Sci Fi TV News of Note:
Currently, the only Star Trek projects that are in the works at Paramount+ are Seasons 3 and 4 of Strange New Worlds as well as the upcoming Starfleet Academy. But Kate Mulgrew has given hope that Admiral Janeway could be making a return in the near future. After that character’s appearance in Star Trek: Picard, there have been talks of a new series featuring Janeway that would take place after the events of that series and Prodigy. When asked about it at the official Star Trek Cruise, Mulgrew made the following statement: “There is a conversation happening. It is being pursued.” That, of course, is no firm commitment, and Paramount+ seems to be cutting back on its Trek entries as the streaming services try to keep costs down. But if fans were to make a Call to Action for the Janeway series, perhaps that could nudge the streamer toward giving the show a greenlight.
A television series adaptation of Iain M. Banks novel Consider Phlebas is in the works at Amazon MGM Studios: Following is the description of the project from Deadline:
In Consider Phlebas, while war rages between the utopian Culture and the Idiran Empire, a Culture Ship AI “Mind” takes refuge on a forbidden planet. Both Horza, a shape-shifting mercenary working for the Idirans, and Balveda, a “Special Circumstances” Culture agent, have been tasked with retrieving it to tip the balance in a galaxy-spanning conflict. Consider Phlebas pits sentience against AI in an epic and bloody quest across the cosmos.
This is the first entry in Banks’ 10-book Culture series and Charles Yu (Westworld) will be onboard as writer and executive producer. The assumption at this point is that the series will stream on Prime Video.
In renewal announcements, Syfy has given a third season nod to its star-spanning series The Ark, and production has begun on that.
