Not every successful show needs to be remade for a new audience, though it can feel more and more like the opposite is true. For every great original production on the big or small screen, there’s another that takes pre-existing material and brings it to a new audience.
Whether it’s English-language takes on foreign-language productions, American takes on English shows and films, or simply refreshed versions of older (and sometimes not even that old) material, we’ve picked out some of the best examples.
