Here is the whole article:
After Hayden Christensen has finished exploring the galaxy, he might return to Canadian TV. The Thornhill-raised actor, named Star Wars' newest Anakin Skywalker, has agreed to do more episodes of his B.C.-based drama Higher Ground if the show is renewed, series star Joe Lando said yesterday. "Hayden has agreed to come back because he's very grateful to the show," Lando said. "Higher Ground landed him a manager, which landed him an agency, and from that his tape went in to (George) Lucas' people."
On the series about troubled teens at a wilderness high school, Christensen plays Scott, a former football star recovering from both a drug habit and being sexually exploited by his stepmother. Lando plays the school's founder. The show made its Canadian debut last fall on NTV. Its first season of 22 episodes already has aired in the U.S. on cable network Fox Family Channel, and the show has been sold to broadcasters in France, Spain, Italy and Germany. Whether it will have a second season remains to be seen. Lando said Fox Family executives seem indifferent to the heat Christensen's Star Wars casting could draw to the series and have not committed to a continuation.
If Fox Family does opt out, NBC has expressed an interest in running the show, then passing it on to PAX, the cable network it partly owns, said Lando, one of the show's executive producers. He praised Christensen as "a fine actor" but has also been impressed by the potential of other young cast members, particularly A.J. Cook and Meghan Ory. "You know, all these kids in the show like acting. It's not like they like it because they can go buy a Prada handbag, and go get a video game or something like that. These kids love to act, and Hayden is one of the true actors," he said.
When Christensen got the call to go audition for Anakin, he asked Lando if he'd mind switching shooting schedules with him so he could leave for California. "I'm like, 'Do I mind?' You know, I'd be just a real asshole if I said no," Lando said. When Christensen phoned him to say he'd landed the huge part, Lando got goosebumps. "I ran upstairs and told my wife and I called my parents. It was like I got the part," he said. Lando has a lot of reasons for hoping Higher Ground continues. Since he started work on it, he has sold his U.S. home, bought a 1930s cottage in West Vancouver and moved up his wife and two-year-old son."
It doesn´t say, that higher ground will come back, but it gives some hope...

A scecond season of Higher Ground would be great, but it's not going to happen. The date of that article was sometime in 2000, when they thought HG might be renewed by FFC.

I know this sounds strange, but I'm actually a little bit afraid of a next season of HG. What if it doesn't turn out as good as the first season. After all, it's four years since HG got on the air for the first time. All the actors has grown and they don't look like they did, even with make-up. If they're gonna make a new season, I think they would have to make "after horizon" kind of episodes. I'm not sure I wanna know what happens after horizon. It all ended so nice..........
Anyone feels the same?

i doubt they'll do a second season of HG...
that article is not that recent and i think that if there was to be a 2nd season we would have heard something more than that by now...
