There are rumors that a new V mini-series is on the horizon.

The first tip came from an anonymous scooper who told us to check out Ilana's V website, a fansite devoted to tracking the stars of the NBC sci-fi mini-series from the 1980s. The webmaster has been in contact with the show's cast members including Jane Badler, who played the role of lizard lady Diana on the show. According to an email sent by the actress to the website in April, "NBC and Warners have closed a deal to do another V. Now all we need is a great script from Kenny [Johnson] that they approve."

It's been almost 20 years since the broadcast of the two V mini-series. The show was created by Ken Johnson (THE INCREDIBLE HULK) and followed the invasion of Earth by a reptilian alien race. A group of human resistance fighters eventually proved to the world that the aliens were not friends of humanity and drove them off the planet. An ongoing series eventually followed but it was soon cancelled.
