Every Fox fans worst nightmare is coming true: the next installment to the hit show is being delayed but only by a few months.
It's disappointing, sure but not entirely surprising considering the facts we know; 1.) The show has outpaced the novels. 2.) Last season left on an insanely climatic cliffhanger with Fox's father, Jaul played by Kory Green, returning and Rath (Steven Acedo) taking Trobathian heroin Daisy Peterson, played by Melanie Tornroth in season 2- while a seemingly curious Merila (Janelle Garcia) watching Jaul and Fox (Monroe Hayden) depart into the mountains of Rizandor. 3.) The show has one film unit to film both Ganadan and Trobathian scenes. 4.) Every season delivers on a higher level than the season prior.

With expectations such as these to exceed, the production needs more time to make it especially since the show films in real locations and weather plays a serious part to that. With the teaser trailer just released, it is pretty apparent that Fox will be travelling the tops of the mountains of Rizandor or perhaps Auxdra, with her growing brotherhood. Filming in snow brings lots of challenges to front; 1.) It's cold. 2.) It melts.

Continuity is everything! So if the snow melts, the crew has to travel further to get footage to match or reshoot the scene(s) in a more familiar environment. However, despite continuity- another main concern is that filming in freezing temperatures limits the drive of the team. Actors are layered and cheating their way to keep the warmth of their body heat while filming but that can only keep them warm for so long until they start risking frost bite. So although you see no shivering or blue lips, believe us when we say that actors are fighting the cold with every ounce of heat they have!
So even though it is a downer that we have to wait, yes even me- I may work for SkySoft but I don't know much about the future of the characters or plots, it is understandable as to why waiting is a must. Here's a warm round of applause to the actors for bearing the cold!
