This one isn't so much news as it is actor commentary encouraging us to never give up.

Never surrender!

Not just on the idea of revisiting what is widely regarded as a sci-fi classic but also the original cast.

When speaking with ScreenRant about Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse, Galaxy Quest actor Missi Pyle spoke about the possibility of revival.

I remember when we made the film. It was kind of a sleeper movie, I think. Obviously, there's that moment when all of a sudden Sigourney Weaver's top is sort of down a little bit, they didn't really know what movie they had, it was mainly PG-13 and then they wanted to make it PG, they cut out a bunch of stuff. Then it really wasn't the kids movie that they were looking to make. And then it became this kind of solid hit and it has such great legs, people just love this movie.

I ran into Dean Parisot a few years after we made it and he's like, 'I already told the story we needed to tell.' And then 10 years later, I heard something maybe was going to happen and then they begin to make a TV show and I've been reached out to a few times. Then with Alan Rickman passing, I think the idea of doing it with the same cast is over, but I know that there's another script out there. I don't know what's going to happen, could be a series. I wouldn't be surprised, and I say why not? It was such a lightning in a bottle, I have to say, with that group of people.

In January it leaked that Simon Pegg was in talks about developing a TV show and he wasn't willing to say much but he didn't rule out the possibility of new cast.

The original Galaxy Quest is available to stream now on Stan.
