John Scalzi's Star Trek Parody Novel Redshirts Coming to TV
FX is developing a limited series based on Redshirts, the winner of the 2013 Hugo Award.
confirmed on Twitter [http://www.deadline.com/2014/02/redshirts-novel-tv-series-fx/] that he will be consulting on the show as well as being an executive producer. FX is currently looking for writers for the series.
The novel follows Ensign Andrew Dahl, a new member of the crew of the Intrepid starship. Dahl and the other ensigns begin to realize that all away missions seem to follow a strange set of rules, including the death of at least one low-ranking crewmember. Redshirts was published in June 2012 and won the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novel. The audiobook version [http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/04/02/redshirts-audiobook-news-tabletop/] is read by actor Wil Wheaton. No casting announcements have been made for the television adaptation of the novel, but given the novel's many homages to Star Trek and other well-loved science fiction series, we can hope that the producers will approach some sci-fi fan favorites.
The novel and upcoming television series should not be confused with digital distributors [http://www.redshirtgame.com/].
