You could plan out a five to seven year series that would be must watch.
The hard part would be casting. Andreas Katsulas and Peter Jurasik gave almost irreplaceable performances. Steven Brust and Bruce Boxlietner roles would be hard to recast but not impossible. The rest of the cast was good, but could be replicated.
All in all, it would be up to J. Micheal Straczynski if he would want to do it.

On Twitter, people are always asking JMS if he'd ever do more in the B5 universe and unfortunately Warner Brothers has complete control over it but won't do anything with the property. They won't sell/give it back to him, they won't license it out to other media outlets for things like video games or more novels.
WB seems uninterested in B5, but don't want anyone else to have it.
