One of the lynchpins of 90s science fiction television is coming back! J. Michael Straczynski, creator “Babylon 5,” is bringing a new version of the series to The CW.
This from-the-ground-up reboot will be helmed by JMS, and will pull some inspiration from the original series. Earthforce Officer John Sheridan (Bruce Boxleitner) will still lead the story, which will still take place on the neutral outpost.
The Hollywood Reporter had the scoop, and we’ll let you know as this story progresses.

Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) got her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine as a teenager. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (News Editor), Nerdbot (as Editor-In-Chief), and now [Bad]Influencers, where she is Editor-in-Chief. Over the past 15 years, she’s built a well-known reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band. She also produces award-winning immersive events, including Wasteland Weekend and Neotropolis.
