A new series of ‘Red Dwarf’ will be filmed this year.
Danny John-Jules – who played Cat in the sci-fi comedy series – has confirmed he will reunite with original cast members Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, and Robert Llewellyn in the coming months to work on new episodes of the cult show, which originally ran on the BBC from 1988 to 1999 and was relaunched on Dave in 2009.
However, Danny admitted he hasn’t yet received a script for the new series.
He told The Sun Online’s Big Interview: "All we know is it’s going to be done by the end of the year.
"We haven’t seen a script yet, it’s all in negotiation.
"But I’m never worried about Red Dwarf. I’ve never been so comfortable in a gig.
"The fans are over the moon, spinning cartwheels because unless you’re watching Netflix, what are you going to watch as a sitcom in England."
Earlier this month Danny reunited with his co-stars in London but was coy about their plans.
He shared a video on Instagram and simply said: "We’re not allowed to say a damn word about what we’re doing."
Before work starts on ‘Red Dwarf’, Danny is keeping busy with his 11-date one-man show, ‘I’ve Gotta Be Me’ – which portrays the life of Rat Pack star Sammy Davis Jr. – and the actor admitted going on tour with the production is "daunting".
He said: "It’s daunting.
"I’m only telling the story, I’m not actually playing him, but you can’t tell his story without song, dance, impersonations or jokes."
The most recent series of ‘Red Dwarf’ aired on Dave in October 2017.
