Synopsis
Red Dwarf (1988), Season 8 is the last of the classic run — eight episodes you can watch online on iFILM, with the whole original crew suddenly back from the dead.
Nanobots rebuild the entire ship, which means Rimmer is breathing again and Captain Hollister is back in charge. The boys, meanwhile, get handed a two-year stretch in the brig. From there it's a convict suicide squad Lister signs them into by mistake, Kryten reprogrammed into running his own sleazy TV channel, and a dead sparrow named Pete that a revival gun turns into a tyrannosaur loose on the decks. A ship-eating life form closes the season out.
This was the final classic-era season, and it signs off on a flat-out cliffhanger fans waited years to see resolved. The prison premise splits opinion. Still, it drags Hollister and a full crew back on screen after seasons of just four faces. Stream Red Dwarf Season 8 online on iFILM.
