The long-awaited Galaxy Quest TV series that is currently being written by Paul Scheer, has been put on hold.
Speaking to The Wrap, Scheer confirmed the TV adaptation for Amazon is being delayed due to the recent firing of Paramount TV president Amy Powell. However, Scheer is still confident the series will get made and promises it will honor both Star Trek and Star Wars.
The series will be a continuation of the 1999 sci-fi comedy which starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and the late Alan Rickman.
“We want to create this kind of thing that feels like this epic sequel, but a continuation,” Scheer said. “I compared it to what The Force Awakens is to Star Wars. It is continuing a story but bringing in new characters.
