 Per the Sci-Fi Network’s panel at the TCA press tour… “Sci-Fi.com has ordered a 10-part webisode series based on the multi-award-winning “Farscape” the fan and critical darling that has been widely recognized as one of the greatest sci-fi series in television history. Executive-produced by Brian Henson and Robert Halmi, Jr., and produced by The Jim Henson Company, in association with RHI Entertainment, the series will revive and expand the beloved “Farscape” universe.” Filed under: TV and News and TV Dramas and New Media and External Entertainment and External TV and TCA Press Tour Comments:

Please tell “Sci-FI”.
I will watch every episode.
I will buy the stuff they advertise.
I will buy the DVDs when they come out.
Webisodes ?
Webisodes ?
How about 23 Episodes of a new season ?
What else are you going to replace Stargate with ?
Don’t trust Skiffy. They are so incompetent they can mangle a wet dream. This will be nothing but product placement.
And so what? If Brian and DK and Rockne and Ricky are behind it . . . I’ll still be there.
I could weep for joy at the possibility of seeing more Farscape. I will watch this no matter what!
to use John Carpenter formulation:
Please tell “Sci-FI”.
I will watch every episode. 8if available also here in Germany)
I will buy the stuff they advertise. (the same, if necessary and to get here…)
I will buy the DVDs when they come out. (A big YES!!!!)
And yep, why not 23 or 40 or … episodes (o.k., I know I am getting nuts now, but PLEASE do them!)
Wow this is Awesome would it pick up where peacekeeper wars left off? Or be completely different?
Farscape only as webisodes and flash gordon as a full series??!!?? come on!
i’m with peacekeeper, Adam Souza and terrestrial , why not just make a complete new series?
It’s killing me not knowing what this series is going to be about or who is even going to be in it. John, Little D, Crais and Talyn…the possibilities are endless and, for once, I don’t know what I want. I love John Crichton but would it be the same to watch him kick Scarran butt with a wife and toddler in tow? And what if I don’t feel the same draw towards whomever they chose to play a grown up Little D if that be the case for the new series, which is what “new generation” comment sorta hints at to me. Aw frell it. Who am I kidding? I’d pay 20 bucks an episode just to see Farscape again.
If it doesn’t have the main characters, it’s not Farscape AFAIC. Farscape was about John Crichton and his adventures in a far part of the universe.
Anything else and it’s just Skiffy trying to milk the fans.
Anyway that’s my 3¢ worth.
I’ll watch. Anything Farscape will always get my attention. I’ll always watch.
But I’m with Joe. If it doesn’t have the main characters - and John Crichton in particular - then it’s not really Farscape. It’s a disappointment…
Well as long as it follows some of the characters we know it probably won’t be to bad, but I would prefer to know what happens to John. Though I’ll give anything farscape a chance.
I’d also prefer a full season (or more), but maybe this will clue ppl in that fans are still interested and will watch the show. Who knows the show died in 03′, came back for PK wars in 04′ and now in 07′ it’s back as a web. If fans are still fighting hard enough to get something you’d think people would realize it’s still popular.
Farscape was always an expensive series to produce. In the end, it never had enough viewers (numbers, not passion) to justify continued production. It’s just business, that’s all.
And since these will be webisodes, there’s no way any of the big names from the series will be involved. Look for stories that take place within the same Universe, with maybe a couple of references to the crew of the Moya.
I truly hope this is not just a rumor !!!
What fresh frelling form of torture is this ..?
Dear Santa
I just want some more Farscape….I’ve been really good this year and don’t forget Santa , I have access to Winona and I know where you live.
I hope that SciFi will develop further Farscape … becouse this series is really SciFi … and i expect SciFi from this channel …
Omg that’s the best news I’ve heard all year!
I would love to see all the old crew again, but if that’s not possible then it would be great to explore a new perspective of the Farscape world (although hints and mentions of how Aeryn and John etc are getting on would be compulsory) I just want Farscape to come back so that it can fulfull the potential that we all know it has.
As long as it’s Farscape I am totally in and watching it religiously
Yes I too will watch the show, You would think SCI-FI would get the picture and just put the show back on the air. Look how many people watched Stargate when Ben and Cluad came to the show. It was the only reason I watched Stargate in the end. If they do a good job with these, Support it and let SCI-FI know. This may get our beloved show back.
Ooh, yes please! That would be so great! I’ve been longing for more farscape for so long
please tell me this is actually happening and is not just a rumour…
I think I’d prefer a whole new season, but hey, we make do with what we have
how can we spread the word so that all the farscape fans can tell the jim henson company how badly we want it!
Must have…must watch…farscape!
Farcape would not be Farscape without John and Aeryn. But, as it has been said, any Farscape is better than no Farscape. I, too watched SG-1 to see Ben and Claudia - they so totally rock!
John and Aeryn are musts without question, but where would John be without KaDargo kicking the Hezmanna out of everyone.
I say bring KaDargo back from the dead
I agree,bring D\’argo back
Um, D’Argo was a frelling great character - but his death was so noble and poignant that it’d be a huge mistake to resurrect him. Let sleeping Luxans lie.
Actually Farscape is the best scifi show, and if they do revive the show it would be total heaven.
However I think D’argo should be revived (how it happend would be a good start off point), he’s too good of a side kick to be kicked off.
Anywho I’m just glad they have (the powers to be) decided to listen to the ever growing fan base for a change, instead of the bean counters this time.
Bad entertainment = cheap
good entertainment = cost
Excellent entertainment =is worth its price in gold!
Doxxy!
I think that the show should focus on the new D’argo (i.e. D’argo sun-crighton), if they can’t have Aeryn and Joh then I want to see how their kids got on…
But they could always ressurect D’argo, i mean, how many other characters have been ressurected in this show
I will watch every Episode
I will encode them from hd-tv to a 4 episode disc
I will post them in the Usenet communities
I will laught at the “complete series rip-off prices”
Please, please, please, bring it back–in some way, shape or form!!! And when is this glorious event to begin??? I’ve been hearing about it for quite some time now; but, have yet to see a date set anywhere. And yes, Ben & Claudia are an absolute must!!! I was always a SG-1 fan; but, I must admit, it tickled me silly to see them brought on the show.
I think that the webisodes are not an bad idea.However, my opinion is that they should include the original character because FARSCAPE is all about them.The show wont be the same without those characters and the energy they bring into it.I love that series and i keep watching it over and over again and im going to watch the webisodes and i hope they will be more FARSCEPE on TV.
