Two years after series XII aired on Dave back in October 2017, confirmation arrived that Red Dwarf was coming back to TV, but not (yet) in the form of a full series XIII. Instead, the boys from the Dwarf were returning for a feature-length special.

Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Norman Lovett will all appear in ‘The Promised Land’, a 90-minute episode due to air on Thursday the 9th of April on Dave.

Regrettably, the London press screening and cast Q&A for ‘The Promised Land’ had to be cancelled due to the global spread of COVID-19, but here’s all the latest about the new episode, including the first full trailer and the beautiful new poster.
