On September 3, it was announced that Korean cable channel tvN's reality-travel show “Grandpas Over Flowers” will be remade into an U.S version on channel NBC via U.S. distributor Small World IFT.
The NBC version of “Grandpas Over Flowers” titled “Better Late than Never” is scheduled to be broadcasted during the first half of next year.
“Grandpas Over Flowers” first aired on tvN last year with an interesting format in which five actors in their 70s will go on a backpack tour around the world with the help of a younger actor. The show was receiving hot reaction from Korean viewers and it is expecting to also be successful in the US.
“Better Late Than Never” will be produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the Oscar-winning producers of "Chicago“ (2002) and many other hit series like "Bucket List” (2007), “Smash” (2013) and “Happyland” (2014).
