Galaxy Quest has landed at Paramount+, which is developing a series adaptation of the 1999 film, our sister site Variety reports. The movie starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Justin Long, Tony Shalhoub and Enrico Colantoni, among others.

Paramount+ is the most recent streaming service to attempt to bring the cult film to TV. Amazon Studios tried to turn the movie into a series with the original cast in 2015, but Rickman’s death halted the project. It was then revived in August 2017 with writer and comedian Paul Scheer (The League) coming on board to pen the script, but it, ultimately, did not move forward.
