Franklin & Bash ended its run on TNT after four seasons in 2014, but one member of the cast would like to see the series revived. Mark-Paul Gosselaar spoke about his desire to revive the series during a Q&A at the Gasparilla Film Festival.
The actor was asked if he would like to see any of his previous shows revived by Netflix. The streaming service is currently working on a Gilmore Girls revival after successfully releasing a revival of Full House.
Gosselaar said the following, according to Cinema Blend:
“I’d love to do a Netflix series for Franklin & Bash. Breckin would be on board for that too. Actually, I’m working with the showrunner, creator of Franklin & Bash on my Fox thing, Kevin Falls, who was on West Wing and Journeyman, and I actually said to him, I said, we have to do a reboot of Franklin & Bash. He’s on board.”
In fact, Gosselaar revealed that he always wanted to series to be produced as a Netflix show or for a cable network like HBO. He said:
“For us, Franklin & Bash, for Breckin [Meyer] and I, creatively was, just not, it didn’t hit the mark, financially it certainly didn’t hit the mark, because we were doing cable, 10 episodes a year. We always wanted to do Franklin & Bash, the way it should be, as Netflix show, as an HBO show. Those characters are too damn good to have been on a cable network where we couldn’t push.”
There is no way to know if a Franklin & Bash revival will ever happen, but Gosselaar sounds excited about the possibility. Currently, he is signed up for Pitch, a FOX pilot currently in development. His last series, Truth be Told, was cancelled after just 10 episodes by NBC.

Yes please bring it back! The show and actors were great! Bring back Garcelle Beauvais please! Meyer, Gosselaar, McDowell, Diamond, Davis, Nanjing should be on my screen!
Please bring it back..I loved it.
I fricken loved this show it was awesome,I’m so mad they took it away, so stupid,it was so funny, every time I get into a show they discontinue it …..
Bring the show back! I agree 100% it would be better on netflix or somewhere that they can take it the extra mile. Watching season 4 as I type this!
My family loved that show. We never understood why it canceled. Great characters and great acting.
I loved the show and was very upset that TNT cut it short to go in a more “gritty” direction with their line up. I would 100% watch it if it were to have a comeback on streaming or premium channels. Those characters would be awesome without the constraints of cable television
Loved the show was so upset when i got to end of season 4 to find out there was no season 5…..Loved it, loved it loved it… extremely entertaining, funny, serious, and did i say i loved it…..
It was the greatest ever,fresh funny and entertaining I am watching reruns on chch tv
I enjoy the series immensely and I’d love to see you reopened. It had great actors actresses and had substance I could actually deal with. Out of 10 Stars I would give it 10 star rating which is a top line series
F&B was a great show. So much better than what is on TV now. I was pretty upset they got cancelled. Let’s reboot it!
Franklin and Bash was to great of a show to only have 4 seasons bring it back!!!
I actually agree with what was said, if Netflix or HBO put out the show it would be amazing! They could go full tilt and really push the characters as far as you could tell they wanted too. I think with even 1 season they would find it to be well worth it! 🙂
bring fraklin and bash to netflix!!! it is one of my favourite shows and it deserves a second chance!!!
Franklin & Bash is one of my top favorite shows of all time. I would be ecstatic if I found out that they were really doing a reboot! Please, Netflix!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Just finished watching the series on Crackle! I have been looking everywhere for it. We LOVE the show and would be thrilled if it were to return on Netflix!
