Now, Grant's co-author Andrew Marshall has opened up about his hopes for the beloved band of comedy characters as they return in the alternate reality novel – including a more fleshed out Dave Lister (who was played by Craig Charles in the TV series), and more developed female characters.
He added that Grant "was very keen – as was I – to develop the female characters a little bit more".
"So Kochanski has a much, much bigger role in this, and there's also a couple of other new female characters for you to have a look at," he continued.
Asked whether the show needed updating for a modern audience, Marshall added: "Yeah, it did need updating a little bit. That's the way we looked at it, anyway. It's just bringing it more into line with how things are these days, but it was very interesting.
"The other great thing about a book is it can have an infinite visual effects budget, because you're creating it all in your head. It can be something that would cost an absolute fortune to make. Maybe one day we will make it, but we'll see."
He added that the story will see Lister and Rimmer "get a message from the far future warning them that all realities are going to collapse unless they do something about it".Grant also assured us that Red Dwarf's signature silliness is back in full force, with the writer promising that fans will "laugh their little chippers off".
