ABC Green-Lights remake of ‘V: The Series’

[Ian David]

It looks like the pilot for the remake of the 1980’s sci-fi series V must be pretty good because ABC have now green-lit a full series.

According to Variety the series will be a ‘Limited Event’ with some sources reporting that ‘Limited Event’ means the series will comprise only six episodes. However subsequent to those reports The Hollywood Reporter adds that the limited episode run was speculation with the series looking more likely to comprise 13 episodes.

The new series boasts an all-star cast including Lost’s Elizabeth Mitchell (aka Juliet), Joel Gretsch (The 4400 / Minority Report / Push), Scott Wolf (Double Dragon / White Squall / Party of Five), Morena Baccarin (Firefly / Serenity / Stargate SG-1) and lan Tudyk (Firefly).

V: The Series comes from scribe Scott Peters. Peters’ previous work includes such notable series as The 4400, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Outer Limits and Jericho.

1. I don't see how this series can succeed without Marc Singer and Robert Englund

You can't top the Beastmaster and Freddy Kruger!

2. Nice!

I have to admit that the original series scared me silly as a kid, no matter how cheesy it appears now.

5. Well, half the cast of Firefly is in it, so maybe it'll be good...

My usual misgivings about remakes and reboots and re-garbage still apply, until proven wrong...

I remember when new tv shows took elements from other shows and innovated on them. Can our offspring, 20 years from now, say the same thing? Not when everything "new" is a total wreck of a remake...

6. Excellent!

I loved loved loved the V miniseries and the weekly series. This is exciting news, and I only hope they do it right!
