Tom Ellis, the actor behind the iconic character Gary in Miranda, has sparked excitement among fans by hinting at a potential revival of the beloved sitcom. In an interview with Radio Times, Ellis revealed ongoing conversations with creator Miranda Hart about bringing the show back.
Ellis, who has been living and working in the US, expressed his enthusiasm for a potential revival, emphasizing the importance of Hart's creative vision. He believes that Miranda's success lies in her unique writing style and resistance to overproducing the show.
"She wrote every episode, and it all came from her head," Ellis said. "There were times when the BBC tried to help her with other writers, but it just didn't work because it was so unique to her voice. That's why there are only 20 episodes, but they're 20 brilliant episodes."
The actor also discussed his role in the FBI spin-off series, CIA, where he plays a British CIA agent. Ellis's performance as a British character was a last-minute decision by the show's creator, Dick Wolf, adding a charming dynamic to the series.
This interview highlights the enduring appeal of Miranda and the potential for a revival. While no official announcement has been made, fans can only hope that Ellis and Hart will bring their beloved sitcom back to life, capturing the magic that made it so beloved in the first place.
