Comedian Romesh Ranganathan is taking on the role of director for a modern reboot of the iconic children’s show Art Attack, aiming to inspire a new generation of creative viewers.
Fans of the iconic children’s television show Art Attack will be excited to learn that comedian and television host Romesh Ranganathan is reportedly set to direct a modern reboot of the beloved series. The show, which originally aired between 1990 and 2007 on Children’s ITV (CITV), is being brought back for a new generation of viewers.
Ranganathan’s production company, Ranga Bee, is currently in the process of creating this updated version, informally dubbed as “Art Attack for the next generation” which is expected to be broadcast on a major children’s network, likely the Children’s BBC (CBBC).
An insider close to the production revealed, “Like millions of Brits who grew up in the Nineties and Noughties, Romesh was no doubt a fan of the show. So now he’s passing that joy on to the next generation with this modern-day interpretation.”
Filming for the new Art Attack is slated to commence next month and is expected to continue over several months, making it unlikely for the show to premiere before 2025.
The original Art Attack series was hosted and co-created by Neil Buchanan, who became a household name due to his engaging and easy-to-follow art tutorials. The show delighted viewers for 17 years before it ended in 2007. An attempted reboot in 2011 ultimately lasted only four years, ending in 2015.
