Robert Downey Jr. to return to TV with HBO’s Perry Mason?
Here's the latest update from the world of Bollywood. We bet you wouldn't want to miss this. Read on for details... Downey’s planned Perry Mason reboot might find a home at HBO
Robert Downey Jr. is Marvel’s Iron Man but he’s now dabbling with the idea of returning to TV. There’s strong buzz that he’s working with HBO for a series. And that’s none other than Downey’s planned Perry Mason reboot. Downey earlier planned Perry Mason as a film with Warner Bros., but that somehow didn’t work out. The film was planned as early as 2011. The TV series Perry Mason, a criminal lawyer, ran on CBS from 1957 to 1966. If all goes well, Downey will not only have a role in the series but will be a TV producer too. This is not Downey’s first foray into TV. He earlier had a starring role in Ally McBeal. He entered the series in the 4th season as Larry Paul, Ally’s love-interest.
Criminal lawyer series have seen some impressive results. Drop Dead Diva, which revolved around a supermodel’s spirit going into a plus-sized defense attorney, ran for more than 6 seasons. The Good Wife, which had a woman return to her litigation career after her attorney husband is incarcerated on corruption charges, ran for 7 seasons and a spin-off is in the works. Then, there’s of course, Suits, which also ran for 6 seasons.
