Sigourney Weaver Says Galaxy Quest TV Series Is Still Happening It’s now been 21 years since Galaxy Quest came out, and we’ve still yet to get any kind of follow-up. To be fair to the creators, though, a revival was in the works last decade before the late, great Alan Rickman passed away. Seeing as his turn as Alexander Dane AKA Dr. Lazarus was such a key reason for the original movie’s success, the project was halted out of respect for him. But every now and then, we’re told that there’s still a chance that a sequel, probably in the form of a TV series, could happen.
