"Judge Dredd: Mega City-One" series is in the works. The project is developed by IM Global Television joining forces with U.K. games developer Rebellion. It's going to be a live-action adaptation. No network is attached to the show.
According to Entertainment Weekly, it is set in "a future where the East Coast of the U.S. has become a crowded and crime-ridden megalopolis. The plan is to make the series an ensemble drama about a team of Judges - futuristic cops invested with the power to be judge, jury, and executioner - as they deal with the challenges the future-shocked 22nd century throws at them."
Judge Dredd was first adapted for the big screen in 1995 with Sylvester Stallone as the titular hero. Karl Urban assumed the role in 2012's "Dredd". Although the R-rated remake was not a box office hit, it quickly drew a cult following. The new Dredd is yet to be announced.
