Creator Bryan Fuller has now shared additional details on the recently announced plans to bring cult ABC TV series PUSHING DAISIES to the musical stage some season soon as part of a new interview.

"There's a couple of format options," Fuller recently revealed of the proposed project.

Elaborating, Fuller commented, "Barry [Sonnenfeld] said to me, 'I have some ideas on how we could pull this off!' I would love to do a musical, and I also would love to do a movie [as opposed to a Netflix run], because you have higher impact and it also has an iconography."

Furthermore, Fuller says, "I would love to do a musical and make it all about Kristin Chenoweth and her character, Olive Snook."

Additionally, Fuller adds, "I think it would be incredible!"

Of note, PUSHING DAISIES aired on ABC from 2007 to 2009, completing two seasons before it was cancelled by the network.

Additionally, the show received 17 Emmy nominations during its run, winning 7, with Chenoweth winning Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series for her work along with Sonnenfeld for Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series.

Besides Chenoweth, the series also famously featured a number of other Broadway notables in recurring roles, including Lee Pace, Jim Dale, Raul Esparza, Ellen Greene and Swoosie Kurtz.
