Bryan Fuller made an appearance at WonderCon in San Francisco today. (BFO’s webmaster actually got a chance to meet him and tell him about the site. If you’re reading this: Hi, Bryan!) There, he was interviewed by AssignmentX and talked a little bit about fan favorites, “Heroes” and “Pushing Daisies.”
Bryan Fuller was both a co-executive producer and consulting producer for NBC’s HEROES during its run before moving to PUSHING DAISIES on ABC and then briefly returning to HEROES for its final year.
So does he hear about anything happening with the series either movies or otherwise?
“Nothing,” Fuller says. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they waited for a while and then they reinvented it entirely. There have been two regime changes at NBC since HEROES came out and neither of those had a vested interest in the show. I can’t imagine they would go back into the vault, but in five years, they could re-invent the premise.”
Bryan Fuller’s baby PUSHING DAISIES only lasted two seasons on ABC and one could argue at the treatment it received during that second season. However, he isn’t saying goodbye just yet and would love to have it appear on another network at some point.
“I am really emboldened by what Starz is doing with TORCHWOOD and I would love to do a PUSHING DAISIES mini-series on Starz,” Fuller says. “This would be a great way to wrap up the show properly. [We could] do six great episodes or even a PUSHING DAISIES movie. But I kind of like the idea of a Starz mini-series since they really embraced TORCHWOOD.”

Me, too! Everyone deserves a better, non-rushed wrap-up to the series — even the cast. Fingers crossed that it’ll happen…

I would send you cash if it would help to get even one more episode of DAISIES produced. I’d send my firstborn child (if I had one). I’d come in person and work for free. Anything at all to get more DAISIES!

I am STILL having withdrawal symptoms from PD! It is by far the most originally beautiful show for this generation and has such a positivity in a time when the recession and unemployment and life in general is just pretty pants!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
I’ll back Dave- cash or first born child- your choice!?

Can this please happen? I miss the series soooo much I’ve watched it through countless times and there isn’t one episode I absolutely adore except the last, and the only reason I dislike it is because I cry at the end. I will do the firstb

I would love to see pushing daisies wrapped up nicely! so many questions about Ned’s dad and Chuck’s dad just leaving like that!
I saw the previews for Pushing daisies when it started and really wanted to watch it, but only got around to it now (so I only finished watching Pushing daisies yesterday!) I was surprised to see that there are still lots of comments and fans fighting to get it back after 2 years!! That must mean something to the network guys right? Or do they not really care about that? Anyway, I hope that you get the mini series, I’ll sign a petition or whatever if we need to! :-)

the show left a lot of loose ends, its one of the best shows ever it needs to come back at least for a couple of episodes, wish you all the luck in your attempts for the mini series.

I would love if this happened, and I know an awful lot of people in Ireland and the UK who really miss the show! It really was fantastic, the cast were brilliant, the story was amazing, it just has to come back!

I think that’s a great idea!! Is there a petition I can sign? Without wanting to sound too dramatic, Pushing Daisies changed my life! Bryan really gave the world such a blessing with that show! I have a pretty colorful imagination and watching Pushing Daisies was like seeing my thoughts on screen, which is rare trust me. Love it!
