The GALAXY QUEST TV series in development at Paramount+

It seems so Galaxy Quest TV series could actually happen thanks to Paramount+. There have been attempts to resurrect this franchise for years. He’s been close a few times and Tim Allen he never gave up trying to make it happen.

Now, Paramount Television Studios will be looking to make it happen, and it’s currently in the early stages of development. Mark Johnson is producing the project and at the moment there is no concept or writer yet. We don’t even know if Tim Allen will be involved.

Every attempt to revive the franchise thus far has been an attempt to continue the story of the film with the same characters and actors reprising their roles. It came very close to happening at one point on Amazon, but after Alan Rickmann it died, it fell apart.

Johnson worked on the previous attempt, which included the screenwriter of the film, Robert Gordon and director, Dean Parisot. There was another version written by Paul Scheerand another from Simone Pegg and Succession Writer Georgia Pritchett.

There are no details on whether this new series will follow the events of the film and bring back the original cast, or if it will be an attempt to reboot the story. I hope this new attempt involves the continuation of the film’s story, as that’s the only way I think it will work. Not sure fans would tune in for a reboot. But it might be hard to get all the other actors together for a series after all these years.

Galaxy Quest it also starred Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell, Enrico Colantoni and introduced Justin Long to his first feature film.
