Coming Attractions: Bloom County returns to television

 Bloom County creator Berkeley Breathed was said to have been disappointed with the final product of 1991's A Wish For Wings That Work, an adaptation of a book he'd written, featuring characters from the strip.

31 years later, Opus, Bill The Cat, and the rest are getting ready to make a comeback.


Fox has picked up a license to do a new Bloom County series, as the strip itself was revived online by Breathed 7 years ago. Emmy winning writer Tim Long (The Simpsons) will be a showrunner, and work with Breathed. Plans, it seems, call for the new Bloom County to launch in 2023 or '24.

Now, I wonder if they've released the current series in any other media.......
