    Very well made.

    Surprising that the title hasn't been revived to make so crap the way Battlestar was.

    That was interesting. I had forgotten about this (aborted) reboot. I was
    amused to see that Canada's own Sarah Polley was in it, as was Kelly
    Reilly. Reilly currently has a lead role in Yellowstone as John Dutton's kickass daughter.

    A four-part answer:

    1. There have been new "Space 1999" episodes released over
    the last couple of years ago, as audio dramas by Big Finish
    (the same company that does Doctor Who audio dramas).

    2. There was an official reboot series/movie being planned by
    "ITV America" to be called "Space 2099", but has since been
    abandoned.

    3. That You Tube link is for a fan-made trailer for "Space 2099"
    which takes clips from other shows. Likely based on the
    reports of the reboot above. There are other similar vidoes.


    4. There is a fan-based reboot called "Space 2099" where
    fans took the original show's episodes and 'updated' them
    by altering every date reference (i.e. dialogue saying "1998"
    got chopped to just "'98"). This project was dropped when the
    official reboot above was announced.

    The Wikipedia article on Space: 1999 says there were at least discussions
    about continuing the show but it's not clear how far they got with that.

    Discussion by or with who? Was it all mail and/or phone?

    Almost 10 years ago it was an official reboot planned by ITV Studios
    America (ITV has a licensing agreement with Anderson Entertainment) in partnership with HDFILMS ... the people who made the horrible "V"
    reboot.

    <https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/space-2099-television-remake-288601/>


    and eight years ago it was still planned,

    <https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/scifi/space-2099-reboot-series-works-executive-producer.html>


    but the whole thing appears to have been quietly axed long ago since
    nothing more has been heard about it.



    There is an Gerry Anderson documentary (docu-drama?) in production and
    due to be released on BritBox in April 2022. <https://anderson-entertainment.co.uk/gerry-anderson-a-life-uncharted-the-definitive-gerry-anderson-documentary/>


    Anderson Entertainment is also apparently re-printing some of the old
    novels from the 1960s and 1970s, as well as new stories and the new audio-dramas. <https://anderson-entertainment.co.uk/anderson-entertainment-announces-new-publishing-venture/>

    I was only aware of the short clip with a message from "Sondra".

    For some reason, I thought that was a fan film she agreed to do.


    "Message from Moonbase Alpha" was a fan-produced clip film with new
    material featuring the Sandra Benes character. She was filmed two
    weeks before the premiere at the Breakaway convention in L.A. on Sept
    13 1999. The Breakaway licensing deal said the film could be shown
    only once, but the deal was amended later, and the film was eventually
    released as a DVD extra.
