Last year The Munsters seemed to be on track to resurface on contemporary television as a new show from Pushing Daises creator Bryan Fuller, with talent like Guillermo Del Toro circling the project. As often happens though, executives changed and studio power shifted so now the show has gone through a full redevelopment- it’s still Fuller’s project but he’s recast it as a “visually striking” one-hour drama. He’s also landed his big-name talent to handle the pilot, and he’s ringing in another Bryan… one, Mr. Singer.
I’m not going to leap on the “drama” thing, as that descriptor in a second-hand report doesn’t mean anything, but considering the original point of reference was “Modern Family meets True Blood,” it’s clear I’m not equipped to predict what the hell they’re doing here. It’s all very weird to me, since I only watched the original show in marathons as a very young kid, so translating those characters through a modern prism is tough. Best of luck to both Bryans though.
The deal should push forward and production should start soon, so keep an eye out if you’re on board with this.

So Eddie will be a closeted wolfboy, right?
Del Toro was never circling or remotely interested. Check your sources, man.
Bryan Singer, Renn isn’t sure of what you’re going to do and can’t even do his usual work of trying to predict what this show will be like. Since, in news leading up to any kind of film or tv show, his job is to give a lame prediction about what he thinks its quality will be. So you’re obviously not sure how this will end up.
It’s tired, Renn.
