Mark-Paul Gosselaar would “love” Netflix to revive Franklin & Bash for Season 5, per Cinema Blend:
I’d love to do a Netflix series for Franklin & Bash. Breckin would be on board for that too. Actually, I’m working with the showrunner, creator of Franklin & Bash on my Fox thing, Kevin Falls, who was on West Wing and Journeyman, and I actually said to him, I said, we have to do a reboot of Franklin & Bash. He’s on board.
Gosselaar elaborates on why he feels the cancelled TNT comedy-drama would work well at an outlet like Netflix:
For us, Franklin & Bash, for Breckin [Meyer] and I, creatively was, just not, it didn’t hit the mark, financially it certainly didn’t hit the mark, because we were doing cable, 10 episodes a year. We always wanted to do Franklin & Bash, the way it should be, as Netflix show, as an HBO show. Those characters are too damn good to have been on a cable network where we couldn’t push. It could have been Entourage. It should have been Entourage. These guys have, these two characters, I just love them. Every time I talk about it with Breckin, we smile and currently we’re developing something together, because we love working together, but these characters are just too good. They have all this power. They’re attorneys in Los Angeles who do well for themselves. They should be representing celebrities. they should be representing all these… So I see that Entourage value.
Could it happen? Stay tuned as we stalk the cancellation graveyard for signs of a Franklin & Bash Season 5 revival story…

THIS WOULD BE GREAT NEWS!!!!! I was so disappointed when the show was canceled by TNT. Stupid move on their part. PLEASE NETFLIX PICK UP THE SHOW!!!!! I subscribed to Netflix when they revived Longmire and this would make my subscription even more satisfying.
