I really, really enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was a really good group of people, and it was a really fun show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But this is a crazy and difficult business, and whatever the reasons were for them not wanting to move forward with it, they don&#8217;t actually tell us those things.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m going to miss the gang for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJoshua is &#8220;sad&#8221; he won&#8217;t get to return to the show but he hoped fans still had a great time watching.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I hope they got the same thing that we got out of it, which was that it was a beautiful, over-the-top kind of experience that was like nothing else on television, I don&#8217;t think.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m sad that we don&#8217;t get to go back and do it again. But I really enjoyed the time that we did get to do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe former Dawson&#8217;s Creek star confirmed his contract had &#8220;lapsed&#8221; so the show was cancelled by default, and though there is always a possibility Doctor Odyssey could return with a new cast, he thinks it is unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;They may make that show with somebody else.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I have no idea what their plans are. They haven&#8217;t let me know, but I am not holding my breath that it&#8217;s coming back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDoctor Odyssey was co-created by Ryan Murphy and the actor heaped praise on his experience working with the American Horror Story showrunner.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;He dreams up incredible worlds, and he puts together great teams, both in front of the camera and behind the camera.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So I know everybody from that show is going to be okay, everybody&#8217;s good. It&#8217;s a bummer we don&#8217;t get to do it again, but I&#8217;m happy for the time that we got.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/joshua-jackson-speaks-doctor-odyssey-cancellation-1422232.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 July 2025 Joshua Jackson is &#8220;bummed out&#8221; by the cancellation of Doctor Odyssey.
