Raised By Wolves in line for American makeover
The production company behind Caitlin Moran's hit series 'Raised by Wolves' is in talks to potentially launch an American version of the show next year.
The autobiographical show was developed by the BBC and broadcast on Channel 4 three years ago.
It details the life and times of Moran, a celebrated author, feminist and avid Twitter celebrity who is originally from Wolverhampton.
The popular writer and journalist began her rise to stardom when she wrote for The Times at the tender age of 17.
Moran, the eldest of eight children with four sisters and
three brothers, grew up in a three-bedroom council house in the city.
Raised by Wolves follows Moran's unconventional upbringing in Wolverhampton, as she was home-schooled from the age of 11. Rumours regarding a US re-make of the show hit the airways in a radio interview with Moran.
She said: "It is one of these things that you can't say because it's all contractual and things like that.
"But basically pretty much my favourite female writer in the world is going to write 'Raised by Wolves' the American version."
Asked if Tina Fey, an American actress and comedian, would be involved in the re-make, Moran said: "I can't say anything.
"In a way it makes more sense in America, because their home education is much bigger and also the whole Della's (Caitlin's mother played by Rebekah Staton in the UK show) into the apocalypse, she's preparing, she's a survivalist."
