NBC Giving “The Munsters” Second Breath

Looks like fans may soon get to see “The Munsters” brought to life once again! Although NBC initially passed on the pilot script, the new chairman – Robert Greenblatt – is thankfully giving it a second shot. More details below:

NBC has decided to give “Pushing Daisies” scribe Bryan Fuller’s revamp of the classic ’60s series “The Munsters” another shot, putting the series back in development after initially giving the idea a pass, a source familiar with the project confirms to TheWrap.

The proposed series would be a still-humorous, though edgier and darker, hour-long offering that would delve into the origins of Herman Munster, Lily Munster and their monstrous clan.

The network initially greenlit the pilot in September. While NBC brass passed on Fuller’s initial script, recently installed NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt was keen enough on the idea to order a second go at the script.
