Remember The Andromeda Strain, the horrifying disease thriller by Michael Crichton that launched 1,000 imitators? Well, it’s back and it’s going to be a tv series.

Michael Crichton’s bestselling novel “The Andromeda Strain” will be coming to the small screen, as brothers Tony and Ridley Scott have signed on to produce a four-hour mini-series based on the book. The series is expected to begin production this summer.
Mikael Soloman is set to direct the A and E series. Robert Schenkkan adapted the story.
The series is expected to begin production this summer.
“The Andromeda Strain” is just

one of many original series the A and E network plans to introduce.
The network is expected to announce its plans to invest about $600 million in new projects this year, Variety said.

There’s just nothing like a terrifying disease thriller, we always say. We have a feeling that modern special effects are going to make this one a must-see for paranoid hypochondriacs everywhere.
