Karl Urban Wants a DREDD Series for Netflix or Amazon Prime
A few months there was a fan petition started to get to continue Karl Urban’s version of Judge Dredd as a TV series. That petition got over 145,000 signatures, and Urban is completely on board with the idea. He backed the petition along with co-star Olivia Thirlby, and the actor is continuing to push the concept of keeping the story of Dredd rolling forward as a TV series.
The first movie, which was written and directed by Alex Garland, was a damn good film, and I thought Urban was awesome in the titular role. There’s been talk of a sequel for some time now, but I believe a TV series would be the best way to keep this franchise going.
Urban is keeping the dream alive for fans and recently tweeted that he’d totally do a series on Netflix or Amazon. It was sparked by a fan-made image of what Dredd 2 would look like on Netflix. This is what the actor said:
Dredd 2 : I'd do it !! @netflix or @Amazon . There's a gold mine of Awesome Mega city 1 stories ! https://t.co/5KeUAizPNS

Hell yeah, there's a gold mine of stories! Seeing what Netflix has done with Marvel, there’s no doubt in my mind that a Dredd series developed by Garland would be incredible. Someone who has the power to make this happen has got to know that this is a great idea and that it shouldn’t be ignored, right?!
