The reruns of the Nineties sci-fi show are currently airing on TV channel Dave, with the new series expected later this year.
Corrie star Craig Charles is returning as curry-loving slob Dave Lister, along with Chris Barrie as Rimmer and Danny John-Jules, who played Cat.
Dave bosses were impressed when a three-part special screened in 2009, Red Dwarf: Back To Earth, drew more than three million viewers.
The BBC2 show ran for eight series over 11 years until it was axed in 1999.
Craig revealed during filming last year how the cast’s costumes had to be altered to allow for middle-aged spread.
The actor – who took a break from his role as Corrie cabbie Lloyd Mullaney to make the new series – joked that he and his co-stars were turning the show into OAPs in space.
He said: “Kryten’s going to be a much wider robot and Cat wears a wig so you can’t see his grey hair.
“And Rimmer – he’ll need a touch up. I like the idea of grumpy old men in space.”
It is not known when the new series of Red Dwarf will be aired.
