TBS is set to remake German comedy Arthur’s Law – the first original comedy from Turner’s German network TNT Comedy.
The U.S. cable network has secured the rights to the project, which is known locally as Arthurs Gesetz, from its parent company. It has picked up the format rights to the series as well as the rights to run the German version with subtitles.
