For those wondering about Season 2 of Afterworld, here's an article you'll find interesting: http://tvangel.newsvine.com/_news/2008/05/07/1473355-brent-friedman-interview-part-i
If you don't want to read it all- they are planning a season 2 (so taking place after episode 130), but more like 50 episodes that are around 4 minutes each. No release date- the interview was from May 2008, and at the time they were in the middle of Gemini Devision.
The Wordwall is the best place to get up to date information. There's not a lot going on their right now, but it's the first place Season 2 info will be posted, most likely.

What Would Have Happened on Sliders?
"Sliders" was a great show that starred Jerry O'Connell, Cleavant Derricks, Sabrina Lloyd and John Rhys Davies (initially anyway). O'Connell played young scientest Quinn Mallory who discovered how to open wormholes that led to alternate realities. Early tests bring Quinn back to Earth, but when he changes a setting, they get stuck on an alternate Earth for a number of hours, the wormhole reopens and sends them all to another Earth. The first few seasons were good, then co-creator Tracy Torme started criticizing the show and David Peckinpah came in and changed the show's direction- and not really for the better. Characters were killed off, new ones brought in, and by the end, the only original cast member was Derricks- "Rembrandt Brown." Even Jerry O'Connell had left, replaced by someone who was supposed to have all of Quinn's memories but trapped in someone else's body.
The last episode had the Sliders coming into a reality where they were worshipped and Sliding was some sort of religion. A psychic on this world had been watching them clairavoyantly and he's able to prove it by various paintings and his impossible knowledge of their previous slides. He warns them that the next slide would be there last. After a whole lot of hoopla and drama, Rembrandt slides alone after being injected with a virus that could stop the evil Kro-mags from taking over the alternate Earths and the remaining Sliders were left with an uncertain future and without a timer (as it gets destroyed). For a really good synopsis, read this.
Surprisingly, there's not a whole lot of information as to what would've happened should there have been a season six, but there are a whole lot of questions.
From Earthprime.com:
With all indications that the fifth season was the last, why promote a cliffhanger?
In an online chat, Story Editor Keith Damron talked about a big-budget Kromagg battle royale that would use Geiger's combine technology to boot the Kromaggs off Earth Prime. It never came to be, and "The Seer" was produced in its place.
According to the Dimension of Continuity, the cliffhanger was predicated by production and by executive producer Bill Dial in particular to make cancelling the show harder — because the Sci-Fi Channel essentially ignored production.
The cliffhanger was the result of a production team attempting to fight back for having complete creative freedom over their stories, something Tracy Tormé had been fighting for since the beginning of the show.
Cleavant Derricks wished to keep the show going and pushed for a cliffhanger himself. "I never think it should end with any kind of closure," he insists. "I think one or all of us will go on to slide. The thing about sliding — in all of our imaginations — is that once you start it is difficult to stop. I don't care what your goals may have been along the line, but once you start it's very hard to give up."
I also read the Derricks thought that Prof. Arturo (Rhys Davies) should have returned for the 6th season as there was another episode that hinted Arturo and a double had switched places (or that the original had been forced to somehow), and it was the double that was killed, something that Tracy Torme had said as much during an interview.
So there's not much out there- not that I've been able to find anyway- but the cool thing about Sliders is that the possibilities were endless, so it's fun to imagine what might've happened.
