Terra Nova leaves ye olde cheap-set series in the dust with production values that make each
episode look cinematic.[72] The Washington Post wrote,
Literally the biggest thing on TV this fall, Terra Nova
has it all: time travel, misguided utopianism, 'Swiss Family Robinson'-style cohesion and lots of hungry dinosaurs.
Its all pretty dazzling.[73]

called "Stargate Universe by Mark A. Perigard of the
Boston Herald.[74] Sam Wollaston of The Guardian stated
that there was only one interesting character and that
A lot of the fault lies with what they have to say to
each other. The script is as corny and cheesy as a
family-sized portion of cheesy corn nachos.[75] New
York magazine reviewer Chadwick Matlin vowed never
to watch the show again, saying Sure, the premise had
promise, but even masochists like us can only take so
much.[76] But by the nale in December things had
turned around again where critics were mostly pleased

the season nale exciting.[77] The series rst season
