The
Galaxy Quest TV series is headed to Amazon Studios, according to
Entertainment Weekly, which will partner with Paramount. Paramount had been developing the series on its own (see “
’Galaxy Quest’ TV Show in the Works”). Dean Parisot, who directed the film and had been attached to the series in an unspecified role, is now attached to direct and executive produce. And the script by Robert Gordon, who co-wrote the film, is still in play.
So the TV show based on a cult sci-fi movie about a cult sci-fi TV show moves ahead, although development is still in an early stage.
IDW has the comics license; in July, it released the graphic novel collection of its latest story arc: Galaxy Quest: Journey Continues.
