When we think of great sci-fi series, titles like Starship Enterprise and Battlestar Galactica come to mind first. Much less well known is Spacecenter Babylon 5, which was broadcast from 1993 to 1998. However, for many sci-fi fans, the series is among the best representatives of the genre.
There have been repeated attempts to bring Babylon 5 back over the past few years. Last year we reported on a reboot that was to be created for the US broadcaster The CW. Now everything is completely different: Babylon 5 returns, but in form of an animated film.

Now we can be excited whether Babylon 5 will make the big comeback. If the new film is well received by fans and can introduce a new generation to the sci-fi franchise, there may be more offshoots from Spacecenter in the future. Straczynski is clearly motivated to keep expanding the universe.
