Over at HDFilms.com, you can absolutely feel the sense of joy everyone involved must be experiencing now that "V" has been officially picked up by ABC as a midseason series. On their site they posted the following message: "After over two years of development, we finally get to experience the moment when a prime time network decides to believe us that the world is ready for 'V' again. We weathered a crippling writer's strike, a non-television background, the absence of Ken Johnson and an expectation that this had to be event television to stand up against the power of Lost and Heroes in order to even be considered by prime time television. Luckily Warner Bros. took a chance on us to bring something fresh to the project and did not let up on their support of the project through the 2007/2008 writer's strike. Additionally, we continue, to this day, our conversations with Ken to see how we can cross paths again on this much loved property. And let's face it, how can you revisit 'V' without making it an event? It's predisposed to be huge!
"For any of you that have never experienced the pilot process, let us just tell you that it is one of the most grueling experiences! We had three months to address notes on the script, cast, shoot and post. For a VFX heavy show, this is a
monumental task. It was made possible by installing some key people to really push hard, a studio that wanted to knock it out of the park and a network that wants to dominate one-hour dramas!"
From there, the site provides clips and photos while promising to share more with the fans throughout the process.
