NBC Is Trying To Reboot THE IT CROWD Yet Again

NBC refuses to give up on adapting The IT Crowd for an American audience. On its third attempt to revitalize the British comedy, Deadline writes original series creator Graham Linehan is working on another script in an attempt to make his cult hit franchise a success in the U.S..

NBC first attempted to do this in 2007 and commissioned a pilot featuring Joel McHale, Jessica St. Clair, and cast member from the original series Richard Ayoade (far left in the picture). The series never made it to air as new NBC executive Ben Silverman gave it the ax before any episodes could be shown. In 2012 the pilot for the series was leaked online and many who were fans of the original series critiqued it for not being nearly as good.

In 2014 it was announced yet again that an American version of The IT Crowd was in development, although nothing has been heard of that project since. With this new announcement, we're left to assume that attempt quietly faded away. 

Hopefully, the third time's a charm when it comes to the development of this show as I would love to see an American version of this series do as well as The Office did! Anyone here opposed to seeing a remake?
