So far there has been no announcement on casting, but imagine there would be some of the originals in guest appearences especially the first few episodes of season 1.

The only new annoucement is the writers room convenes next month.

Further to the above it is is expected the writing, production etc will take about 2 years so it looks like early 2037 before we see season 1.

MGM+ has ordered an 8 episode season of The Magnificent Seven - loosely based on the Film(s).

Quote:

After a peaceful Quaker village is massacred by mercenaries working for a greedy and ruthless land baron trying to force them off the land he covets, seven gifted but flawed mercenaries are hired by the community to protect them from the land baron’s hired guns. But as the team embeds itself in the community, preparing to defend them against overwhelming odds, they are all forced to grapple with an essential question: is the use of violence acceptable to defend a people whose faith is based on non-violence?

The last edition of Production Weekly listed a show called Manifest: Arrivals.

This is believed to be a spin-off from the original Manifest that Netflix took over the production of.

Re: TV Show Renewals & Cancellations

There may, just possibly, be a Blake's 7 reboot. Ooh, I do hope so. Loved that. I joined the Eclectic team at the Redemption convention, affectionately extracting the michael out of it (there may have been booze involved...).

Picture:

"Travis, in one of Dayna's pink leather outfits, offers a posy to Tarrant on one knee. Avon comes in, and..."

(this is only funny if you've watched the very last episode)

...I pick up the thread: "Is it true?! Have you...betrayed me?!"

Cue hysterical laughter - intensifying when the instigator of this atrocity points out that it isn't clear who Avon's talking to! We had both of them turning to him and protesting, "No!"

Oh, we had such fun - whilst greatly respecting the show as all true SF fans do. Just like Lower Decks and Robot Chicken; both are made with love and attention to detail in their parody. Yes, the B7 sets wobbled. Yes, the F/X weren't great (not Martin Bower's fault, they kept lighting his superb models wrongly). But the stories, oh, they were mostly terrific. I for one would welcome a return.

Re: TV Show Renewals & Cancellations

The rights move around. Paul Darrow himself owned them at one point. The problem is never whether anyone wants to re-boot, or sequel, B7. The problem is finding a distributor. The BBC has shown zero interest in the past, which is unsurprising as it showed zero interest when they were actually making it, tossing it an early-evening filler budget and letting the crew get on with it until the main Liberator control room set was literally falling apart (for which I’m convinced the script for Terminal was a deliberate metaphor).

In fact it seems the only time anyone high-up at the BBC ever watched it was when Bill Cotton, BBC1’s controller at the time, caught Terminal (which was supposed to be the series finale) when broadcast, realised how good it all was, and recommissioned it on the spot - even going so far as to phone TV Centre to instruct them to have the continuity announcer assure viewers Blake’s Seven would be back for a new series next year, over the closing credits.

If it’s pitched well, Netflix, Apple and Prime TV all have a reasonably strong interest in UK-made content and the new rights owner might get a nibble from one of them. Sadly, I think the BBC’s present management wouldn’t know a good thing if it slapped them in the face with a wet fish. And even if they did go for it, they’d insist on making Blake, Avon and Jenna into a non-binary throuple while Servalan’s motivation for subjugating the galaxy is their misgendering at a long-forgotten university sit-in.

TBH, I simply do not think this (B7) will ever happen, despite that article, I guess we'll see.

Teaser trailer

Quote:

Set in the 2010s, season five “picks up in the years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist,”. “Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home.”

Re: TV Show Snippets & General Information

Oh God no, leave the X Files alone. The last couple of series when they brought it back were pretty bad. It worked back in the 90s but just doesn't fit in today's world.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 23:17.
