Parece que el proyecto Babylon 5 se retrasa de otoño de 2022 a otoño de 
2023. Estas noticias normalmente son un aviso a navegantes, pero parece 
que el proyecto aún sigue vivo:

B5 CW News

I will be posting a link to this shortly so that other online folks can 
get the news, but wanted to let Patrons here get the word first, even if 
only by a little bit.

Anyone who knows the history of Babylon 5 knows that the path of this 
show has never been easy, and rarely proceeds in a straight line. 
Apparently, that has not changed.

About a month or so ago it was announced that the CW Network, B5’s home 
for the last year while the pilot script was in active development, was 
up for sale. When news of this broke, the immediate question was: will 
this have any effect on B5? Situations like this have a way of upending 
development because new owners usually want to put their imprimatur on 
what programs go forward. Like everyone else, I’d hoped there would be 
no immediate impact, and that progress on the project would continue 
onward unabated.

A few days ago, I heard from inside Warner Bros. that there were a 
number of High Level Conversations taking place with the CW to determine 
how many pilots, and what sort, could be picked up during this 
transition, especially given pre-existing deals and commitments. This 
made sense given the preceding paragraph, but I remained optimistic.

Today, about an hour ago, Deadline Hollywood announced the slate of 
pilot scripts being picked up for production by The CW. Babylon 5 was 
not on that list.

When a pilot script is not picked up to production, 99.999% of the time, 
that’s the end of the road for the project, the script is dead.

However: shortly before that piece was published, I received a call from 
Mark Pedowitz, President of The CW. (I should mention that Mark is a 
great guy and a long-time fan of B5. He worked for Warners when the show 
was first airing, and always made sure we got him copies of the episodes 
before they aired because he didn’t want to wait to see what happened next.)

Calling the pilot “a damned fine script,” he said he was taking the 
highly unusual step of rolling the project and the pilot script into 
next year, keeping B5 in active development while the dust settles on 
the sale of the CW.

Here’s the bottom line:

Yesterday, Babylon 5 was in active development at the CW and Warner 
Bros. for fall 2022.

Today, Babylon 5 is in active development at the CW and Warner Bros. for 
fall 2023.

That is the only difference.

Would it have been wonderful if we’d gotten the green light today? 
Absolutely. Of course. But it seems we will have to wait a little 
longer. What matters is that the project is still very much alive, and 
when the time is appropriate, that window will give B5 fans the 
opportunity to express their passionate support for the series to the 
new owners of the CW.

As noted above: the road to Babylon 5 has never been easy. But the good 
news to come out of today is that the road is still very much intact.

Onward.
