SciFi Channel to Produce Ringworld Miniseries

Posted on April 14, 2004

Based on the classic Larry Niven books, this 4-hour miniseries in development from the SciFi Channel will follow four explorers who crash land on Ringworld -- an artificial world, mammoth in scope and built in the shape of a ring that rotates around a gravitational sun force.

Exploring its harsh terrain, the team encounters alien beings, but they also come to realize that the Ring was once home to an incredibly advanced, technologically-sophisticated civilization which mysteriously vanished after building it...or have they?

Ringworld is executive produced by Bob Mandel and Micky Hyman.

Update: There is news from Deadline that Amazon will now develop the series.
