Tim Kenneally of The Wrap is reporting that NBC television is picking up a reimagining of the 1960s comedy television series The Munsters. He writes “NBC announced that it has picked up the pilot for its revamp of the ’60s monster comedy The Munsters, billing it as an ‘imaginative reinvention’ of the classic series and ‘a visually spectacular one-hour drama.'”
He also reports Bryan Fuller (Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies) is serving as writer and executive producer.
The project has been up and down: NBC first gave the go-ahead for a pilot last September, but then decided not to go with it after seeing Fuller’s first script. Now, incoming NBC chief Robert Greenblatt has decided to give the project another chance.
