Fans of the cult-favorite comedy-drama Pushing Daisies have just received the news they’ve waited over 15 years to hear. The whimsical, Emmy-winning series, which blended forensic mystery with fairy-tale romance, is one step closer to returning to screens, according to its creator, Bryan Fuller.
While promoting his latest feature film, the horror-thriller Dust Bunny (starring Mads Mikkelsen), Fuller was asked about the possibility of revisiting his beloved ABC series. His answer provides hope for viewers who have longed to see the return of Ned and the Pie Hole.
“Absolutely,” Fuller told The Mary Sue about wanting to revisit Pushing Daisies. “We have a season three pitch, and the entire cast wants to come back, and we’re hoping we get to return to them. We just have to find somebody who wants to make it.”
The latest update confirms that the creative team isn't just hoping for a return; they have a complete, developed plan ready to go. Fuller explained the process to the outlet “We’re working on a Season 3, and the whole cast wants to come back. And, we’ve got a whole story. We’re trying to do another season this year.”

Pushing Daisies premiered on ABC in October 2007 and was celebrated for its distinctive visual style and darkly charming premise. The Warner Bros. Television-produced fantasy centers on Ned (Lee Pace), a pie-maker who possesses the supernatural gift of being able to bring the dead back to life with a single touch—a gift complicated by the fact that a second touch will kill them permanently.
The Beloved Cast Ready to Return to Couer d’Coeurs
The original ensemble, which brought the town of Couer d’Coeurs to vibrant life, is reportedly fully onboard for the revival. That means fans can anticipate seeing Lee Pace back as Ned, the pie-maker, alongside Anna Friel as Chuck (Charlotte Charles), Ned’s reanimated childhood sweetheart. The revival would also bring back Kristin Chenoweth as the lovesick waitress Olive Snook—a role that earned her an Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Rounding out the main cast are Chi McBride as the private detective Emerson Cod, and Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene as the eccentric Charles sisters, Lili and Vivian.
The series, narrated by Jim Dale, became a critical darling during its initial run, garnering 17 Emmy Award nominations and taking home 7 golden statues, including one for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series. The show ran for two seasons before its cancellation. The hurdle now is finding the right production partner—a streaming service or network willing to finance and distribute the pitch. Given the enduring love for the show, which is currently available to stream on HBO Max, fans are crossing their fingers that a studio will step up to officially resurrect the beloved "forensic fairy tale" for a third season.
