A new show based on the 1999 cult-classic film Galaxy Quest is currently in development at Paramount+.

The original film was a spoof and parody of Star Trek and its fandom. Paramount+ is currently home to five original Star Trek series.

The original film starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, and Sam Rockwell.

Rickman, who also starred in Harry Potter, passed away in 2016 due to pancreatic cancer.

The proposed TV series was originally being developed with the original cast at Amazon in 2015, before Rickman passed away.

Galaxy Quest was the feature-film debut for both Justin Long and Rainn Wilson.

The new TV series is executive produced by the film’s producer Mark Johnson, per Deadline.

Galaxy Quest grossed over $90 million at the box office and gaining cult-classic status as it received support from many Star Trek actors and fans alike.

Alan Rickman Was 'Frustrated' While Playing Snape in 'Harry Potter'

New details about Alan Rickman‘s career are coming to light after a box of his personal letters were put up for auction.

The late actor, who died of cancer in 2016, kept a letter from Harry Potter producer David Heyman and it’s included in the collection.

In the letter, Heyman thanked Rickman for his work on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second film in the franchise.

“Thank you for making HP2 a success. I know, at times, you are frustrated but please know that you are an integral part of the films. And you are brilliant,” Heyman said.

Rickman wrote a note titled “Inside Snape’s Head” while filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He said, “It is as if [director] David [Yates] has decided that this is not important in the scheme of things i.e. teen audience appeal.”

The collection of memorabilia is worth more than $1.2 million, according to The Independent.
