Sci Fi has officially dropped the series about a wizard-private eye and there will not be a second season. It was fairly obvious that the cable channel had already decided to drop the ax a couple of weeks back when I spoke with Sci Fi executives at the Television Critics Association's semiannual press tour. But no one wanted to come right out and say Files was dead. The official word comes just as it's announced that Paul Blackthorne, the show's star, has signed on to the cast of ABC's Big Shots as a high-powered CEO.
