Lifetime is ready for Fame. The female-skewing cable network has picked up MGM Television's long-gestating Fame reboot, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, with Smash and Gossip Girl alum Josh Safran attached.
First announced in August 2012, the drama hails from MGM Television and is described as a reimagining of the 1980 hit movie and subsequent NBC TV series. The drama, like the originals, revolves around a group of adults struggling to balance high pressures of life at a performing arts college along with the trials and drama of their personal lives.
The potential series, which is in the early stages of development, will be produced by MGM Television and A+E Studios, which boarded the drama as a co-producer when it landed at Lifetime.

Wait, the original Fame is a classic and you can't be messing that up just like with the 2009 film. For me, it's one of the best tv series of all time.

ReplyDeleteIn theory I think a show based on a performing arts high school is a fine idea and could work well..
ReplyDeleteI do wonder why they need to call it Fame though!
Because brand recognition makes it an easier sell.
ReplyDeleteMeh... I don't think TV needs this right now, but meh...
