thewayneJohn Cleese and his daughter Camilla are working on a return to Fawlty Towers! The concept is Basil's daughter is running a boutique hotel and (is silly enough to) brings in her father to help run it.
What could possibly go wrong?
ROB REINER is involved in the production, so tremendous potential is seen. Reiner is also involved in making a sequel to This Is Spinal Tap!
Lots of good stuff! No information on when or where the currently non-existent series will stream.

It'll be interesting to see. I'm hoping to rewatch the original series soon to see how it holds up. I do remember that I found Basil to be a cringeworthy character who was sometimes hard to take, I'm not sure how much I'll like it these days. It wasn't always entirely his fault that life was conspiring against him, but he pretty much never made it better with his actions.
