HBO MAX Digs Up 'SIX FEET UNDER' For New Follow Up Series!

Most people will tell you that HBO came out with a few great shows in the past, The Sopranos, Game Of Thrones, Oz, etc. One that sometimes doesn’t get enough attention is the epic series ‘Six Feet Under'.’ The show delivered one of the most satisfying finales for a series when it ended.

It looks like HBO is exhuming the show and giving us a follow up series. Variety reports that a follow-up series is in the works at the premium cable network, but details on it are scarce.

No word on a writer or writers as of yet but series creator Alan Ball and executive producers Bob Greenblatt and David Janollari are all reportedly attached to executive produce.

Considering the finality of the last episode of the series, it doesn’t look like this follow up will be years after the original. Alan Ball, in 2015, had this to say about the possibility of a reunion. "I'm not sure there's ever been one of those reunion things that I've watched, or liked or cared about. You're trying to re-create something that's over. Usually, the whole point of it is money, ratings, things that aren't particularly inspirational to me. I can't imagine doing a reunion show of anything."

Not everyone on the production staff though, feels the same as Ball. Rick Cleveland told The Independent earlier this summer: "Within a year of the show ending I was wishing we had stuck with it for two more years. I'm not sure what stories we would have told. We had introduced small children into the cast, and to do them justice, we would have had to start building stories around those kids, and they were still probably too young to do that with. I have fantasies in my head about rebooting the show, but the stars are all the kids – they're David and Keith's two sons, and Federico's two sons, and Nate and Brenda's two daughters – they would all be in their twenties now, right? So you could build a whole new Fisher family drama around a new generation of people.".
