Pushing Daisies Revival: Season 3 in the Works?

Pushing Daisies, the unique and heartwarming series that captivated audiences with its blend of whimsy and murder mysteries, might be making a comeback. Creator Bryan Fuller has revealed he is actively pursuing a third season for the show, which concluded its original run 16 years ago. This news comes as a delightful surprise to fans who have long hoped for a continuation.

Fuller has indicated that the original cast is on board with the revival plans, and there is even talk of commencing filming as early as 2026. While not yet a done deal, this development suggests the project has moved beyond mere speculation. The original Pushing Daisies aired on ABC for two truncated seasons between 2007 and 2009.

The distinctive series followed Ned, the Piemaker, who possessed the power to reanimate the dead with a touch, using his ability to solve crimes while running his pastry shop. Its unusual, lighthearted tone contrasted with its darker storylines, contributing to its cult status despite an early cancellation. A key challenge for the revival will be securing a broadcast or streaming platform, as the show was produced by Warner Bros.
