The final filmed episodes of Tim Minear’s “Drive” will not be airing this Friday the 13th after all.
A repeat of “Bones” and a new episode of “Standoff” will air on Fox that night.
Fox currently has no plans to air the final episodes. Some have speculated that these might turn up on a DVD release, but Fox has yet to announce DVD plans for Minear’s 2005 FBI series, “The Inside,” which completed a lot more episodes.
One hears Nathon Fillion has already moved on to “Desperate Housewives,” which is so funny it beat “The Office” for the “best comedy series” Golden Globe a few years ago.

Faster than you can swat a “Firefly,” Fox appears to have cancelled “Drive,” the acclaimed new action-adventure series that reteamed writer-producer Tim Minear with actor Nathan Fillion.
It looks like “House” repeats inherit the pre-“24” slot effective Monday. The last two completed episodes may get burned off on two Fridays in May.

Remember that Tim Minear’s “Drive” goes away after episode six (a long-planned hiatus unrelated to the show’s ratings or lack thereof), so enjoy ‘em while you got ‘em!
Now that Nebraska landscaper Alex Tully has gotten back in touch with his inner getaway driver, what horrors await the other speed racers who stand between him and Amy Acker??
Fox says:
At the pit stop, Alex and Corinna are offered a "jump start" to move ahead of the other racers, but Corinna fears it will prove deadly; Susan and Leigh are determined to stay in the race after Ivy's betrayal; Rob receives devastating news; Wendy fears for her baby's safety; And one racer is permanently taken out of the race in the DRIVE episode "No Turning Back." Guest Cast: Brian Bloom as Allan James; Amy Acker as Kathryn Tully; Cindy Williams as House Mother; Rick Overton as Bank Manager; Franklin Dennis Jones as Major Lowell Hyatt; Kevin Symons as Driver; Jason Matthew Smith as Rent-a-cop.

It’s a genre-bending Fox hourlong about seemingly ordinary people – a Nebraska landscaper, an abused new mother, an Iraq vet and his girlfriend, a young paroled convict and his rich-kid half-brother, an astrophysicist and his Lohan-y teen daughter, a trio of party girls, and many, many more - unexpectedly plucked from their lives by powerful and mysterious (and sadistic and malevolent?) forces to compete in a secret cross-country road race for a $32 million grand prize.
Some are in the race for the money. Some are in the race to find out what happened to their missing (kidnapped?) loved ones, who may (or may not) be waiting at the finish line.

Amy Acker will play the missing wife of Nathan Fillion’s character on Tim Minear’s Fox action-adventure-suspense-mystery-comedy-drama series “Drive,” according to timminear.com.
Both Acker and Fillion have worked with Minear previously, on “Angel” and “Firefly,” respectively.
Minear tells Ain’t It Cool that Acker will not be a regular on the show (her character is, after all, missing), but she will appear in multiple episodes.
Fox is expected to begin airing the series, centered on a very strange cross-country road race, this year.

We’re getting reports from a couple of untested sources suggesting that Nathan Fillion, “Firefly’s” Capt. Mal Reynolds, is about to sign on as the male lead in “Drive,” the brilliant “Lost”-ish, “Amazing Race”-ish new action-suspense-comedy-drama from “Firefly” writer-producer-co-showrunner Tim Minear.
One gathers Fillion would play Alex, which means he would replace “Charmed” hunk Ivan Sergei, who starred in the original pilot.
We’ve been told in the past that Fox could begin airing “Drive” as early as spring.
