Last year, the project was confirmed by the president and CEO of The CW Marco Pedowitz, saying, “It’s very much in active development, I spoke to Straczynski personally when we picked up the pilot. I’m a big fan of Babylon 5, personally, I’ve seen every episode of the series. I’ve known Joe for a long, long time. I’d love to bring that story back in some shape or form, I think it’s perfect for the CW.
Straczynski also offered the following update: “Calling the [reboot] pilot “a damn good script,” he said he was taking the very unusual step of carrying the project and pilot script into the next year, keeping B5 in active development while the dust settles on the [prospective] sale of the CW. Here’s the bottom line: Yesterday, Babylon 5 was in active development at CW and Warner Bros. for Fall 2022. Today, Babylon 5 is in active development at CW and Warner Bros. for Fall 2023. That’s the only difference .
We now have a new update to share with you! Straczynski shared a new Babylon 5 logo on social media recently and teased that some big and exciting news is on the way. He said, “What is this? Why, it’s a nifty new variation of the #Babylon5 logo. It can’t be for reimagining because it’s pending WGA issues, so what could it ‘maybe’ be for? Hmm. Maybe ne We’ll know more in a week. Spread the word: something ‘wonderful’ is on its way.”
Well, it will be really interesting to see what that turns out to be! As a fan of this series, I’m thrilled! It must be some kind of Babylon 5 news! We’ll just have to wait and see.
What is this? Why, it’s a stylish new variation on the #Babylon5 logo. It can’t be for reimagining because it’s on hold pending WGA issues, so what could it *maybe* be for? Hmm. Maybe we’ll know more in a week from today.
