According to the news website Deadline Hollywood, two veteran entertainment producers, Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer, will be joining together for a new project of adapting the original 1960s television series The Munsters into an “imaginative reinvention” for the modern day audience. Bryan Fuller has written a pilot script for the new series and NBC placed an order for it to be produced by Universal Television.Instead of the original thirty minute, single camera sitcom format closely associated with the original series, the newly created adaptation will be an hour long drama show (probably shot in a single camera production style). Bryan Singer is in the midst of working on a contractual deal with NBC to direct and serve as an executive producer of the pilot episode. I would imagine Singer would be moving over to just the executive producer role for the possibility of future episodes that would be placed on order by NBC.
The new series might not add up to anything more than a summer filler product or a mid-season replacement. By looking at the majority of Fuller’s previous television projects I would have to take a guess that the newly revised Munsters family will be nothing more than a temporary program filler to entertain the television watching audience until a new batch of The Office episodes arrive at the start of the fall season.
Director and producer Bryan Singer is not a stranger to television. He has several television credits to his name, which includes serving as an executive producer for House, M.D. (2004-present), which he also directed the pilot episode in addition to another first season episode for the show. The other television heavyweight has garnered success as a producer, writer, and creator of several television shows in the last ten years or so. Bryan Fuller is closely associated with the instant cult classic series Dead Like Me (2003), Wonderfalls (2004), Pushing Daisies (2007-2009), and Heroes (2006-2009).
