Sky One has announced that a remake of 1970s sci-fi series Blake's 7 could return to our screens
Sky One has given the green light for the development of two 60-minute scripts for a "potential event series".
Blake's 7, features a gang of rebels fighting an evil federation that ruled the galaxy. Blake's 7 originally aired on BBC One between 1978 and 1981, and has since been repeated on satellite channels.
Sky One have not yet revealed when production on the series will begin.
The programme will be a collaboration between Sky and Blake's 7 Productions, a subsidiary of Blake's 7 Media who own the licence to the show.
The original Blake's 7 series on BBC One featured Gareth Thomas as lead character Roj Blake and Paul Darrow as cynical-but-charming computer fraudster Kerr Avon.
A series of Blake's 7 radio dramas featuring Colin Salmon and Daniela Nardini were broadcast last year on BBC7.
