For years there have been rumors, conjecture, and even some evidence (see V: The Rebirth) of a V revival. Kenneth Johnson then himself announced his intention to return to the V-verse with what he dubbed, V: The Second Generation. He envisioned it as a four hour miniseries that would serve as a sequel to the original V miniseries. Knowing his disdain for the Final Battle and weekly series, it came as no surprise that he was planning on ignoring the events of those completely. After some negotiations, he changed it to a three hour movie. After further negotiations, NBC wanted him to make a remake of the original miniseries first and then they could discuss the sequel. Kenneth half-heartedly went that route at first but eventually, they pulled out from negotiations from NBC altogether. Kenneth decided to turn his attention to novelizing the Second Generation while holding discussions on how to proceed. The novel was announced and delayed several times before finally being released on February 5th, 2008. According to his site and emails, he is still attempting to get V back in front of the camera, but it seems his focus is to get the Original miniseries made as a movie first and then the Second Generation would be a sequel down the road.
