 The Sci-Fi Channel concluded that the series was too expensive to renew, as ratings had declined during the fourth season.According to the DVD featurette "Save Farscape", Henson, Kemper, and Ben Browder announced the cancellation during an online chat with fans, and within hours fans had mounted a campaign to restore the show or transfer it to another network.Early plans to scrap the sets after production were postponed after news of the cancellation broke, partly as a result of the fan campaign.
