Fans of Commander Peter Quincy Taggart and the crew of the NSEA Protector rejoice: according to a report in Variety, Paramount has plans to try to bring a TV series based on the cult hit film Galaxy Quest to the small screen.
Variety says that the effort includes Galaxy Quest co-writer Robert Gordon and director Dean Parisot, along with the film’s executive producers Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein (who have most recently worked on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul).
Released in 1999, Galaxy Quest is a pastiche of science fiction television, telling the tale of the fictional eponymous TV show Galaxy Quest, which when the movie opens has been off the air for years. The show’s actors continue to perform on the convention circuit and the show has its own gaggle of devoted ear-wearing (and headpiece-wearing) cosplaying fans. The action kicks off when the show’s former leads are sort-of-kidnapped by actual for-real aliens, who have been watching TV transmissions of Galaxy Quest echoing through space and who believe the show to be actual-for real "historical documents"—and who, in the grand tradition of Seven Samurai and Three Amigos, need the help of some actual for-real heroes to save them from actual for-real bad guys.
