'Babylon 5' Could Return to TV As A New Series

[Brian Damage]

Walter Koenig has suggested that Babylon 5 could return in some form.

The actor told fans at a recent Las Vegas Star Trek convention that series creator J Michael Straczynski is in talks to revive the show.

"He told me that he is in negotiations to re-acquire the rights to Babylon 5 and it looks pretty good," said Koenig, who played Bester on the sci-fi drama.

Koenig added that it is currently unclear what form the new Babylon 5 will take.

"It could be a new series or it could be a feature film, but [Straczynski] was quite animated about it," he said. "He seemed very excited.

"Warner Brothers is dealing with him in good faith. So you might see another Babylon 5 in the not too distant future."

Babylon 5 originally aired on now-defunct network PTEN from 1994 to 1997 and on TNT for a final fifth season in 1998. The series also spawned six television films and short-lived spinoff series Crusade.
