Twenty years after the NBC miniseries V and V: The Final Battle aired, Warner Bros. and NBC are reviving the lizard people. According to Variety, a script has been ordered for a three-hour telepic, dubbed V: The Second Generation.  It's set 20 years after the original, and depicts the further struggles of the human race versus the visitors who now control most of Earth.

While the original series spawned soundtracks, comic books, trading cards, action figures, and even a game for the defunct Commodore 64, the recent interest in the property has thus far brought only DVDs: V: The Original Miniseries was released back in July 2001 and the sequel, V: The Final Battle, was released in August 2002.

Warner Bros. and NBC aren't the only ones to capitalize on a remake of an 80s favorite. The Sci Fi Channel began production on a new Battlestar Galactica series in March (see 'Sci Fi Channel to do Battlestar Galactica')
