Dredd was a lot of fun and a worthy adaptation of the beloved comic book series. Unfortunately, it failed to make a particularly significant impact at the box office and that's why there still hasn't been a sequel six years on. We are, however, getting a new TV series titled Mega-City One and now Karl Urban has shed some light on whether or not we should expect to see him make an appearance there.
"I’m not attached to it, although I did have a preliminary round of conversations with them," he teased. "I am interested in doing it. There are a lot of great stories to tell there… their idea for Mega-City One is basically to build the show around more rookie judges and young, new judges and Dredd would come in and out and I said that I’ll do it, but it has to be done in a meaningful way."
That's probably not the Judge Dredd TV series most of us were hoping for but it definitely sounds like it has some potential and there's no denying that seeing Urban show up now and again would be a definite bonus. As of right now, Mega-City One is being shopped around to a number of networks, including Netlfix and Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, it's been a while since we've heard anything.
