The Walking Dead returned last night from the mid-season break and the heartbreaking ending it left viewers with to huge numbers, pulling in 8.1 million viewers for the main airing, and a total of 10.1 million including the two encore airings, hitting a series high. Perhaps more amazing is that it did this against the Grammy Awards, which were the second most watch Grammys ever on television.

Just a few days ago news broke that a Space: 1999 reboot was in development in the form of Space: 2099…and already executive producer Jace Hall has graciously answered some of our questions about the project! Jace and his company, HDFILMS, have partnered with ITV Studios America on the production, which will update the classic ITV production.

SFS: There have been many grass-roots efforts on updating Space: 1999 over the years, even using the name “Space: 2099”, but this appears to be the
first with buy-in from the studios – why is the time right to bring back this classic show?

Jace: My general belief is that any time is ALWAYS the right time to bring a truly compelling story to audiences. From my perspective, the timing of a new Space: 1999 franchise related project coming into existence has primarily related to ITV being presented with a concept that they could feel strongly enough about to warrant and authorize the effort. Now finally, that time has come and we hope to work closely with them to bring something engaging to audiences!

Wacky crossovers between franchises have existed for many, many years…mostly in the area of fan fiction. But now it seems there could be an official crossover between two major franchises – Doctor Who (in the form of current Doctor Matt Smith, plus Amy and Rory) and Star Trek (in the form of The Next Generation crew). But before you get too excited, it’s not like it will be an episode of either. Instead it will take place as a comic series published by IDW, and apparently with the blessings of both rights holders.

More details are expected to be revealed at Gallifrey One next week.

I’ve been waiting for this for a while…it seems that ITV Studios America and HDFilms have gotten together and are working out details to reboot Space: 1999! It will of course get a contemporary makeover at least with it’s title, to become Space: 2099, but not much else is known yet. I actually think they could keep the design of the Moonbase and Eagles from the original…I always liked those designs. But stay the heck away from the second season budget cuts!

Jace Hall, who recently helmed the reboot of V, is heading up this project. Here is some more information, plus head on over and read the FAQ:
