Sarah Jane's current status:

UK - Series 3 will be on BBC One and CBBC and BBC HD this fall. The start date
has been reported as Thursday 15 October in some places, which would be later
than the last 2 years and a change in the day of the week if it happens.

USA - Since Syfy has not purchased Series 2 or 3 of Sarah Jane, we have no idea
when or if the episodes will reach our TV screens. No network has mentioned that
they are buying the show yet. Yes, BBC America has been sent e-mails and
twitters asking if they'll step forward.

CANADA - BBC Kids has not mentioned any plans to pick up Sarah Jane Series 2.
Instead they've been getting themselves dropped from some cable systems. No
other network has mentioned if they want Sarah Jane in Canada.

USA and CANADA - Sarah Jane Series 2 will actually premiere in these two
countries on DVD, barring last minute surprises. The DVD release is Tuesday
November 10th.
