Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles creator Josh Friedman has told fans not to expect a show revival via Kickstarter.

Fans of the short-lived Fox sci-fi series have campaigned for its return following the success of the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter - which hit its $2 million target in under 24 hours.

However, Friedman took to Twitter to shoot down rumours of a similar campaign for his show, saying it was "highly unlikely" that Terminator: TSCC would return.

All u asking about a TSCC kickstarter...rights situation, budget necessities, motivation of corporate entities make it HIGHLY unlikely. — josh friedman (@Josh_Friedman) March 16, 2013

The writer/producer claimed that bringing back Veronica Mars is "a very different deal" to reviving his Terminator spinoff, due to the amount of visual effects required.

Appreciate the emails/tweets, etc. But VM a very different deal. Again, thx for loving the show. But I think what u got is what you got. #31 — josh friedman (@Josh_Friedman) March 16, 2013

Friedman recently used Twitter to address Fox's decision to axe Terminator: TSCC in 2009, claiming that sci-fi drama "isn't easy" to pull off on network television.

"I've always said - they made a perfectly reasonable... decision," he wrote. "I hold no anger towards Fox for cancelling TSCC. Ratings weren't good. They gave it a chance - promoted it heavily. People didn't watch."

"I love the passion of the fans. Many of u miss show. So do I. But anger at Fox is misplaced. They've tried many genre shows that didn't fly."

The success of the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign has fuelled rumours that the crowd-funding site could be used to revive other cult series.

Chuck star Zachary Levi and Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller have both expressed an interest in returning to their respective shows, while Joss Whedon has ruled out the possibility of using the crowd funding site to bring back his axed sci-fi series Firefly in the near future.
