‘Ludwig’ Attracts U.S. Remake Interest As BBC Crime Comedy Locks Up Big Ratings, Season 2 Renewal & BritBox Deal
'Ludwig' attracts interest from U.S. showrunners after David Mitchell series became BBC's biggest comedy launch since 2018. Season 2 is confirmed.
Deadline hears that Big Talk Studios is entertaining interest from writers about adapting Ludwig for an American audience high on similar shows, including Only Murders in the Building. Created by Mark Brotherhood, the series stars Peep Show’s Mitchell as John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor, a reclusive puzzle-setter who becomes an unlikely detective when his twin brother goes missing. Ludwig was designed for Mitchell by Brotherhood after the actor said he was interested in playing a detective while working with Big Talk on Back, the Channel 4 series from Veep writer Simon Blackwell.
