Paramount TV Studios is developing a new Galaxy Quest TV series based on the 1999 cult sci-fi comedy movie. The project is in early stages of development, executive produced by the film’s producer Mark Johnson via his Gran Via Productions. There is no concept or writer yet. The original idea was to do a continuation of the movie with the same cast, but Alan Rickman's death in 2016 caused a major setback. Multiple other incarnations have been proposed since, including one written by Paul Scheer and one from Simon Pegg and Succession writer Georgia Pritchett. The movie starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell and Enrico Colantoni and introduced Justin Long in his feature debut. It was not an instant boxoffice hit, but quickly achieved a cult status.
