Hide AdGolding told a news outlet: “I talk about it every day. I mean, I’d love it. I think it would work probably best as an animation now, with the characters, because they’re such strong characters. But it’s just a huge logistical process to get it back into a live-action show… there was over 100 people in the team.”
Golding suggested that while a full live-action revival might be challenging, an animated version of the show could be more feasible. “I think it would work now, but possibly on a smaller scale as an animation. But I’d love them to bring it back. I think we should petition the country to get them back. Get all the 20-something-year-olds together and say, look, we’re having kids now,” he added.
Despite the enthusiasm from the cast, formal talks with the rights holders, reportedly DreamWorks, have yet to begin. Golding said: “Obviously amongst us, we’re all saying they should do it, because I believe the rights are sitting in someone’s drawer at DreamWorks now.”
