We already have a discussion about a possible Judge Dredd TV series - now Rebellion Publishing have announced they're setting up their own film studio which will be used to film this, along with a Rogue Trooper film:

There's more information on the BBC website: Dredd publisher to open major film studio

A disused newspaper factory in the south of England is to be converted into a major film studio complex.

The £78m Daily Mail printing press in Didcot, Oxfordshire, has been purchased by media company Rebellion.

It will film adaptations a Rogue Trooper film and a Judge Dredd TV show there.

Six soundstages will be available at the 220,000 sq ft (67,000 sq m) site, creating 500 jobs. The complex is due to open in the Spring.

The stages and production offices, situated near Didcot Power Station, will be available to makers of TV dramas and large scale films.

I added this to the Mega-City One tv thread.

I wonder if this means the TV series is even more likely now?

I think it's very promising news. And if MC-1 does well perhaps an SD series to follow? One can hope.

I wonder if this means the TV series is even more likely now?

IMDB says it's (2019-) but I haven't been able to find an actual source for this. Do we have any info on a release at all? Or even cast members?

There has been no news other than it's proceeding. Realistically I wouldn't expect to see anything before 2020/21 at the earliest.
