After ending in 1973, it had two televised sequels - Man out of Time and Agents of A.C.E (2014-2021).

Premise
Agents of A.C.E shows the ongoing battle that both the titular Agents and advisor Jackson Hawksby have agains the constantly persistent forces of evil.

Creation
As a long time fan of the novels, producer Jack Johnson pitched his idea for an ongoing tv show based on the Man from ACE books by Han Flanders. The show would differ from the novels in that it would be more of an ensemble piece. The show was popular and ran for a four season run, before being unceremoniously cancelled due to budgetary issues. The show later was succeeded by both Man out of Time in 2010 and Agents of A.C.E in 2014.
