That’s "V" as in the letter "V," not the Roman numeral for "five." Otherwise, I guess the sequel would be "VI."
Now, the original V aired when I was about seven, so I never watched much of the original miniseries, or the TV series that followed. It’s not like I couldn’t have watched it as a seven year old, but I was kind of a wuss when I was a kid and those scary lizard people were too much for me. If any of you would like to go back in time and heckle me as a seven year old, feel free to do that. Seriously, that kid needs some toughening up.
So anyway, TV Filter hepped me to information about a possible miniseries sequel to the original series, helmed by original writer and director Kenneth Johnson. Right now it seems they’re trying to secure the finances needed to do the series, but before that happens you’ll be able to purchase the novel based on Johnson’s screenplay by early 2007. According to the IMDb trivia page for V – The Second Generation, several original cast members have signed on to the project, including Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund. This is IMDb, so I don’t necessarily trust the information completely, but if all of this turns out to be true, it could be a very cool thing for fans of the series.

I so loved this mini-series and series so much! In fact that is where I developed my crush on Robert Englund!
