Tremors: The Series is a spin-off of Tremors and was produced at the same time as Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. The story for the TV series picks up from where Tremors 3 leaves off. It follows the residents of Perfection Valley attempting to co-exist with a graboid, while dealing with problems caused by failed government experiments, mad scientists, or ruthless real-estate developers. The show was made as a replacement for the cancelled Farscape, and though it was Sci-Fi's highest-rated program at the time, it failed to hit Farscape's demographic and was cancelled after one season of 13 episodes.
The series has yet to be released on DVD, and it has recently been taken off of iTunes. It is currently available on Hulu.
