Emmy-nominated The Last of Us director Peter Hoar has launched a production outfit and is working on a reboot of cult British sci-fi classic Blake’s 7.

Hoar has opened “genre-based” indie Multitude Productions with A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder exec Matthew Bouch and West End producer Jason Haigh-Ellery. The trio have snapped up a wealth of IP including Blake’s 7, which last aired on the BBC 45 years ago.

Hoar, who directed the critically-acclaimed “Long, Long Time” ep of HBO’s The Last of Us, plans to direct the Blake’s 7 reboot, which will go out to buyers soon. Bouch would “love it to go to the BBC” and will likely seek co-pro funding from the American streamers and European players like RTL.

Created by Terry Nation, the man credited with inventing the Daleks, Blake’s 7 aired for four seasons on the BBC from 1978 to 1981. The show, which exhibited numerous tropes of the traditional space opera, followed the exploits of political dissident Roj Blake (Gareth Thomas), who leads a small group of rebels against the forces of the totalitarian Terran Federation that rules the Earth and many colonized planets. There have been several reboot attempts down the decades but none have caught fire. Multitude struck the deal with Nation’s estate and casting and writing conversations will commence in due course.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!
I've been waiting for this since 1981!!!!!
