The BBC may produce a new series of Watership Down like the one from 1999, which was not very successful, though. But I admit I liked it very much, in spite of their flaws. I hope this time they start the series at the beginning and not in the middle of events, which I think confused many people.
For some time there were also some rumors about a new CGI remake of the movie, but you can hardly find any information anymore, so maybe they replaced it with this series. However it still needs to be confirmed.
