For those of you too young to remember, V was a television series from the 1980's that aired on NBC. It was about an alien invasion of the planet Earth, and it seriously rocked! The aliens came to Earth pretending to be friendly, but while they had everyone on the planet convinced that they were nice they were secretly plotting to steal all of our resources and to kill us all off. That is, until a small group of people found out the truth and began a resistence movement against the evil alien bastards.
Now, 20 years later, the show is coming back.
ABC has given a pilot order to V, a re-imagining of the 1980s miniseries about an alien invasion, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Written on spec by The 4400 co-creator/executive producer Scott Peters, the new V will center on a female Homeland Security agent.
Peters is executive-producing the pilot with HDFilms principal Jason Hall.
If done right, this show could be a solid replacement for sci-fi fans who will desperately be looking for something new to watch once Battlestar Galactica ends this summer. A good alien invasion show may just be the thing to fit that vacant spot nicely. I personally hope they go with a dark series in which humanity has to fight for its survival and the aliens and totally evil bad guys. But that's just me.
Either way, I'm just excited that V is coming back. I loved that show as a kid and am really looking forward to how a modern remake treats the show.
