“Red Dwarf” is returning to television after a decade-long hiatus. The show will return to a two-part Easter weekend special which will see the cast finally return to Earth.

The episodes are written and directed by “Red Dwarf” co-creator Doug Naylor, and reunited the entire line-up.

For the uninitiated the series was set three million years into the future, and followed the exploits of Dave Lister, the slovenly crew member of a mining ship called Red Dwarf…and the last man in the universe.

The new two part series will be followed by a “no holds barred” episode without sets, special effects, or auto cue.

The episodes will air on digital channel Dave, and along with the “Doctor Who” weekend special…makes Easter in the UK a sci-fi fan’s dream come true.
