A mysterious new Babylon 5 project is coming sooner than you think

J. Michael Straczynski has revealed exactly when we're getting new
Babylon 5 content.

The last, best hope for a '90s sci-fi reboot is coming. However,
before the new Babylon 5 reimagining hits The CW, another, much more
mysterious Babylon 5 project is poised for released. Here's what
creator J. Michael Straczynski has revealed about the two upcoming
Babylon 5 projects.

There are two new Babylon 5 projects

We've known for a while that The CW is developing a Babylon 5 reboot,
but a recent tweet from prolific writer and sci-fi/comic book
impresario Straczynski has clued us into a second project inspired by
the beloved sci-fi TV show.

"B5 Project 1 is the reboot/reimagining for CW, which is awaiting a
production order," tweeted Straczynski on September 4. "Project 2 is
the one we've been doing in secret with some of the cast. Until
there's an official announcement, all of us are sworn to secrecy and
can't tell you what it is or even what medium it's in (film/audio/
video/game/print/semaphore), I can only tell you that it's done and
has a '23 release date." Interesting...

Babylon 5 reboot cast & release date

We do not yet know when The CW's Babylon 5 reboot will air, but the
secret Babylon 5 project will be released around the time of next
year's San Diego Comic-Con, which usually falls in July. In fact,
Straczynski confirmed that a presentation for the new Babylon 5
project will happen at SDCC 2023. As he said on Twitter:

    "The agonizing part is that, even though it's finished, the
    project won't be debuted until a big presentation at next year's
    San Diego Comic Con, after which it will be made available."

Now that we've established some version of a new Babylon 5 will be
released into the world in July 2023, who will participate?
Straczynski confirmed that "all of the main B5 cast members still
around participated." This seemingly confirms:

  * Bruce Boxleitner
  * Claudia Christian
  * Bill Mumy
  * Tracy Scoggins
  * Patricia Tallman
  * Peter Jurasik
  * Andrea Thompson

Interestingly, as of now, there's no way of knowing if all of these
actors are playing versions of their previous Babylon 5 characters,
or if they will be inhabiting different characters. In other words,
Straczynski confirmed the return of Bruce Boxleitner, but we don't
yet know if that means the return of John Sheridan. It probably does,
but just sayin'!

Either way, longtime fans of the cult classic show can rest easy
knowing that this specific project will capture the spirit of the
original series, which ran from 1994-1998. Without revealing anything
about this project (again, it could be animated or audio) Straczynski
said: "It's the closest thing to the original B5 in tone of anything
we've done since. As if no time has passed at all."

The secret Babylon 5 project comes out in July 2023. The CW reboot is
in development.
