Fawlty Towers Revival
....A new duo is moving into Fawlty Towers.
Original series creator and star John Cleese and his daughter Camilla Cleese are developing a revival of the classic British comedy, which they will write and star in
Fawlty Towers, which aired two six-episode seasons on the BBC in the 1970s, featured John Cleese as Basil Fawlty, the owner of the show’s titular hotel, which he ran alongside his wife Sybil. In the update, the “over-the-top, cynical and misanthropic” Basil and the daughter he just discovered he had will “tempt fate and team up to run a boutique hotel.”
Matthew George, Rob Reiner, Michele Reiner and Derrick Rossi will executive-produce the project for Castle Rock Television. An outlet is not yet attached to the revival........

Bosch Franchise Expanding With 2 New Crime Dramas in Development
.....Stand back, new DCU. The Bosch Universe is possibly expanding further.
Amazon Studios has announced that it is developing two new shows inspired by the work of best-selling author Michael Connelly, whose Harry Bosch novels of course already gave us Bosch (which ran seven season on Prime Video) and then Bosch: Legacy (currently between Seasons 1 and 2 on Freevee).
One of the series in development would be a police drama following Harry Bosch’s former partner, Detective Jerry Edgar, after he gets tapped for an undercover FBI mission in Little Haiti, Miami. “In this glamorous city, J. Edgar is forced to balance his new life with the gritty underbelly of the city, while being chased by his mysterious past,” says the synopsis.
Though The Wire‘s Jamie Hector played J. Edgar on Bosch, no casting has been locked for the prospective offshoot; Connelly would exec-produce alongside Larry Andries, Henrik Bastin and Melissa Aouate, with Jasmine Russ as a co-EP.
The other Bosch-iverse series in the works would follow Detective Renee Ballard, a character from Connelly’s novels who is tasked with running the LAPD’s new cold case division. Beyond simply investigating unsolved crimes, Renee is dedicated to bringing credibility to the department and justice to the community. Having learned from her retired ally and mentor, Harry Bosch, Renee does things her way – solving cases in unconventional ways while navigating the politics of being a woman on the rise in the LAPD........
..........more.........Bosch.........?!
Dexter: Origins Prequel Spinoff Ordered to Series
.....It’s officially official: The Dexter prequel spinoff we first told you about last week has been formally ordered to series.
Showtime, which will soon be folded into Paramount+, confirmed on Monday that it has given a green light to Dexter: Origins, which will dramatize a young, early 20s Dexter Morgan “at the outset of his transition into the avenging serial killer he would become.”
Set in serial killer-ravaged Miami sometime in (presumably) the 1980s, Dexter: Origins “will begin as Dexter graduates college to join Miami Metro, where he meets younger versions of many of the characters we came to know in the original Dexter. And, of course, the show will also focus on Dexter’s family, including a very-much-alive Harry and a very formidable, teenage Deb.”
The soon-to-be rechristened Paramount+ with Showtime also confirmed that it is “exploring projects based on other characters from the Dexter universe,” including, as we reported, an offshoot centered on a young Trinity Killer, originally played by John Lithgow.......
