Babylon 5 reboot?!

[Harbingers]

“A “Babylon 5” reboot is in development at The CW, Variety has learned.

Original series creator J. Michael Straczynski is onboard to write the project. He will also executive producer under his Studio JMS banner. Warner Bros. Television, which produced the original series, will produce the reboot.

The new iteration of the sci-fi series is described as a “from-the-ground-up reboot.” In the series, John Sheridan, an Earthforce officer with a mysterious background, is assigned to Babylon 5, a five-mile-long space station in neutral space, a port of call for travelers, smugglers, corporate explorers and alien diplomats at a time of uneasy peace and the constant threat of war. His arrival triggers a destiny beyond anything he could have imagined, as an exploratory Earth company accidentally triggers a conflict with a civilization a million years ahead of us, putting Sheridan and the rest of the B5 crew in the line of fire as the last, best hope for the survival of the human race.”

Hopefully it’s not just a remake, I’d prefer to see it reboot much more akin to Battlestar Galactica. We will see.

I'd love to see it! I remember when the first one rolled out and it was grand!

The original was great. I'm not sure about a reboot, especially on network TV though. Hollywood is very hit or miss with reboots/remakes.
