Yesterday, Sci-Fi Channel announced that they’ll be producing 10 webisodes of Farscape. No stars are attached but hopes are high it could leave to a revival of the popular series. Among Sci-Fi’s other announcements is a second Battlestar Galactica webisode arc, a six-hour miniseries based on The Odyssey and co-created by Farscape and Stargate SG-1 actor Ben Browder, and of course Battlestar Galactica: Razor, which is due on November 24th.

Bodie Olmos (Hotdog) talks about how tough it is to be a recurring character.
Executive producer Ron Moore doesn’t seem to be focusing on that, though, and is talking about the upcoming movie.
As for future movies of this reimagining? Well, you’d best be starting to bribe Glen Larson (producer of the original) right now, because he’s not so enthused….
