The original TV series has two seasons of six episodes – and almost immediately rumors of a possible remake for HBO began to circulate. David Fincher, the famous filmmaker, was supposed to start work on the project. Having hired Rooney Mara for the role of Jessica Hyde, Fincher requested $ 100 million to shoot the first season. As HBO bosses considered this budget too large, the project was scrapped. However, in 2018, the Amazon streaming service took over work on a remake of The Utopia.
