HBO is developing a U.S. remake of 'Back,' the Channel 4 comedy created by Simon Blackwell and starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
Kenton Allen, the CEO of Back producer Big Talk Studios, confirmed plans for the remake of the Channel 4 series in an interview with Deadline. Blackwell also created Breeders, the Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard comedy that ran for four seasons on FX and Sky, and worked on Veep. Back followed Stephen (Mitchell) as he tried to take over his recently deceased father’s family business, but his plans were foiled by the unexpected return of his estranged foster brother, Andrew (Webb).
