Can you believe it's been 23 years since Six Feet Under first aired?! (23 years, 6 months, 19 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Six Feet Under end?
When Six Feet Under came to an end after 5 years in August 2005, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Ruth Fisher (Frances Conroy), Claire Fisher (Lauren Ambrose), David Fisher (Michael C. Hall) and Nate Fisher (Peter Krause). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Six Feet Under reunion disappoint people?
Six Feet Under aired from 2001-2005 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 Krause said he's not sure if Six Feet Under would work today. “I don't want to see old Nate Fisher,” he told a journalist (Krause turned 59 in August). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Six Feet Under movie?
In a recent interview, Lili Taylor (who played Lisa Kimmel Fisher) said he can't imagine a Six Feet Under 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 Sprague Grayden (who played Anita Miller between 2004 and 2005) 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 Six Feet Under movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Six Feet Under film, Lauren Ambrose stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Six Feet Under reboot?
Recasting Six Feet Under 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 Six Feet Under reunion, a Six Feet Under movie, or a Six Feet Under reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
