A Groundhog Day TV series is reportedly in the works.
Groundhog Day is a dark comedy starring Bill Murray. In the film, Murray’s character wakes up one day and realizes that it is in fact, yesterday. At the end of each day, the clock resets and he discovers he is doomed to live the same day on repeat.
Stephen Tobolowsky played the insurance agent Ned Ryerson in the movie. In a recent interview, Tobolowsky rvealed that a Groundhog Day TV series in the works and that it will be set 30 years after the 1993 film.
“There’s talk about a Groundhog Day series in the works,” he told The Production Meeting Podcast.
“One of the producers—I was working on The Goldbergs or [the spin-off series] Schooled, one of those shows over on the Sony lot, and one of the producers saw me and goes, ‘Oh, Stephen! Stephen! We’re working on a Groundhog Day TV show. Could you be Ned for the TV show?’ I go, ‘Sure. Yeah. No problem.’ But it’s Ned thirty years later. What has his life become?”
It’s unknown whether Bill Murray will be reprising his role as Phil in the TV series. Hopefully, we will be able to share more details soon.
