“Spitting Image” Reboot Getting Closer To Reality

This better happen.

We told you guys earlier this year about a potential reboot of the classic iTV puppet series, Spitting Image, and now Deadline is reporting that a pickup of the series is heating up.

Apparently, numerous networks are eyeing the reboot including HBO, Netflix, Amazon, and NBC with original creator Roger Law attached to co-create the satirical puppet series that will be written in New York and produced in the UK.

Our Take

NBC tried once at bringing this series to the US but failed miserably, and I hate the idea of this series on a broadcast network. A streaming service or HBO is far more of an attractive project because then you don’t have to worry about censors.
