“As for the future of the series, Friedman promised, “Yes, I’ve mapped it out. Yes, I know where we’re going.” Season 1 ends with the ninth episode, cut down from the intended 13, thanks to the recently concluded writers’ strike. Friedman said Episode 9 ends with a big cliffhanger, but that was “purely luck,’ as it was meant to be a cliffhanger for the next week’s episode, that now will function as one for the whole season. Fans asked what they could do to ensure The Sarah Connor Chronicles continues, and the panel all thanked everyone for their support, saying they should just continue watching the show, with Friedman saying he was encouraged by the high numbers the show was getting for DVR playback and online viewing. While Season 2 hasn’t been officially ordered by FOX yet, Friedman said, ‘Rest assured, we’re working on this.’” (via IGN: Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles Update)
