SciFi Channel Brings Back 'Farscape'

Will be a 10-episode Web series

What happens when you can't get "Farscape" back as a full-fledged series? Why not just simply move it to the Web.

Fans who still have dart boards with SciFi Channel executives on it might be ready to take those pictures down as the network has announced it is bringing back its cult favorite "Farscape" as a new Web series.

No word has been announced on when such a project would be released, or how long each episode would be (or who will star), but SciFi Channel officials said they have ordered a 10-part series based on "Farscape" that will be executive produced by Brian Henson and Robert Halmi Jr. Just like the original series, this Web series will be produced by the Jim Henson Co. and RHI Entertainment.

The new "Farscape" Web project is the network's way of expanding its Sci-Fi Pulse video network that it launched last year, which officials says has been the home of more than 34 million streams.

"Farscape" won't be the only program making its way to the Pulse, either.

Also preparing to premiere on the Web network is "SciFi Tech," a companion video series to the network's technology blog that features the latest gadgets. It will be produced by Peacock Productions.

Finally, "Invent This" will be a weekly series that will look for the world's "quirkiest" inventions, and how they tick. It's another series being produced by Peacock Productions, and will also feature some of the "brilliant and eccentric" inventors as well.

SciFi Channel has provided very little detail beyond this news, but SyFy Portal will keep posting more details as it rolls in.
