K9 Logo from the new spinoff series

If you’re a fan of Doctor Who then you’re no doubt interested in the spinoff series based upon his one time robot dog sidekick, K9.

The spinoff series will include 13 half-hour episodes that have been co-produced by the original creator of K9, Bob Baker. It stars Robyn Moore (Undead / The Horsemen) as June Turner, newcomer Daniel Webber as Darius, and Keegan Joyce (who appeared in Superman Returns) as Starkey.

The first two episodes are part 1 and 2 respectively in a story titled ‘Feast of the Merrons’.

K9 will be brought to the screen as both an animatronic prop and in CGI form.  K9’s new updated design has yet to be released, but according to the producers he will be sleek and different to anything seen before – but recognisable to new and old fans.

The image above is the first time the logo has been seen. From Gallifrey One:

Paul Tams, the show’s co-creator and co-associate producer, told The Doctor Who News Page: “As eagle-eyed people may spot, I based the new logo on K9’s old-type font of Westminster, with an update. The font is also used on K9’s new body.”

The series is well and truly into its production with principal photography due to complete in May.  Although air dates have not been confirmed the first episodes are expected to air on Australia’s Network 10 later this year.  Yes, K9 is an Australian production by the Film Finance Corporation.
