NBC has ordered Bryan Fuller’s (“Pushing Daisies”) pilot for The Munsters. The project will be different from the 1960s comedy series in that Fuller’s take will reinvent the series as a one-hour drama, Variety reports:
Project is said to reimagine the titular family of monsters in a world with a lighter tone akin to the one Fuller brought to life in ABC’s “Pushing Daisies,” which he exec produced.
The original ‘Munsters’ aired on CBS in 1964 and ran for two seasons.
