Can you believe it's been 17 years since Pushing Daisies first aired?! (17 years, 1 month, 18 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Pushing Daisies end?
When Pushing Daisies came to an end after 2 years in June 2009, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Chuck (Anna Friel) and Ned (Lee Pace). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Pushing Daisies reunion disappoint people?
Pushing Daisies aired from 2007-2009 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Friel said she's not sure if Pushing Daisies would work today. “I don't want to see old Chuck,” she told a journalist (Friel turned 57 in July). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Pushing Daisies movie?
In a recent interview, Kristin Chenoweth (who played Olive Snook) said she can't imagine a Pushing Daisies reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Anna Friel has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Pushing Daisies movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Pushing Daisies film, Lee Pace stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Pushing Daisies reboot?
Recasting Pushing Daisies for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Pushing Daisies reunion, a Pushing Daisies movie, or a Pushing Daisies reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
