If you were dreading seeing a remake of The Munsters come to television, you’ve got a little reprieve.
Variety reports that Mockingbird Lane, the new title for the Munsters project, is out of the running for the fall portion of the 2012-13 season.
According to sources, the network doesn’t want to rush the project so filming won’t take place until summer. This means that Mockingbird Lane will be considered for mid-season but likely won’t be on the 2011-12 schedule when NBC holds its advertiser upfronts in May.
Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller is the creative force behind the Munsters remake and first started working on the project in 2010. NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt liked the general direction but passed on his first script. Fuller and NBC execs met about the project last summer and Fuller took another stab at it.
