Episode Two - 'Giant UFO in Texas' revisits the mass sighting of the Stephenville, Texas, case with new interviews and perspectives.The episode goes behind the scenes with stories from the Navy pilots who saw mysterious objects apparently tracking their fighter jets. Episode One - 'Secret Pentagon UFO Program' spotlights the behind-the-scenes work that led to the 2017 New York Times story and challenges what we thought we knew about UFOs.'UFOs: Investigating the Unknown' consists of a series of episodes: (Image credit: Leslie Kean) Series of episodes The potential ‘Galaxy Quest’ tv series is very much in the early stage of development at Paramount, so it’s entirely possible it will not go anywhere (again), but we’ll let you know if we hear more.Leslie Kean with Galileo Project leader Avi Loeb, a Harvard University astrophysicist. As to what direction this latest iteration will take (if it actually does make it to the screen) we don’t know. Then in 2021, Georgia Pritchett (‘Veep’, ‘Succession’) revealed she was working on a script for a ‘Galaxy Quest’ series alongside the legendary Simon Pegg, but things went quiet again. In 2017 the idea was revived at Amazon, with Paul Scheer writing, but bringing in a new cast with some guest spots from the old cast, in a sort of ‘Next Generation’ idea, but that also stalled. That, unfortunately, stalled following the untimely death of the great Alan Rickman from pancreatic cancer in 2016.

The closest they got was in 2015 with a sequel series set at Amazon Studios, with the film’s co-writer Robert Gordon, and director, Dean Parisot, involved along with Johnson. The original idea was to do a direct sequel series or film with the original cast.

I say the “latest attempt” as Paramount TV Studios have been trying to bring some form of ‘Galaxy Quest’ back to the screen for years. There are no writers, cast or directors attached at the moment.

This latest attempt at a live-action series adaptation is in the early stages of development at Paramount+ and has the original film’s producer, Mark Johnson (‘Breaking Bad’, ‘Interview with the Vampire’), attached as exec producer.
