Infobox instructions (only shown in preview)

Farscape is an Australian-American science fiction television series conceived by Rockne S. O'Bannon and produced by The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment,^[1] originally for the Nine Network. It premiered in North America on the Sci-Fi Channel's SciFi Friday segment on 19 March 1999, (at 8:00 pm EST), as the network's anchor series. The Jim Henson Company is credited with the many alien looks, make-up and prosthetics; two regular characters on the show, the animatronic puppets Rygel and Pilot, were entirely Henson Creature Shop creations.

Although the series was planned for five seasons, it was abruptly cancelled after production had ended on its fourth season, thus finishing the series on a cliffhanger. Co-producer Brian Henson later secured the rights to Farscape, paving the way for a three-hour miniseries, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, which Henson himself directed. In 2007, it was announced that the creator was returning for a web series,^[2] though production has been repeatedly delayed. In December 2008, a comic book miniseries was released, in-continuity with both the television show and the potential online series.
