Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski is calling on fans for their help in trying to get the series’ reboot made. The CW announced the Babylon 5 reboot in 2021, but that was before the Warner Bros. Discovery merger and the subsequent sale of The CW to Nexstar Media Group. Previously, The CW confirmed that the project is still alive, but its final fate will apparently be decided soon. Yesterday, he tweeted that, “It’s never been my way to ask B5 fans and followers for a solid on behalf of the show. Because I feel it’s my role, and the role of the show, to be in service to you, not the other way around. But tomorrow, for the first time in 22 years, I will ask.”
The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23 pic.twitter.com/eDbz4sKtf5
