If you’re anxiously awaiting the return of the Munsters to your TV screen…well, the series’ future appears to be a matter for debate. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline reported the NBC series Mockingbird Lane, based on the characters from the classic The Munsters series, is pretty much dead. However, the remake’s creator, Bryan Fuller, had something to say about that.
After reports circulated that the series had been shelved, Fuller took to Twitter to respond:

The new version was created Fuller and has Jerry O’Connell as Herman Munster, Eddie Izzard as Grandpa Munster, and Portia de Rossi as Lily Munster attached to star. The series is said to be aiming toward a more dramatic rather than supernatural tone.
So, right now we suggest you adopt a wait and see attitude.
