Cult 1980s sci-fi show V is set to return to the small screen.

The iconic show, about alien lizards taking over Earth, has been picked up by American network ABC, who will finance the project, and will reportedly hit screens in the U.S. as early as next year.

Sci-fi screenwriter Scott Peters will pen and executive produce the new spin on the original series.

The show originally aired to huge viewing figures from 1984 to 1985.



DAMN!! another remake of a great tv show.. I really hope they do it right!

The thing that pisses me off is that Kenneth Johnson (the original creator) has had in the works a remake himself but COULDN'T get anyone to pick it up! Now that they're going to do this it must be a REAL slap in the face.

Wow, I was a HUGE fan of V when it first came out in the 1980s, this sounds really promising....

I read that they are somehow going to replace the... I don't know the word for it.. back theme? from the holocaust to post 9/11.

So they are going to change the theme from humans being locked up in concentration camps and finally processed as food to.....what? The evil aliens are suddenly going to be doing all of this because of some religious text?

Quite ironic that the humans, in order to get their freedom, resorted to quite a few terrorist tactics. One, if I'm not mistaken was some kind of chemical warfare against the aliens. Oh Saddam, we had you wrong all along. LOL. Wink
