Hasn’t been mentioned in the thread yet but the previously announced B5 reboot isn’t dead yet.

The CW, which is where it would have been, was sold to Nexstar, and the fallout from that hasn’t yet settled. JMS remains cautiously optimistic publicly, but it’s not really looking good. But no definite word either way yet.

That said, the B5 reboot being canceled before filming even begins because of financial/ownership issues with the TV network would possibly be the most B5 thing ever.

Nah, shows getting canceled before any work is done is the most normal thing ever, for any franchise. The most B5 thing would be if they had it 80% finished before it got canned.
