A series failed to be commissioned, but that hasn’t stopped Starz from launching a now-third attempt at a US Peep Show, following a short-lived 2008 project at Spike.
Never is the cult British TV show safe from the admiring gaze of US networks, eager to earn a quick buck with formless replication.
It Crowd fell victim to a near-identical replication which bizarrely brought back Richard Ayoade as Moss, alongside Community’s Joel McHale.
Peep Show, which concluded its 12-year run on Channel 4 last year, already suffered a remake attempt in 2005; when Fox produced a pilot with The Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki attempting to recreate the charm of David Mitchell’s Mark Corrigan.
