Babylon 5: The Road Home's First Trailer Leaves a Sci-Fi Legend Lost in Time

Although we first learned of plans to bring back Babylon 5 as a live-action reboot back in 2021, while we’re left waiting there’s still new surprises for fans—a return to the classic series, in a new medium, and a glimpse into what could’ve been in the legendary sci-fi series’ story.

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for The Road Home, a brand new Babylon 5 continuation penned by series architect J. Michael Straczynski. Set in the wake of the devastating second Shadow War seen in the show’s fifth season, the movie follows Captain Sheridan (Bruce Boxleitner) as he travels to the Minbari homeworld to witness the opening of a new, tachyon-powered facility—only for an accident to begin displacing him out of time, sending the president of the Interstellar Alliance across a whole multiverse of timelines and realities he has to navigate to find his way back home.
