Farscape Forever Verrecchia Upped at DIC |
Farscape Forever
Mercury Entertainment and Mort Marcus' Debmar Studios are bringing the Sci Fi Channel's Farscape to the U.S. market for a fall 2005 broadcast syndication launch. The show will be offered for straight barter, with 88 one-hour episodes available. Farscape, starring Ben Browder, ran on Sci Fi from 1999-2003. The show had such a rabid fan base that Sci Fi is bringing it back for a final miniseries titled Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars. Sci Fi is now running all 88 episodes of the show as a lead-up to the event. Mercury and Debmar also worked together on distributing Comedy Central's South Park in broadcast syndication, sold for cash-plus-barter.
