Why did *Galaxy Quest 2* never ever happen?
*Galaxy Quest* has become increasingly well-known since its publication and is today considered as a cult classic. Given the great demand in a sequel, it is odd that a follow-up was not developed. Apart from Pyle, several of the original stars—Sigourney Weaver, Tim Allen, and Sam Rockwell—have indicated desire in producing another film. Still, not any credible rumors about a *Galaxy Quest* sequel surfaced until 2014. The original was not a big movie office hit, hence the delay in development could have resulted from some time needed to reach cult status as among the best space comedies.
As previous cast members indicated their desire in returning, speculations about a sequel grew strong by 2014; even Allen claimed that a *Galaxy Quest 2* draft existed. When Paramount stated it was creating a TV series based on the original film, the formal word of a franchise expansion came in 2015; Amazon soon hopped on the initiative. Plans to bring *Galaxy Quest* back to life, however, were shelved at the death of original star Alan Rickman in 2016. Though the ensemble had been in talks with Amazon about the show, they voiced uncertainty about it happening after Rickman passed away.
