Amazon's Freevee services gives the go-ahead to a 10-episode remake of Channel 4 comedy Friday Night Dinner.

Amazon Freevee has given the go-ahead to a US remake of Channel 4's Friday Night Dinner.

The comedy, which aired for six series between 2011 and 2020, followed the antics of a Jewish couple and their two adult sons as they came together for a traditional Friday night dinner every week.

The US version will be called Dinner with the Parents and will essentially follow the same outline as the original, with two 20-something brothers visiting their parents for meals that never go to plan.

The streamer has given a 10-episode order for the first season of the show, which marks the first successful attempt at a remake on the fourth time of trying over the last decade.

Freevee - launched earlier this year as a replacement for IMDb TV - offers a library of free TV shows, films and curated streaming channels supported by advertising.
