Are we on the cusp of a new wave of sci-fi westerns? Years after the premature demise of TV’s The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. and Firefly suggested that viewers didn’t much like mixing horseplay with spaceships, now comes news that Chuck executive producer Scott Rosenbaum is developing an as-yet-untitled sci-fi oater for the Fox broadcasting network.

Described as an epic Western with a sci-fi twist, the show will revolve around “a gunslinger caught between worlds” and will feature a nod to Planet of the Apes, said Rosenbaum, who is executive producing with Wonderland’s McG and Peter Johnson.

“What I’m really interested in is the revamping of the Western genre where you still have all of the iconic Western themes and iconic Western tropes but the idea is that it will feel incredibly contemporary and will introduce the Western to a whole new generation,” Rosenbaum said.
