I… don’t think this is going to work.
Galaxy Quest is going from a fictional series to an actual TV series.
Paramount+ is teaming with its studio counterpart, Paramount Television Studios, for a live-action adaptation of the 1999 cult favorite sci-fi spoof. Sources say the project is in the early development stages and a search is underway for a writer to pair with Mark Johnson, the Breaking Bad alum who exec produced the film and is returning for the scripted update. Johnson and his Gran Via Productions banner are the only execs currently attached to the project.
Maybe if it’s set in the same universe — or maybe not then, either. GALAXY QUEST was lightning in a bottle: a Star Trek parody that was so loved by Star Trek fans that we have made it an honorary member of the franchise. I don’t know how you could sustain a TV show without the original cast, and that obviously can’t happen now.
Still, maybe I’m wrong. At any rate: I wish them luck, because they’re going to need it.

PS: Here you go.
By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a mistake.
Color me terribly skeptical.
Yet another role that Alan Rickman slayed. I cannot think of another actor who could bring his gravitas and skill to the role. *waves lighter to phantom ballad of Alan*
