According to The Hollywood Reporter, it’s official, NBC will move forward to remake the 1964 “The Munsters” television series:
The network has picked up the pilot, which is billed as an imaginative reinvention of the classic comedy series as a visually spectacular one-hour drama.
The project, which is being produced by Universal Television, will be written and executive produced Bryan Fuller (Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies).
Fuller and NBC first made an attempt to revive the 1960s CBS sitcom last year, with the network ultimately passing.
Fuller’s new look is said to be an edgier and slightly darker take exploring origins of Herman and Lily Munster (originally played by Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo) and how they arrived at the famed 1313 Mockingbird Lane address.
