Space: 2099 is poised for a comeback.

View attachment 58779


ITV Studios America and HDFILMS announced plans for a reimagining of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's famed franchise of the 1970s, then called Space: 1999. The news comes months after Fox and producer Seth MacFarlane announced they would be reviving Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey, a 1980s miniseries from Carl Sagan.



"Science fiction is a powerful format capable of visualizing the human condition in thought-provoking ways," said HDFilms president Jace Hall, who will spearhead the effort and serve as an executive producer. The project is in the development phase and has yet to be shopped to networks.


"While we are indeed re-imagining the franchise and bringing something new and relevant to today’s audiences," continued Hall, who recently revived V at ABC, "I feel strongly that some of the overall tones set by the original Space: 1999 television show represent an exciting platform to explore possibilities.”


Added ITV Studios International's managing director Paul Buccieri: “After more than 35 years, we are thrilled to be developing a new vision of our much beloved franchise for audiences worldwide. Historically, the Space: 1999 brand has entertained and fascinated millions of people."
 
I liked that series. Interesting storyline and I suppose given that, there is no end to the episode ideas. Let's see what's done with it.
 
One of my favorite shows as a kid! Good to see some space based stuff.... guess that is the closest we will get for awhile.
 
loved Space 1999 so I hope it does well and is good. as for Blake's 7, maybe, It would depend on how good the scripts were, plus maybe a better ultimate ending. Hate to invest all that time watching a series and loving it and then having to deal with an ending that s**ked.
 
Another fan here of both Space 1999 and Blake's 7.
I remember having a model of the Eagle...which came to an unfortunate end.:kilroy::icon_lol:
