So all episodes that were produced will indeed have aired come next Tuesday&#8217;s finale.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Chris Jericho&#8217;s comment that there are plans to film additional episodes of &#8220;Downfall&#8221; this fall, ABC would not confirm or deny plans to order episodes of the series beyond next Tuesday&#8217;s finale, only telling <strong>Headline Planet<\/strong> that there has not yet been an order given to the show, and that if the show were to come back, it would again be as a summer series.  In that regard, the representative confirmed that the network doesn&#8217;t &#8220;know plans this far out for next summer.&#8221;  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>News on Future of ABC&#039;s &quot;Downfall&quot; -- Were Chris Jericho&#039;s Comments True?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"At least a portion of the comments Chris Jericho made about the future of his ABC game show &quot;Downfall&quot; were valid, as an ABC representative confirmed to\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/07\/15\/exclusive-news-on-future-of-abcs-downfall-were-chris-jerichos-comments-true\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"News on Future of ABC&#039;s &quot;Downfall&quot; -- Were Chris Jericho&#039;s Comments True?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"At least a portion of the comments Chris Jericho made about the future of his ABC game show &quot;Downfall&quot; were valid, as an ABC representative confirmed to\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/07\/15\/exclusive-news-on-future-of-abcs-downfall-were-chris-jerichos-comments-true\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-07-16T03:30:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2010-07-16T03:35:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/view4.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/image\/6162129\/wwe-monday-night-raw-las\/wwe-monday-night-raw-las.jpg?size=234&imageId=6162129\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/07\/15\/exclusive-news-on-future-of-abcs-downfall-were-chris-jerichos-comments-true\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/07\/15\/exclusive-news-on-future-of-abcs-downfall-were-chris-jerichos-comments-true\/\",\"name\":\"News on Future of ABC's \\\"Downfall\\\" -- Were Chris Jericho's Comments True?\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-07-16T03:30:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-07-16T03:35:55+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"At least a portion of the comments Chris Jericho made about the future of his ABC game show \\\"Downfall\\\" were valid, as an ABC representative confirmed to\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/07\/15\/exclusive-news-on-future-of-abcs-downfall-were-chris-jerichos-comments-true\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
