If you’re a 30-something geek then you probably remember the biggest TV epic of 1983, V. For the uninitiated, V was a miniseries which debut in 1983 on NBC and took the country by storm as mice-guzzling aliens came to Earth to replenish their foodstuffs, with us. Yes, if you’re looking at the photo they did look pretty campy with the big hair and rubber masks but, hey, it was the 80s remember?

Don’t fret if you missed it though, you’ll get your chance. Word on the street is ABC is doing it’s own adaptation of the V saga.

SciFi.com: “The original V was an allegory of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Peters said he won’t duplicate that concept, except that the new V will still focus on what happens when the masses have blind faith in their leaders.

The new V will center on Erica Evans, a Homeland Security agent with an aimless son who’s got problems. When the aliens arrive, her son gloms on to them, causing tension within the family. As in the original V, several storylines will unfold simultaneously. “
