Geffen Records is working with Sony to modernize The Partridge Family and bring it back to TV according to Variety.
Details surrounding the scripted remake are thin, but insiders said the show will take a tongue-in-cheek, modern-day approach to the original series.
Idea to revive “Partridge Family” came from discussions between Fair and Reveille managing director Howard Owens on ways they could develop a family show centered around the music business.
“We decided to take a shot at acquiring the original rights and resurrecting the show with a new spin,” Fair said.
You would think after the failed MTV search for the next Partridge Family that this concept would not be happening, but I guess they believe in the expression “If at first you don’t succeed. Try, try again.”
BTW what’s next The Brady Bunch?
