Prepare the Waldorf salads, because Basil Fawlty is heading back to the screen. Castle Rock Entertainment announced that the British sitcom Fawlty Towers is getting a revival, with John Cleese set to return as writer and star. His daughter, Camilla Cleese, will also write and star in the show's return. Matthew George, Rob Reiner, Michele Reiner, and Derrick Rossi executive produce for Castle Rock Television, which is developing the project. At this time, no additional cast has been revealed.
The series originally premiered in 1975 with Season 1 and 1979 for its second season, with both seasons consisting of just six episodes. It followed Basil Fawlty , a cynical man who struggled to keep his hotel and his marriage together. In its short run, the show offered no shortage of problems for Basil, including the difficult guests, hotel inspectors, and more.
