CBS developing a Stripes TV series

November 19, 2017 by Gary Collinson

It looks like the 1981 comedy Stripes could be the latest movie to find itself making the transition to the small screen, with Deadline reporting that CBS is developing a single camera comedy series based upon the film.

According to the site, the series will revolve around a rebellious outsider who finds his calling when he enlists in the U.S. military. Ivan Reitman, director of the original film, is on board to direct and executive produce alongside show creators Trevor Moore, Sam Brown and Zach Cregger.

Stripes was a huge hit back in 1981, grossing over $85 million from a $10 million budget, and featured a cast that included Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Warren Oates, P. J. Soles, Sean Young and John Candy.

Originally published November 19, 2017. Updated April 18, 2018.
