August 15, 2011 Update: Here! has released additional information about Dante’s Cove: The Book of Tresum. It is now clearly being billed as a new series and not a continuation or season four of Dante’s Cove. The Book of Tresum is going to be set 21 years later and will be shot on location in New York City and Turks & Caicos. Casting information is still not available. There is speculation amongst fans as to how far into production the show is and if it will actually be ready for airing Fall 2011. Here! has posted in its Facebook discussion about the new series indicating that casting was not yet finalized and they are waiting on that to begin production. This makes a Fall 2011 premiere even less likely.
