Koenig added that it is currently unclear what form the new Babylon 5 will take. "It could be a new series or it could be a feature film, but [Straczynski] was quite animated about it," he said. "He seemed very excited. "Warner Brothers is dealing with him in good faith. So you might see another Babylon 5 in the not too distant future."
