The Dresden Files is headed to the small screen … again. Deadline reports Fox21 Television Studios is developing a new TV show based on the books by Jim Butcher.
The fantasy novels “follow private investigator and wizard Harry Dresden, as he recounts investigations into supernatural disturbances in modern-day Chicago.” The books were adapted as a TV series by Syfy in 2007, but the show was cancelled after only one season.
Fox21’s Dresden Files series does not have a network attached yet. Ileen Maisel is producing the project alongside John Fischer and Julie Waters from Temple Hill Entertainment.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Dresden Files books? Would you watch the new TV series?
I hope this attempt will be truer to the books than first tv series. That was quite awful! Harry Dresden wearing a ball cap and wheeling a hockey stick?! And please keep Bob as a voice only. He’s a spirit. I could go on. The books are amazing. In bringing this back to tv there is a chance to do it right this time. Please, please have Harry being a bad ass and wearing his Duster while driving the battered beetle!
Oh please do the series justice it is a story that would be perfect for tv
I truly hope they do the right thing and make each book into a season. there is enough content to stretch them out…especially if they do it on Netflix or something. Here is to hoping!!!
I hope they do a better job with this attempt then they did with the last one. They rushed it too much and that affected how the show came across. But I love the books so I hope it works this time
Have read the series 3 times and would love to see it become another tv show1
Own the DVD of the old tv series and most of the books. Would definitely watch!
Love the book series the Dresden Files, loved the tv series the Dresden Files, can’t wait until it comes to tv again!
Bring on the Dresden Files! Great books and original should never have been cancelled. It was great.
I’ve been reading The Dresden Files for years. For me, it’s is part of my personal favorites alongside Star Wars, Star Trek adding a love of good-hearted snark and a punk rock love of dungeons and Dragons. Best of all, Butcher gives us real characters who struggle and grow … please bring these stories to the screen!
love the books, and I watched the series. I will definitely watch if it is on a cable or network channel
Love the Dresden books! Loved the SyFy show too! Looking forward to this. 🙂
Can hardly wait love the books
DOING THE HAPPY HAPPY DANCE! Hope they do it right.
GREAT, ABOUT TIME. FANTASTIC SERIES!
