Confirmed: Farscape Miniseries on the Way!
The rumors are true...
November 14, 2003 - As IGN FilmForce reported back in July, a new Farscape project is finally on its way.  While an official announcement was postponed earlier this week, IGN FilmForce has learned that the production office in Australia has re-opened and work has begun on a new project.

The Henson company would not comment on the information but a source close to the production has confirmed that the new project will be a miniseries, not a new season as originally hoped for by the fans.  While no plot details are available, sources have also confirmed that the new project will be independent from the Sci-Fi Channel, the network that broadcast the series.  No information is currently available about just where the new miniseries will be appearing or when.

Obviously, this is good news for the fans that have fought so hard to bring the series back but there may be cause for guarded optimism.  The miniseries is currently seen as a standalone project with no new episode commitment attached, so nothing is guaranteed beyond this project.  More information as it becomes available right here at IGNFF.

Hmm I have not seen this on the Savefarscape.com site.

I will have to look into this in more detail. Thanks for the heads up.

While I think they are correct, until I hear this from the people at Henson I am going to take a wait and see attitude.  I've been burned way too many times on this subject.  This does sound very good for Farscape though.

There was supposed to be a press conference held by The Henson Company yesterday about the future of Farscape, but it was postponed indefinitely, according to this.  Either the project's off or there's something else going on.

Amen to that!  Glad they got Farscape back, but I really want more Firefly.  If it is indepenent of Sci-Fi network, maybe we could eventually get a Battlestar that is independent of those guys too.  I'd love to see an evening of Battlestar and then Firefly.

Savefarscape.com is now free to confirm that the rumors swirling have their basis in fact. Farscape, cancelled last year by the SCI FI Channel, will return as a 4 hour mini-series. While we can't currently name the source of this information, please know that we wouldn't post this news without a trustworthy and solid source. Also, please note that the Jim Henson Company has made no official announcement as of yet.


 

I have never actually seen Farscape.  I just thought that there were enough Farscape fans here that posting it was worthwhile.

As much as I want to make some popcorn and wait impatiently for the new series I have my doubts that it will come anytime soon. The same financial problems still exist and I have heard nothing that states these issues have been addressed. The fact the Henson productions have not openly signed on yet feeds my suspicions.

I sincerely hope that I am pleasantly surprised but I won't hold my breath.
