An American adaptation of the Australian television series of the same name.
Although Jason Gann remained involved with the American adaptation, the series took a distinctly different form to its Australian inspiration, and Gann's creative involvement was not as intensive as it was with the Australian version.
Notes
-
Award winning and individually published episodes in this series are included on AustLit.
-
In 2013, after the success of the American version, there were widespread reports that Renegade Films (the production company behind the Australian version of Wilfred) had sold the concept to a Ukrainian-based production company, Star Media Group, who would make a Russian version called Charlie. As of 2015, no further information on this production is available.
