It only makes sense that one of the cool characters of the era, artificial intelligence personality Max Headroom, would want to come back.
matt frewer will reprise his role as Max Headroom in a potential drama series for AMC networks. The adaptation is being written by Halt and Catch Fire co- creator Christopher Cantwell, who is also an executive producer on Prime Video's new Paper Girls.
You want to know who Max Headroom is. The character's appearance in a legendary broadcast signal intrusion incident is not included in the rundown, but there are some pop-ups I had no idea existed. In the 1985 British cyberpunk TV movie Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future, the host known as the computer-generated TV host was introduced. He went on to host a music-video show, star in ads for New Coke, and headline his own prime time show, Max Headroom, which aired on ABC for two seasons from 1987-88. The character has remained a cult favorite with references to pop culture on shows like BoJack Horseman and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
It is not yet known when we will see this cult favorite again, but we will demand our MTV until more is known.
