Back in 2017 we brought you the news that a Judge Dredd TV series, dubbed Mega-City One was in development.
The series, which still remains in development, is set to focus on the world of the titular Mega-City One. Lined with huge tower blocks and littered with Judges, the world of 2000 AD’s comics were set to expand beyond the series most famous character.
In a new interview with Screen Geek, Dredd star Karl Urban has again gone on record to state that he would be open to returning to the role to appear on the show.
“Well, listen, it’s very, very early to get into any specifics on that, but I’ve gone on the record before saying that I would love to come back and be a part of that world and tell more Dredd stories,” said Urban. “There is just a plethora of great, great stories within the Judge Dredd universe. I think that Jason [Kingsley] and his team – I think that the legacy of Judge Dredd is in great hands.”
“[If] I get the opportunity to work with those guys, you can bet your bottom dollar I will be there because I think that it would be just a real rich and rewarding experience for, not only for us to collaborate, but for the fans. So, if that happens, that’d be fantastic and for whatever reason – and there are many – if it doesn’t happen, I wish them the best, and I can’t wait to see what they do.”
Here’s hoping the producers of Mega-City One are able to make it happen!
