Good news for fans of Red Dwarf, as Dave has announced that it has commissioned two new series of the cult sci-fi sitcom, with Red Dwarf XI set to air in 2016, followed by Red Dwarf XII in 2017. Here’s the announcement video…
“Red Dwarf has superb talent attached: writing, directing and acting plus an expert team who absolutely know what they are doing when it comes to delivering a stand-out piece of television,” said Dave commissioning editor Simon Lupton. “It has a universal appeal that manages to touch long-standing fans and recruit new ones. It is fantastic to be collaborating with them again on the next phase of the Red Dwarf adventure.”
“Frustratingly it’s taken until now to get our ducks in a row and all the boys available at the same time. Now they are, we’re all absolutely delighted,” adds co-creator Doug Naylor, who will write and direct the two news series.
British TV channel Dave resurrected Red Dwarf back in 2009 with the three-part Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, which was followed by a six-part series Red Dwarf X in 2012.
