Odyssey 5 is a Canadian[1] science fiction television series, which was shown in 2002 on Space in Canada and on Showtime in the United States.

Through his website and in interviews, Coto expressed his interest in returning to the series at some point, either continuing it or giving it a conclusion.

The story follows six people, four astronauts, a scientist and a television news reporter, on a routine flight of the space shuttle Odyssey on 7 August 2007.

Astronaut Angela Perry must deal with the knowledge that her father is a corrupt U.S. senator whose malfeasance destroyed her family in the original timeline.

Pessimistic scientist Kurt Mendel believes they cannot change history and spends his time indulging every desire.

The humanity of the team is shown through arguments, jokes and their attempts to maintain social lives and help the world with their limited knowledge of the future.

A recurring theme is that the actions of the group may hasten the cataclysm they are trying to avoid or alter history in undesirable ways.

The series made a full run of all 19 episodes in the United Kingdom on Sky One and on Sci Fi Channel and in Canada.

As an extra feature, the DVD set has a commentary track on the pilot episode by Manny Coto and Peter Weller.
