Max Headroom Reboot Show With Original Star In Development
A Max Headroomreboot is in the works at AMC Networks, with Matt Frewer set to return to his role as the world’s first artificial intelligence TV star. The science fiction satire aired on ABC from 1987 to 1988 and is set in a futuristic dystopia where television runs the world, turning it off is illegal, and even the government works under the hands of powerful network executives. Edison Carter, an investigative journalist on a mission to expose the corruption of these media giants, copies his mind into a computer to create a digital version of himself that will bring the system down – Max Headroom.
