ABC Orders Pilot for 'Rabbit,' a U.S. Remake of British Hit 'Ludwig'
ABC has ordered a pilot for 'Rabbit,' a U.S. adaptation of the British comedy drama 'Ludwig.' The project is produced by 20th Television and developed by Megan Ganz, Humphrey Ker, Jon Steinberg, and Dan Shotz. The original series, starring David Mitchell, became the most-watched scripted show in the UK in 2026, with its second season premiere drawing over 9 million viewers. 'Rabbit' follows a similar premise but is set in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where a reclusive puzzle writer poses as his missing twin brother to infiltrate the local police department. The series is part of a recent trend of American networks remaking successful European formats, following recent adaptations of British and Italian shows on Fox and CBS.
