Well, I worry a lot less with Straczynski writing... but then the question
is what the producers and the director will do to that....

Excerpt:
According to sources speaking to Variety, Kim Stanley Robinson\342\200\231s Red Mars
has been green-lighted for a 10-episode TV adaptation on Spike TV.

Each episode will be an hour long, and J. Michael Straczynski, creator and
writer of Babylon 5 and co-creator of Sense8 will serve as Red Mars\342\200\231
writer, co-executive producer, and showrunner. Vince Gerardis,
co-executive producer of Game of Thrones, will also serve as executive
producer on Red Mars with Straczynski. Robinson will reportedly be an
on-the-set consultant.
