Peep Show Getting Another Shot at American Adaptation with Gender Reversal at FX with Karey Dornetto

Of the pre-existing shows and movies that are getting gender swapped as a modern “woke” update, Peep Show from the female perspective is actually quite the fascinating prospect. 

So much of the long running UK comedy is driven from a literal male gaze and accompanying perspective and seeing it from the other side opens up a whole other world of possibilities should FX order it to series. Knowing that a Portlandia writer, Karey Dornetto, is attached is also very alluring. 

Definitely, FX would be the network to take a chance on such a project, but we’ll just have to wait and see if they do indeed pick it up.

Maybe, this attempt at a Peep Show in America will stick? If it does, that means the show will technically continue its storied run after 12 years on UK’s Channel 4. It’ll be curious to see what sticks around from the dark comedy presented largely in first person for a U.S. version. 

In either case, Starz’s comedy line-up is becoming something to keep an eye on.
