Fox recently cancelled prehistoric time travel drama Terra Nova, despite a campaign by fans, but the show may get new life through Netflix.

Deadline reports that Netflix and production company 20th TV are in talks about continuing Terra Nova as a Netflix exclusive. A deal with Netflix would make sense, considering that the show had a much higher DVR viewership than its live ratings would suggest.

Netflix has already saved one Fox show, beloved comedy Arrested Development, but Terra Nova might be a taller order because of its huge effects budget. CGI dinosaurs don't come cheap.

20th TV has said it will try hard to find a new home for the show, so even if things don't work out with Netflix, another network may be interested.
