In the early 2000s, Jessica Alba and James Cameron teamed up for a sci-fi series that debuted to massive ratings before being\u00a0cancelled too soon<\/a>. “Dark Angel” was ambitious yet short-lived, and more than two decades later, many viewers may not remember why it ended so quickly, despite Cameron’s involvement.<\/p>\n Alba starred as a supersoldier named Max Guevara, who lives in a post-apocalyptic 2019 after a disastrous government experiment. Cameron developed the series with Charles H. Eglee, and “Dark Angel” arrived at a time when TV audiences were already embracing tough, genre-bending female heroines, as seen on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/a>.” The payoff? “Dark Angel’s” debut episode on Fox\u00a0logged an impressive 17.4 million viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Dark Angel” was also expensive. The pilot reportedly cost around $12 million, and, as noted in\u00a0“The Encyclopedia of Superheroes on Film and Television<\/a>,” Season 2 episodes were still running about $1.3 million apiece. With high costs and declining viewership, the network ultimately reversed course on Season 3,\u00a0leaving\u00a0“Dark Angel” Season 2 to end on a cliffhanger<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Could Jessica Alba and James Cameron ever reunite for more Dark Angel?<\/p>\n
Fox<\/p>\n As streaming has made it easier for viewers to revisit older TV series, questions about reboots and revivals often follow.\u00a0In 2024, Alba addressed the possibility while speaking to ET<\/a>\u00a0during a press tour for Netflix’s\u00a0“Trigger Warning.” When asked whether she would consider returning to “Dark Angel,”\u00a0she said, “Oh my goodness, would I do ‘Dark Angel’ again? If [Cameron] wanted to do ‘Dark Angel,’ I would do ‘Dark Angel’ again.”\u00a0She added, “He really has been a mentor of mine and it would just be fun to work with him. We have that history together, and I admire him so much, so I think it would be fun.”<\/p>\n Alba also suggested that the series’ themes might resonate differently today. “[Dark Angel] was ahead of its time, for sure,” she said. “It would be really interesting just to see where [Cameron] and [Eglee] would take it knowing what we know now about AI and everything … and just where technology is. It would be cool to see how, where they would dream.”<\/p>\n
