Is It Time for a Burn Notice Revival?
A look at the recent trends and interest that indicate now may be the best time for a Burn Notice revival.
The Nostalgia Factor
The series Burn Notice ended in 2013, but recent television trends and interest from the series' stars indicate now is the best time for a revival. The series followed Michael Westen, a former spy, played by Jeffrey Donovan. After Michael Westen was burned, being forced to leave the CIA, he resided in Miami and worked as a private investigator. The series is known for its witty dialogue, engaging narrative, and the cast of characters.

USA Network's Plan
USA Network, known for its 'blue sky' dramas, is looking to revive the genre, and a Burn Notice revival could be the perfect start for the network's return to its original programming. The 'blue sky' genre, characterized by outdoor settings and character-focused stories, includes shows like Psych, Royal Pains, Suits, and Burn Notice. Recent success in streaming numbers for Suits has sparked interest in bringing back this genre.

The Potential for a Film
Considering the open-ended nature of the series finale, a revival through a film is a viable option. Other successful television series, like Monk, have been adapted into films, reigniting fan interest and providing closure to the characters' stories. A film about Burn Notice could bring audiences up-to-date with the characters a decade later and reignite fanfare surrounding the series.
