The folks at SaveWildfire.com invite Nana’s fans to join them and voice your support for keeping Wildfire on the air.

In February 2008, ABC Family announced the series cancellation after just four seasons. At first, many fans believed this to be a rumor and impossible. We never thought ABC Family would cancel the series that redefined their network and touched the hearts of millions of people.

We, the fans of Wildfire, are disappointed that ABC Family has decided not to continue with the show. After much consideration, we have teamed up to make others aware of just how incredible this series is and that it is too early to retire it. Both Wildfires’ producers and fans would like to see the show continue. We have come together to raise awareness that we can work to save this series. We need everyone’s help to spread the word like Wildfire.

If you’re upset that ABC Family isn’t renewing Wildfire, there is a campaign you can join in an effort to change the network’s mind. Details under the cut.

In honor of that release, we bring you a new photo of Nana as Jean Ritter from the Wildfire’s upcoming season 4.

From StarTrek.com:

We have learned that Nana Visitor has been cast and has already shot her scenes for a film that will be very timely when it is released in 2008. She plays the quirky wife of a Democratic presidential candidate in “Swing Vote,” produced by Kevin Costner. Dennis Hopper is her insecure husband, while Kelsey Grammer (”Captain Morgan Bateson“) plays the smug incumbent Republican.

The story fictionalizes the dead-heat presidential election of 2000, but instead of Florida, the deciding electoral vote comes down to New Mexico, and one county in particular, and in a fluke of circumstances, one vote by one particular citizen. And naturally, the two candidates and their campaign organizations swoop down on the small rural town to sway that vote. Costner plays the apathetic trailer-park single dad who faces the pressure of having to single-handedly decide the fate of the free world.

Most of the film was shot on location in New Mexico, which is quite convenient to Visitor because she is living there while shooting Wildfire, an ABC Family show going into its fourth season. Her role in “Swing Vote” is small, but significant.

Visitor also recently shot an episode of Battlestar Galactica with another presidential connection. She told fans in Las Vegas that all her scenes were performed with Mary McDonnell, who plays President Laura Roslin. Visitor’s character is named “Emily Kowlski,” according to IMDB.com, and she will appear in the eighth episode of Season Four in early 2008. No word yet if her character will recur later in this final season of the Ronald D. Moore series.

Lionsgate has finally announced a release date for Wildfire, season 2, on DVD: November 6, 2007.

The 13-episode, 3-disc set retails at $39.98, but fans can pre-order it from Amazon.com for $27.99, to be shipped as soon as it is available. Although the set extras are not yet verified, rumor has it that each episode has audio commentary and Lionsgate is working on extras including a featurette on the show’s music; interviews; and behind-the-scenes access.
