‘Hogan’s Heroes’ Sequel Series: Descendants’ Modern Day Treasure Hunt – TVLine

RELATED STORIES

I see nothing particularly interesting about the premise behind it. And yet a sequel to Hogans Heroes is apparently in the works.

As reported by our sister site Deadline, the original series co-creator, Al Ruddy, in association with Village Roadshow Entertainment Group and Danny McBrides Rough Pictures, is developing a follow-up to the World War II-set comedy, which aired from September 1965 to April 1971 and starred Bob Crane (as Hogan), Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink), Richard Dawson (Newkirk) and John Banner (Schultz), among others in a somewhat rotating cast.

But whereas the original series currently one of my go-to MeTV night-enders was set during World War II and followed the titular POWs in a German prison camp, the sequel would take place all the way in the present day thats quite a jump, if I paid attention correctly in history class and follow descendants of the heroes as they team up for a globe-trotting treasure hunt.

Are you champing at the bit to catch up with Hogans, what, great-great-grandson? Or is this the case of an IP being misused?
