Flash Gordon is an American science fiction television series that will première in the United States in August 2007. The series began filming in Vancouver, Canada in May of 2007. The show's first two episodes will be written by Peter Hume.
The new series, based on the comic strip of the same name and its adaptations, adds a character "called Baylin (Karen Cliché), a bounty hunter from the planet Mongo. She finds herself trapped on Earth and becomes a comrade of Flash (Johnson); his former girlfriend, Dale Arden (Gina Holden); and scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov (Jody Rasciot), who are able to travel back and forth through a portal between the two worlds." In a more subtle change, Ming will not be called "the Merciless" and will exhibit the traits of modern, media-savvy dictators like Saddam Hussein.
