Airing in the US on November 3rd is the remake of the 1980s sci fi miniseries V, by writers from The 4400 and The X Files.
Look out for Lost’s Elizabeth Mitchell Ipictured) as FBI counter terrorism agent Erica Evans, and Scott Wolf has a TV presenter.
Nine has this title. Don’t suppose we can see it in November, please?
Update: Turns out ABC will only air 4 eps in November with the rest to follow after the Winter Olympics.

V on nine?? no way! and fast tracked just aint going to happen is it, from past experience.
@nick….why do u wish channel7?? so glad nine got it!
this looks good!
I Wish channel 7 had got this. I think all big budget serial US dramas should go to Channel 7 immediately, regardless of contracts. At least it will premiere big, get the buzz going, and even when it dies down be shown in a later slot and continue to be shown
why wouldn’t they fast-track it to GO!, if vampire diaries does well i think they could put eastwick and V on GO all fast-tracked, then it would be a seriously impressive digital channel.
not a chance. This wont see the light of day on FTA – maybe it might make it to Go – eventually.
Anyway, by all reports, there’s something up with the production of the series (it’s “taking a break” or something?) – I think they’ll be lucky if they make a season from it……
What about the SciFi channel?
It’d be foolish for Nine to fast track this (they should wait till the new year) and show it on their own network. Putting it (and also Smallville, if they can get the rights back after selling it to Ten) on GO would be the wiser move.
Dare say most of us who want to see this in November, will see this in November, regardless of Nine.
it will be on GO!
I think you answered that question yourself David. You said “Nine has this title”. There’s your answer. Hopefully they put it on GO! so i can still avoid watching anything on Nine.
I haven’t seen any V before but this looks great
Nine are picking up ‘V’? That’s the worst news I’ve heard in awhile. No doubt they’ll show it, and if they don’t get many viewers after the first episode, they’ll cut it, like they’ve done with all their other quality shows, in favour of Two and a Half Men and whatever else they show on that awful channel.
looks very very good. can not wait. do we think it will air on GO? or is it too good for that?
common david do you really think nine will respect a slightly off centre audience by fasttracking this? no i’m sure it will sit on the shelf till next, by which time a vast majority of its audience will have (wrongly and illegally) sourced it from other places. 9 will then screen 2 eps that will consequently rate poorly and then they will wait a good 6-12 months before burying it on GO!
pity it looks like a good show-guess i’ll wait till the DVDs are released…
They won’t fast track a sci fi program will they?
And even if they do, will it stay in the same time slot for more than a week?
Hopefully this will play over summer on Nine or directly to GO. It won’t do well during ratings, ala Eleventh Hour, Fringe, and Moonlight. Athough, this is neither a cop or vampire series, and with FlashForward next week, we can see what happens.
Would love to see it in November but why would they when ratings end in November. Would be on for 3 weeks then off again until Feb so no doubt they will hold on until Feb.
Probably November 2010 or 2011 David
is this going to be on Go!
If Jane Badler doesn’t at least make a cameo then I’m not watching!!!
I hope the new version doesn’t take itself too seriously though – the original was great because it was so over the top…will be interesting to see how this one fares.
The likely hood of Nine showing this (on it’s main channel) in Nov is 0% IMO, they should just put it on GO! and be done with it as everyone here knows it willl end up there sooner rather than later!
