This is not a remake.
It’s the story the original promised—but never delivered.
Why This Story Exists
Back in 1973, The Starlost introduced a remarkable science-fiction premise:
a massive generation ship, hundreds of isolated domes, and the last remnants of humanity
drifting through space after catastrophe.
The original series never fully realized that potential. The concept, however, has endured
for decades because it still feels enormous, urgent, and strangely modern.
With today’s storytelling, production values, and long-form television format,
The Starlost can finally become the epic it was always meant to be.
