Yes, you read that right. Galaxy Quest will be a TV series. That's a little bit crazy, isn't it?
NewsWe may never have gotten Galaxy Quest 2, but we're getting more Galaxy Quest, and that's kind of cool. There's a Galaxy Quest TV series in the works at Paramount, and with Robert Gordon (who wrote the film) executive producing (along with Dean Parisot and Mark Johnson), it might not be a reboot or something similarly silly. I mean, seriously, could you even imagine the words "Galaxy Quest reboot" looking more ridiculous next to each other?
The original film dealt with an alien race who believed that Galaxy Quest (think classic Star Trek) was the real deal, and so recruited the cast to do some heroic things for them. Hilarity, and a fair amount of loving jokes directed at Star Trek, ensued.
So, here's the big question. What the heck would a Galaxy Quest TV series be about? Would it be a straight up version of the Galaxy Quest TV series we saw in the film? Could they go the extra mile and make it Galaxy Quest: The Next Generation? I'll be a little disappointed if this is just a straight-up continuation of the show's story, here. Maybe this one will take on the subject of unnecessarily convoluted reboots via wormhole or something.
