[The Truman Show] What happened next?

Truman walked off the set of a TV show whose budget, according to Christof, approached the GDP of a small country. And from Truman's perspective, he went from being a nobody to the most famous man in the world. How did this all play out?

After his dramatic exit from the sound stage, Truman disappears for a time.  Police records indicate that he was detained by studio security for 7 hours before being remanded to Police custody under undisclosed charges.  Mr. Truman was immediately released to a then unnamed law firm.  His whereabouts after that time are unknown for the next two years.

The studio suffered a serious shakeup of leadership with the loss of their biggest star.  Timeslots for the Truman Show broadcast reruns, and specials on the most memorable moments of the show.  Initially, the dramatic ending was downplayed.  Six months later, Christof retired from his position as chief creative director.  

Under new creative direction, a movie documentary was put together by the studio with previously unseen footage, and interviews with cast and crew of the show.  The film made the case that Truman's actions were heroic, and that the deception surrounding his life was morally suspect, but that no laws had been broken.

Meanwhile, the law firm responsible for Mr. Truman's release from police custody filed suit against the director, the studio, the show distributor, broadcast companies, and every sponsor that ever appeared on the show.  After 2 years of court appearances, and negotiations, they settled the case for an undisclosed sum rumored to be in the billions.

The Truman Show returned to the air some years later with a number of spinoff shows revolving around other characters from the show, and continuing secondary story lines.  These shows were largely short-lived, with the exception of "Truman University Beach" that ran for eight seasons with scantily clad starlets and shallow plot lines.

Mr. Truman himself never appeared on the public scene again.  Investigations suggest that he lives in a variety of European estates, under assumed aliases, and surrounded by doctors under treatment for mental health disorders and periodic drug abuse.
