RED DWARF CREW BACK TOGETHER FOR LATEST SERIES

Actors Craig Charles (who stars as Dave Lister), Robert Llewellyn (Kryten), Danny John-Jules (The Cat) and Chris Barrie (Rimmer) have reunited for the 11th series of
the popular sci-fi comedy. Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, the Red Dwarf XI series was recorded in front of a live studio audience at Pinewood’s TV Studios. The production also used Pinewood Creative and Pinewood MBS Lighting.

Broadcaster Dave has scheduled the new series for a September premiere. Over the course of the six-episode instalment, two of the Dwarfers’ dreams come true. Rimmer accidentally saves the life of a Space Corps captain and is promoted to Officer.

Cat takes time off from being in love with himself to fall in love with a female Cat – who has a secret. And Lister wakes up to discover a deranged droid has stolen some
of his body parts. Meanwhile, Kryten has a mid-life crisis and considers leaving the Dwarfers for a younger crew.

The gang also find themselves in an alternative America where modern technology is outlawed, making both Kryten (a mechanoid) and Rimmer (a computer-powered
hologram) illegal. Red Dwarf attracted a cult fanbase and a dedicated following after its 1988 run on BBC Two.

The first episode featured the technician character Lister on the mining ship Red Dwarf. He discovered that he had been in stasis for three million years. The show went on to attract over eight million viewers and was broadcast in more than 25 countries. It also scooped a number of awards, including an International Emmy.

After a 10-year absence, Dave revived the show in 2009 with Red Dwarf: Back to Earth. This was followed by a six-part series, Red Dwarf X in 2012.
