The Promised Land will see the return of Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Craig Charles (Lister), Danny John-Jules (Cat), Robert Llewellyn (Kryten) and Norman Lovett (Holly), while guest stars include Ray Fearon (Fleabag) are Tom Bennett (Rocketman), Mandeep Dhillon (Afterlife), Lucy Pearman (Mister Winner) and Al Roberts (Stath Lets Flats). Here’s the official synopsis…
Three million years ago… David Lister, a vending machine repairman, was sentenced to eighteen months in suspended animation for smuggling his pregnant cat aboard the mining ship Red Dwarf. While Lister remained in stasis, a radiation leak killed the rest of the crew. Safely sealed in the hold, the cats evolved into humanoid form. The cats now roam deep space in a fleet of their own…
The special will see the posse meet three cat clerics (Tom Bennett, Mandeep Dhillon, Lucy Pearman) who worship Lister as their God. Lister vows to help them as they’re being hunted by Rodon, the ruthless feral cat leader (Ray Fearon) who has vowed to wipe out all cats who worship anyone but him.
As yet there’s no word on a specific air date for Red Dwarf: The Promised Land, but will will air on Dave at some point this year.
