Reboot of classic Blake's 7 space adventure series lands at Syfy
Tweet
Remember that Blake's 7 reboot we heard about a while back? Turns out
it's been picked up by Syfy for further development. If the pilot script
rocks, we could have a new version of the classic British sci-fi series
back on the air within a year or two.
Deadline is reporting that Syfy has locked the project in for a
script-to-series commitment, meaning that if network execs are happy
with the pilot pitch, they'll likely greenlight a 13-episode first
season.
The original BBC series debuted in 1978 and was set 700 years in the
future around a small group of rebels battling against the massive
Terran Federation. it was low-tech, but fans loved it, and the series is
still remembered fondly among sci-fi fans of a certain age.
The pilot will be written by Joe Pokaski ( Heroes) and directed by
Martin Campbell ( Casino Royale). Still no word on exactly how the
reboot will be approached, but looking at the canon, this could
defnitely have a Stargate Universe or Battlestar Galactica edge to it.
What do you think of the prospects for a new version of Blake's 7? Have
you been waiting all these years?

If Sissy has anything to do with it, the program will contain elements
of wrestlers, psychics, and hybrid CGI monsters with Tiffany and
Debbie Gibson.
Oh, and it will be a reality show.

I hate people who use "Math" as an abbreviation for "Mathematics". My
spellchecker even rejects "Math" and wants to change it to "Oath"!!
