Life on Mars

Life on Mars returns from a long hiatus on a new night: Wednesday, January 28.

When the popular series comes back, readers want to know what's in store for the rest of the first season? Will it end differently than the British original on which this series is based?

According to ABC President Steve McPherson, who spoke last week at the TCA winter press tour, all signs point to a very different reason behind Sam Tyler's time-tripping.

"In this next installment [of episodes], you'll see that the mythology is not as per the British version," he said.
