Co-creator of the cult hit sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf, Rob Grant, has announced that he is currently working on a brand new prequel project, to be called Red Dwarf: Titan.
…
This comes after a legal dispute over the rights to the show was resolved earlier this year, with the show’s co-creators, Grant and Doug Naylor, both being able to continue working separately on Red Dwarf in different media.
…
Shortly after this, Naylor said he thought the show was likely to return to screens at some point, adding that there’s “real interest”.
Naylor said: "Providing the boys are available, which isn’t the easiest thing because they’ve all got these mad schedules, especially Craig [Charles] and Robert [Llewellyn].
“But provided we can get everyone available and they do all want to be available, they want to make more, I think we’ve got a good chance.”
Worth noting that Grant is working on a prequel and Naylor is getting the band back together. As they are now working on different RD projects for different media these aren’t the same thing, so it makes sense that they both aren’t working on the further adventures of the crew at the same time.
Also worth noting that Grant hasn’t said what medium his project will be in, and there’s a possibility that it’ll be a novel (in which case casting isn’t relevant).
