Hunted by a merciless military race led by Scorpius, Crichton begins his quest for home from a distant galaxy.
A groundbreaking award-winning sci-fi production, FARSCAPE from The Jim Henson Company and [HALLMARK] has become a global favorite. Named by TV Guide as one of television’s “Best Cult Shows Ever†and most recently named by EMPIRE Magazine as one of the “50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time,†FARSCAPE is known for the overwhelming fan-based campaign that led to its miniseries production.
