"The plan is to make the series an ensemble drama about a team of Judges" - very cool, exactly what I was hoping for.

My advice to the producers: watch every damn episode of Hill Street Blues, and learn. Whilst I'm not saying they should be aiming to make "HSB with Judges", I'd really like to see them replicate that sense of barely controlled anarchy the show often portrayed so successfully. It's perfect for Mega-City one, particularly if they go with the movie concept: "Twelve serious crimes reported every minute. Seventeen thousand per day. We can respond to around six percent."

You have the same name as me, I too am Mark Taylor citizen! middle name being David.

Karl Urban WAS Judge Dredd for me. I've got everything crossed that it will happen!

Urban would be nice, not sure about the logistics though.

SO EXCITED THIS REQUIRES AN OLD-SKOOL GIF



I'm sure it's already been said but "Film Discussion" should now become "Dredd Film & TV Discussion" surely?

After the disappointment of no Dredd sequel, this more than makes up for it!

Grud has heard our prayers and deemed us worthy!

DROKK YEAH!!!

I'm going to take a speculative guess that Dredd isn't going to be the main draw here.
He'll turn up for sure, definately in the first couple of episodes, but then we'll get a more The Pit style Judge procedural type thing, with Dredd appearing every now-and-then (which could help accommodate a certain someone's schedule, maybe).

Has it been confirmed if this is a follow-on from the 2012 film yet?

The vibe I'm getting is 'Gotham' but in the Dreddverse (hopefully better though).

After such an amazing job on the movie I don't think Rebellion are going to let anyone fuck this up.

This is very welcome and very exciting news.

I've met a few! It's the curse of the common name. :D

Just thinking... If IM Global are involved in this, then does that mean this is a continuation of the 2012 movie universe?

ISTR reading in another thread that IM Global had the rights to the designs from 2012.
