According to the Los Angeles Times, District 9 director Neill Blomkamp is planning a prequel to District 9 rather than a sequel (which we reported to you earlier). He's definitely not interested in a TV show either.
"A television show I wouldn't really want to do. That would be... well, I just don't want to do that," he said "But a sequel might be interesting. I know what I'm doing next so it wouldn't be right away. But the concept of aliens in Johannesburg is such an appealing idea to me and the issues of race and how they meet. All of the things that I had going on with it. I wouldn't mind messing around with it again. I'm open to it if the story works and there's a reason to do it. And [Sharlto Copley's character] Wikus is so funny to me, I'm very interested in a sort of passive racist like that. If you go forward [with his story beyond District 9] it's more of a traditional film but if you go backward I'd be intrigued in that. I'm not so interested in aliens coming back and blowing things up but [a prequel] might be interesting."
He also revealed that he plans on directing more than just science fiction:
"Science fiction allows for design and creatures and guns... most of the films I make, I'm sure, will be in that category," he said. "But I can also see myself making a film like Black Hawk Down and I could also totally do horror. Science fiction and horror, that right there is my optimum. I can see myself doing out-there comedy like Monty Python, absolutely, I would love that. Seriously."
Not sure about a Monty Python style project, but District 10 can't come soon enough.
