Question:
Does anyone know why they never renewed the Blade series?
Answers:
It was canceled due to low ratings and cost. See below:
Although the series premiere had 2.5 million viewers, was the most-watched original series premiere in Spike TV history, and was also the #1 show on cable for the evening with Men 18–34 and 18–49, this occurred in a year where most cable premieres were outstanding, and the series has since failed to hold its numbers.

I think the original plot episode is to be released in September 2007.
On September 28, 2006, Jill Wagner, star of Blade: The Series, announced that she was informed that there would be no second season of the show. The next day, Spike announced in a press release that the show would not be picked up.
As a response to a letter in Wizard Magazine, series writer/producer Geoff Johns gives a reason why he thinks the series was canceled: "The network didn't want to cancel it, I just think Spike TV is still a young network, and the price it was costing to make...they just weren't able to do it."
