You’re breaking our heart, Syfy.

The one main staple of the five-film Tremors franchise over the years has been Graboid hunter Burt Gummer, played by Michael Gross across all the films as well as the original spinoff television series. He’s still the lead of the film franchise, with a sixth on the way next year, but will he be part of Syfy’s small screen reboot?

Unfortunately, it looks like Gross won’t be starring alongside the returning Kevin Bacon for the forthcoming series. Gross took to Facebook last night to break the news.

“For Tremors fans who have been asking, ‘Will Kevin Bacon return to do the films?’ or ‘Is your Burt Gummer character going to be in Kevin’s series?’ I think we can say with a good deal of certainty that the answer to both questions is NO,” Gross wrote. “The series is currently shooting in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I have no other details.”

“If Burt Gummer appears, [he] will be played by another [actor],” Gross added.
