"Fox TV has teamed up with the BBC, Canada&amp;#039;s CTV and Germany&amp;#039;s ProSieben for the 13-episode space drama Defying Gravity. Ron Livingston and German actress Florentine Lahme have been cast in the show, which is set around a six-year expedition through the solar system by eight astronauts from five different countries. James Parriot and Michael Edlstein will executive produce the big-budget show, which is loosely based on the BBC docu-drama Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets. &amp;quot;Throw in a little bit of Grey&amp;#039;s and Lost and you have a pretty good international TV show,&amp;quot; Parriot told The Hollywood Reporter. Defying Gravity is scheduled to go into production in January in Vancouver under the direction of David Straiton (House). It will look for a US network home once filming has been completed.
