Revivals
Though the show was cancelled in 1979, that was not quite the end
of the Tomorrow People. In the 1990s, the British arm of the American
cable television station Nickelodeon produced a reboot series of
The Tomorrow People. The new series ran from 1993 to 1995. It was
not accepted as well as the original as it lacked many elements
of the original series such as TIM and the headquarters. However
the new series did feature some strong guest actors including Christopher
Lee and Jean Marsh. Beginning
in 2001, Big Finish Productions made an audio series of The Tomorrow
People which featured some of the original cast-members in new
adventures. Nicholas Young, Elizabeth Adare, Peter Vaughn-Clarke
and Mike Holoway reprised their original roles. In the earlier
releases, Philip Gilbert also starred as TIM, but after Philip
Gilbert's death in 2004, TIM was replaced by Trevor Littledale.

P Allan drew a comic strip version of The Tomorrow People for
Look-In, a television comic magazine.
During
the 1970s, five novelisations of the television series were written,
though they often differed from the original story. Another four
books were written during the 1990s series.
