Bergerac is the next cancelled TV show getting the reboot treatment.
Paramount Network International is developing a reboot of classic British police procedural, per Deadline:
The series previously starred John Nettles, later known for his role in Midsomer Murders, as a detective on the small island of Jersey.
Endemol Shine-backed production company Artists Studios is developing the reboot with Westward Studios. It is the latest attempt to bring back the classic character – the BBC had previously attempted to remake the series with Artists Studios back in 2013. Artists Studios’ Gub Neal, who has produced series such as Prime Suspect and The Fall, is lead producer.
Bergerac originally survived nine seasons over 87 episodes on the BBC between 1981 and 1991.
Would you welcome Bergerac back onto your screens? Should the show stay cancelled forever?
Stay tuned…
Definitely interested in this. Really enjoyed the original series and Jersey is a lovely setting.
