Andromeda

Andromeda is a Canadian-American sci-fi TV series, inspired by unused ideas from the late Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. Developed by Robert Hewitt Wolfe and produced by Roddenberry’s widow, Majel Barrett, the show features Kevin Sorbo as High Guard Captain Dylan Hunt. It debuted on October 2, 2000, and concluded on May 13, 2005.

The series was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, and produced by Tribune Entertainment and Fireworks Entertainment. In Canada, it was distributed by Global TV, while in the United States, it was syndicated on WGN and other networks. Midway through its fourth season, the Sci-Fi Channel in the U.S. picked it up. Andromeda is one of two TV shows derived from concepts Roddenberry had envisioned as early as the 1960s and 1970s. The character name Dylan Hunt was also used in two TV movie pilots Roddenberry produced in the mid-1970s, Genesis II and Planet Earth, which shared a similar premise. The other series created posthumously from Roddenberry’s notes is Earth: Final Conflict.
