EXCLUSIVE: Roku is bringing some laughter to the 1950s drama series Tightrope! The streamer has greenlit a comedy reimagining of the series starring Ty Burrell and executive produced by Bryan Cranston.
According to Roku, the new series “reshapes the drama of the vintage 1950s series into a slapstick comedy, where Burrell plays a lone wolf detective following cases city to city, while he searches for his long-lost love who got away.” “Since Tightrope!
is a comedy about a detective (and finding a Wallenda seemed off brand) we’re thrilled to have Ty Burrell and Bryan Cranston join us at Roku for this imaginative, funny series,” Charlie Collier, President, Roku Media said in a statement. “What a joy to welcome Ty and Bryan to the Roku Originals lineup, along with the Moonshot and Desert Whale teams and our partners at Village Roadshow Television.
