Interestingly, Berlanti is totally fine with somebody else taking over the show for a revival, if it got the green light.
He certainly has no shortage of other projects to work on as well, so it’s not like he’s lacking in jobs these days.
The show was a way for Greg Bertlanti to express himself back in the late 1990s, and his life has evidently changed to the point that he couldn’t channel the same emotional connection for a Dawson’s Creek revival.
Not all creators of hit shows might be willing to pass the torch to another producer, but Berlanti is apparently so cool with the prospect that he’d watch the revival.
