Titan Titbits News Posted by Ian Symes on 6th July 2026, 10:07 After the superb video marketing campaign seemingly came to a close on Friday, we are now entering the final ever week in which Red Dwarf: Titan is not either on your bookshelf or in your sweaty hands. There are TEN DAYS TO GO until the fifth Red Dwarf novel is released, and consequently we're starting to see more and more coverage appear outside of our little fandom bubble. We're anticipating that this will only increase as the release draws ever closer, so here's a handy front page post for keeping track of it all. If you spot anything out there in the wild, do feel free to pop it in the comments below, for everyone to enjoy. Read more →
Incoming Message, here they go again! News Posted by Ian Symes on 26th June 2026, 09:15 You know the drill by now. It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another teaser video for Red Dwarf: Titan. This week, it’s called Incoming Message, and it premieres as usual at 11am British Ridiculously-Hot-Summer-But-Climate-Change-Is-Definitely-Just-A-Myth Time. Less than three weeks to go, by the way. Ridiculous.
Hence the name a Stellar Link News Posted by Ian Symes on 19th June 2026, 09:38 Ooh, we could get used to having regular Red Dwarf updates on a Friday morning every week, what a novel idea. Yes, the presumably-official Titan accounts have spluttered into life once more this morning, with the latest YouTube video, this time entitled Stellar Link, premiering again at 11:00am BST. Based on last time, we’re expecting something cool and teasery rather than anything too substantial, but you never know. Well, you do know if you’re coming to this post more than 82 minutes after it was posted, but still. Let’s have another miniature watchalong, shall we?
Barrie Booked News Posted by Ian Symes on 16th June 2026, 11:00 In news that’s not entirely unexpected but nevertheless very welcome, Chris Barrie is the voice of the Red Dwarf: Titan audiobook, which will be released alongside the hardback and ebook on July 16th. We’re looking forward to some competent (by design) impressions, now we have our man in place who’s utterly suited to the role. All rather exciting, frankly. There’d probably have been riots if it wasn’t Chris, but it’s never guaranteed that the most desirable option is the one that becomes reality. Thankfully this is yet another aspect of Titan that just feels right. The only way it could be more perfect is if it was released on a boxset of six audio cassettes instead a digital file, such as the one you can pre-order now from Audible. That listing confirms that the audiobook is unabridged, and gives a running time of ten hours. Beautiful. Here are some similarly reassuring words from other people: Chris Barrie said: ‘I am finding Red Dwarf Titan to be a very entertaining read. Recording any Audiobook is always a challenge with so many characters to cover, but Red Dwarf Titan, loaded as it is with laugh-out-loud lines and situations, is simply a joy!’ Co-author Andrew Marshall said: ‘I’m delighted that the portrayer of Arnold J. Rimmer himself, the fabulous multi-voiced Chris Barrie will be reading the audiobook of Red Dwarf Titan, and I’m certain that Rob would be too. In fact we would be noisily competing as to whom was the most delighted. Currently that’s me.’ One month to go until the first Red Dwarf novel in thirty years. One. Month.
JOIN THE CORPS. News Posted by Jonathan Capps on 12th June 2026, 09:16 Well, isn’t this interesting. We noticed this morning that an account called @RedDwarfTitan had started following us on X, and their one Tweet is pointing to a video. A video which will be premiering in less than two hours, with the tagline “JOIN THE CORPS.” over a very nice piece of artwork. Now, this might not be legit – we’ve had our fair share of heads-ups and embargoed news in the past, but this is not one of those cases – so we could be opening a Can of Worms of LAZY, INACCURATE journalism, but it’s too good an opportunity to have a watch party over on YouTube not to share this with you all and see what happens. Update: Well, what we got was a very brief teaser for the book, along with further confirmation of the release date. I’m impressed there’s any sort of video based publicity, really, and hopefully this very small teaser is a sign of marketing to come, because I do very much like the Space Corps angle.
Red Dwarf: Titan – Covered News Posted by Ian Symes on 19th February 2026, 09:00 A mere two weeks ago, Red Dwarf: Titan was just a glimmer in Rob Grant's buttski, as far as we were aware. But now details are coming thick and fast. Following the novel first appearing on random booksellers' websites, quickly followed by Rob and Andy supplying a full synopsis, we can now exclusively reveal the book's cover art. Many thanks to The Orion Publishing Group, who seem to have accidentally mistaken us for a legitimate press organisation. Read more →
Red Dwarf: Titan – the full synopsis News Posted by Ian Symes on 10th February 2026, 10:06 Following last week's unheralded appearance of Red Dwarf: Titan on various obscure booksellers' websites, some bloke called Rob has got in touch with us to clarify one or two things. Hi G&Tians A couple of bookshops seem to have misunderstood the publisher’s embargo, and made a premature pre-launch of the new RD novel, Titan. It’s not even been through the final copy edit yet. They also announced a publication date in July, which is the first we’ve heard of it, and over which we have no control. It’s still not confirmed. Likewise, the blurb we’d written for the cover wasn’t shown in full, presumably to accommodate a word count. Now the Cat’s out of the baggy suit, here’s the full version. ROB & ANDY Read more →
Rob Andy readin’ Titan, yes sir I’ve been around News Posted by Ian Symes on 6th February 2026, 16:20 Well then. Exactly five years to the day that Rob Grant told us that he wanted Red Dwarf flying out of our buttskis, it seems we're a little over six months away from the first scheduled flight. Thanks to our Czech mate barbucha in our forum for spotting that a novel called Red Dwarf: Titan is beginning to turn up in online listings, with a release date of July 16th. An all-new prequel, and the first Red Dwarf novel in thirty years with Red Dwarf creator Rob Grant returning alongside Andy Marshall, creator of sitcom 2point4Children and Quanderhorn! Before the beginning. Before the accident that wipes out the crew, the mining ship Red Dwarf is in orbit around Titan, and the crew is heading down for shore leave, all with different intensions… However, their objectives are scuppered somewhat unexpectedly when they receive a cryptic message. A message from the future. Two feuding crewmen are catapulted into a breakneck race to save not only this but every other Reality. So strap yourself in - the Dwarfers are taking on TITAN. This novel is the perfect reboot for those who have never seen the series but also full of wonderful Easter eggs for the fans. Read more →
The G&T Review of the Year 2023 Features Posted by Ian Symes on 31st December 2023, 15:16 At the start of Red Dwarf's 35th anniversary year, things had never seemed grimmer for the health of the franchise. The protracted legal kerfuffle between the show's creators was dragging on into its third calendar year, with no indication whatsoever that it would end any time soon, and any possibility of new material dwindling with each passing day. But as 2023 comes to an end, despite there still being no solid news in terms of actual production, there has been so, so much to give us hope that Red Dwarf shall live again. Read more →
Titan up the details News Posted by Ian Symes on 8th November 2023, 21:01 Just three short days ago, we got the first whiff of a potential new Red Dwarf project, and today more details have emerged thanks to Rob granting an exclusive interview to the Radio Times. You can consume it in both written and visual form, but the key points that answer the questions we’ve been puzzling over all week are: Set before the events of The End Being set “one universe to the side” gives them “leeway in how we can handle things” Lister and Rimmer are already bunkmates, and are on shore leave on Titan (so not a direct transposition of the first part of Infinity, rather a point in the timeline between Lister signing up for Red Dwarf and the crew being wiped out) Planned as a novel and a TV show – although whether that will be a live-action or animated TV show is yet to be seen, however… There will be a new cast, which does seem to imply live action, as the existing actors could easily play younger versions in voice-only roles The original cast are up for making guest appearances The recasting news will probably generate the most discussion, but it’s great to get clarification at this early stage on the exact setting in our characters’ timelines. I can see the “one universe to the side” excuse being wheeled out to cover for any manner of unforeseen inconsistencies, but it’s a great way to approach Red Dwarf: Titan in general – we’re not sure if it’s Red Dwarf as we know it, but it’s going to be a lot of fun finding out.
