| Quote: | Spike has made a big move into scripted programming, giving “Red Mars” a straight-to-series order with 10-episodes, Variety has learned exclusively. The hourlong drama marks the cabler’s first original scripted series in nine years.
“Sense8” co-creator J. Michael Straczynski will serve as writer, exec producer and showrunner on “Red Mars.” He will exec produce with “Game of Thrones” co-exec producer Vince Gerardis, who first brought the project to Spike, plus David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross of Skydance Television, which is the studio on the series.
Based on Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy of novels — “Red Mars,” “Green Mars” and “Blue Mars” — which chronicle mankind’s colonization and transformation of the red planet, the series will follow the first settlers charged with terraforming a mysterious planet, all of whom have competed to be a part of the mission. “Red Mars” will delve into the lives of these relative strangers, cut off from everything they’ve ever known and living in the harshest environment imaginable. Regarded as the best novels ever written on the subject, Robinson’s trilogy has been adapted in 21 languages. |
| Quote: | | “Red Mars” is set to go into production next summer for a January 2017 debut. |
Filming of Sense8 is planned to begin on March 2016 so a couple of months earlier than that scripts must be completed to start prep.
So plenty of time for JMS to write Red Mars from the time Sense8 S2 begins prep/shooting until the spring/summer of 2016 when they will need to prep and shoot Red Mars.

*peruses Spike's broadcast list*..moment of awkward silence
Let's hope for the best  , the concept does sound intriguing indeed. If the budget is decent and they aren't reusing effects from the early 80s, maybe they can pull it off.

Meh.
tl;dr
Straczynski wrote the pilot but he was busy with other projects and left from showrunner.
Peter Noah came as new showrunner. He later left due to "creative differences".
Spike put the series on hold, to further develop it with new people.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
