On July 29, 2008, screenwriter Daniel Knauf announced he and his son and collaborator Charles Knauf had completed a four-hour TV-movie script for SCI FI Channel, later re-named SyFy, starring the 22nd Phantom. On March 23, 2009, Sci Fi Channel announced that they have formally ordered a 4-hour mini-series in two parts, which will also serve as a backdoor pilot. The mini-series is scheduled to air in 2010, and is produced by Muse Entertainment and RHI Entertainment.
Ryan Carnes has been cast as Kit Walker, the new Phantom. Cas Anvar plays Rhatib Singh, head of the Singh Brotherhood, Isabella Rossellini plays the villainous Lithia, and Sandrine Holt has been cast as Guran. Cameron Goodman will play the Phantom's love interest, Rennie. Paolo Barzman will direct. The series is shot in New York, Costa Rica and Montreal.
The story sees law student Chris learning that he was adopted, and that he is actually the son of the Phantom. He joins the Phantom team in the jungles of Bengalla, and is trained in martial arts and combat, emerging as the next Phantom to battle the trained assassins of the Singh Brotherhood. The Phantom costume has been heavily modified for the screen.
