According to JMSNews, Babylon 5 producer J. Michael Straczynski posted in an online newsgroup that the only continuation of the series will be as a feature film, if that were ever to be green lit. Here is an excerpt of his post.
"B5:TLT was commissioned at a $2 million budget to, yet one more time,"test the waters" for B5. We did what we could with that, and that was that. As we did with Rangers, which also suffered from not having a lot of money because of concerns about "is there really a B5 audience?" Which is, of course, a foolish question from a studio that has never really understood what it has in B5."
"Of late, there have been more discussions from WB about doing more DVDs, again at a low cost, or a cable thing, again with minimal investment."
"So for the last few months, I've been giving this whole subject a lot of quiet thought. And I've come to a conclusion."
"B5 as a five year story stands beautifully on its own. If anything else is to be continued from that story, it should be something that adds to the legacy of B5, rather than subtracts from it."
"As well intentioned as Rangers and TLT were, as enticing as it was to return to those familiar waters, in the end I think they did more to subtract from the legacy than add to it. I don't regret having made them, because I needed to go through that to get to the point where I am now psychologically, but from where I sit now, I wouldn't make them again."
"So I've let everyone up here know that I'm not interested in doing any more low-budget DVDs. I'm not interested in doing any low-budget cable things or small computer games. The only thing I would be interested in doing regarding Babylon 5 from this point on is a full-featured, big-budget feature film."
"It's that or nothing."
