‘Gulliver’s Travels’ Getting Contemporary TV Remake From Moonriver, Federation Studios
Tom Bidwell has written a six-part reimagining of Jonathan Swift's classic told through the eyes of his 21st century wife
The fantasy adventure series is in development with a major European broadcaster, according to the producers, and follows on the heels of Moonriver’s recent series “Nautilus,” inspired by Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea,” currently on Amazon Prime in the U.K., Stan in Australia and France 2 and awaiting rollout by AMC in the U.S. Foundation is no stranger to Verne’s universe either, having previously adapted “Around the World in 80 Days” for Masterpiece PBS, BBC and the European Alliance. It’s a timeless classic we’ve been dying to revisit for some time now, and with Tom’s incomparable voice, plus our combined four-quadrant know-how, we can finally allow new generations to rediscover Swift’s ever so relevant tale.” “The Gullivers” is a co-production between Moonriver TV (“Nautilus”, “A Gentleman in Moscow,” “Mrs Harris Goes to Paris”) and Federation Studios (“The Agency,” “The Bureau” and “Around the World in Eighty Days”) with Bidwell creating and writing the series.
